Shopify Flow toolkit for pre-orders

Pre-orders touch many parts of your Shopify setup, from theme, inventory, through to storefront, checkout and then order management and fulfilment. At PreProduct, we endeavour to build useful features and automations to address this.

That said, many stores have specific third-party providers or flows that need bespoke treatment. Below is a library of Shopify Flow templates for helping you do just that. All of these are tested by the PreProduct team and available to use for free.

QUESTIONS

FAQ

Something else? Email hello@preproduct.io

01 Do I need Shopify Plus?

No, but HTTP request actions are Plus only.

02 Do I need PreProduct for every template?

No: the native Flow ones are marked, and read PreProduct’s _preorder property, which you can swap for your own.

03 Can I edit a template after installing it?

Yes. Once installed it’s a normal workflow in your Shopify Flow, so you can add conditions, change actions or turn it off at any time.

04 Will the templates work with my 3PL or ERP?

Yes, if your 3PL or ERP reads Shopify order tags. Start with “Tag pre-orders the way your ERP or 3PL expects”, then rename the tag to whatever your system already filters on.

Are you a 3PL, ERP or WMS provider?

We’d love .flow file contributions that make pre-orders work better on your platform.
