PreProduct lets you set where to redirect customers to when they pre-order, as well as whether pre-order and buy-now items can be purchased in the same order.

Redirect options in PreProduct #

You can find this section in PreProduct’s ‘setup’ screen under “Front-end redirects.”

Redirect to cart (mixed with buy-nows) #

Lets customers add multiple pre-order products to cart, as well buy-now items.

This can be a good option if your fulfilment processes can handle mixed orders (pre-order/buy-now items) and you’re happy to fulfil buy-now items at the same time as pre-order items (or pay shipping fees for two shipments)

Redirect to checkout (isolate pre-orders) #

You will need to add a storefront token, to enable this redirect.

This will force redirect customers to checkout when they pre-order; meaning they can only checkout variants of one product in any pre-order.

This is beneficial if you have several pre-order products arriving at different times. Force redirecting to checkout, will also stop buy-now and pre-order items mixing. Meaning you can ensure shipping is charged for the pre-order delivery.

Redirect to cart (isolate pre-orders) #

You will need to add a storefront token, to enable this redirect.

Lets customers add multiple pre-order products to cart, but not buy-now items. This can be the best of the above two options; letting you take orders containing many different pre-order items, but avoiding the headache of mixed buy-now/pre-order orders.

When this configuration is chosen, PreProduct will generate a special pre-order area in your store’s cart page like below. By default the area to load within will be guessed, but you can also specify an area by adding data-native-cart-pre-order-cta-container to a HTML tag.
