‘Pay later’ and ‘deposit based’ pre-orders #
PreProduct’s on-page cart just supports its own product and variants. The pre-order can contain multiple variants and quantities, but only from that one product. However, PreProduct remembers customer names and emails, so subsequent pre-orders on your site will be one click.
To send payment links out for multiple products at once, you will need to navigate to the ‘Customers’ screen in PreProduct. From here you can select the products you wish to send payment links for, once you select the products it will bring up all the customers that have ordered one, or more of the products selected. Then under actions click ‘Send customer payment links’, this will then show any filters you have selected and the products you will be sending payments links for, you can then click the ‘Send payment links’ button.
‘Pay now’ pre-orders #
By default, ‘charge & capture’ pre-orders in PreProduct will direct customers straight to a pre-populated checkout at the time of pre-ordering.
The nice thing about this is that customers are forced to pay for the product on its own and with a dedicated shipping charge for that pre-order.
(i.e. it won’t get mixed in with ‘buy now’ orders, resulting in one shipping charge for two separate deliveries)
However, if you would prefer the ‘mixed cart’ scenario, PreProduct lets you choose whether to redirect ‘pay now’ pre-orders to cart or to checkout. A redirect to the cart will just add the pre-order items in with the customer’s existing cart contents.
(the default is ‘redirect to checkout).
