PreProduct has 4 types of pre-orders. Capture only pre-orders, charge later pre-orders, deposit upfront pre-orders, charge upfront pre-orders. They are all explained in detail below.
Shopify capture only pre-orders involve the ‘buy now’ or ‘add to cart’ button being swapped out for a ‘pre-order’ button. The difference with this method is that pre-orders are kept solely in PreProduct until you are ready to collect payment. When you are ready to collect payment, you can send out payment links to customers, which will allow them to finalise their pre-order through your online store.
Pros:
Cons:
Just like ‘capture only’ pre-orders, however, the customer goes through checkout at the time of pre-order and agrees to a deferred charge. Shopify will then ‘vault’ this card and charge it once the merchant triggers the deferred charge.
Deposit pre-orders allows you to charge a portion of the transaction up-front, securing the pre-order for both you and the customer.
Payment is processed straight away at checkout when you use this method of pre-order, exactly like a normal customer order. The ‘buy now’ or ‘add to cart’ button will change to say ‘pre-order’ and additional information will be displayed explaining the longer than usual delivery time.
