Dedicated Stripe Pre-Order Functionality
Seamless Integration with Stripe
Oversee pre-orders within a dedicated system connected to Stripe. PreProduct creates orders, checkouts, shipping rates, tax rates and products in your Stripe account. By compartmentalising pre-orders, you can eliminate the risk of premature processing or fulfilment.
When you’re ready to fulfil pre-orders, simply trigger charges from PreProduct and/or fulfilment to collect payment and prepare for delivery.
“The app does what it says. In our case it enables us to start selling and test the popularity of different variants so we can make important decisions with design and product add-ons before we start production. PreProduct is a great app that is highly recommended for anyone who wants to get the sales going before product is ready to ship. Customer service is top notch.”

Stripe Pre-orders FAQ
While Stripe doesn’t offer native pre-order functionality, as of 2024 they recommend taking customer payment card details upfront and charging once you’re ready to ship. PreProduct does this for you by capturing the customer’s payment method at checkout for future use (safely vaulted in Stripe).
Can I offer pre-orders with Stripe?
Stripe supports transactions regardless of inventory levels when used with PreProduct. This allows you to take pre-orders for out-of-stock items, ensuring your store can capture sales even when the inventory is zero or negative.
How do I handle products that have an inventory of 0 with Stripe?
To use your own buttons with PreProduct, you’ll just need to add two data-attributes to your regular add-to-cart buttons (part of onboarding if desired). PreProduct will then hijack the button and use it for pre-orders whenever there’s an active pre-order listing.
How do I set up a pre-order button with Stripe?
Communication is key for pre-orders. With PreProduct, you can send out update emails to inform customers of any changes at any point. They can also access their dedicated pre-order portal anytime to check for real-time information and product availability dates.
What happens if there’s a change in the expected release date of a pre-ordered item?
PreProduct integrates directly with Stripe, so no additional plugins are required. However, you will need an account with Stripe.
Do I need any other tools or plugins installed for this functionality?
Yes! With PreProduct, you can manage bulk listings for pre-orders efficiently. Use our bulk lister or listing manager automation to create listings, and utilize PreProduct’s templates feature to update and sync groups of listings.
Can I bulk list pre-orders with Stripe?
PreProduct offers the option to charge either upfront or later for pre-orders, allowing you to charge customers when ready (deposits also supported). This provides flexibility in managing when and how payments are processed.
