“Great app that means you can pre-sell product without taking payment at the time. I wanted this option as I was unsure of when my product would arrive. Very simple. Customer service was very prompt and helped me sort out some initial kinks in the beginning.”

“Amazing app! It is really the best “pre-order now, pay at shipment” Shopify app for businesses that deal with pre-orders. The dev team is constantly adding new features to improve the customer experience, and our company has seen huge growth by allowing pay-later pre-orders. The dev team is also super nice and great to work with on any issues and questions.”

Dedicated WooCommerce Pre-Order Functionality
Seamless Integration with WooCommerce
Oversee pre-orders within a dedicated system connected to WooCommerce. PreProduct syncs with your WooCommerce product catalogue and storefront. By compartmentalizing pre-orders, you can eliminate the risk of premature processing or fulfillment.
When you’re ready to fulfil pre-orders, simply trigger any outstanding charges and push orders to WooCommerce. From here, your existing shipping and fulfilment flows will kick in like normal.
“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.”

WooCommerce Pre-orders FAQ
Yes, with a plugin or app like PreProduct, you can offer pre-orders on your WooCommerce store. PreProduct integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce, allowing you to take pre-orders and manage payments flexibly.
Can I offer WooCommerce pre-orders?
If you want to track inventory and take sales for out-of-stock SKUs, PreProduct allows you to hold orders externally, ensuring that you can manage pre-orders without affecting your current stock levels.
How do I sell products that have an inventory of 0 in WooCommerce?
To set up a pre-order button with WooCommerce, simply add the necessary attributes to your add-to-cart buttons (or contact our support team to do it for you). PreProduct will hijack these buttons to use for pre-orders whenever there’s an active listing.
How do I set up a pre-order button with WooCommerce?
Absolutely, PreProduct lets you redirect to a special pre-order cart where multiple pre-order items can be added. Even if they’re different kinds of pre-order.
Can I add multiple pre-order products to the cart
PreProduct doesn’t push orders into your WooCommerce orders admin until you trigger charges/fulfilment from within the app.
How does inventory management work with PreProduct on WooCommerce?
Communication is key for pre-orders. With PreProduct, you can send update emails to inform customers of any changes. Customers 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 is designed to work seamlessly with WooCommerce without needing any additional app installations. However, you will need an account with a supporting payment provider e.g Stripe.
Do I need any other tools or plugins installed for this functionality?
Yes! With PreProduct, you can manage bulk listings effectively, whether it’s product releases or out-of-stock items. You can either use our bulk lister or listing manager automation to create the listings automatically, then use PreProduct’s templates feature to update and sync groups of listings.
Can I bulk list pre-orders for WooCommerce?
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.
Do pre-orders take money immediately?
Yes, our WooCommerce pre-order system lets you take pre-orders without a fixed shipping date. You can notify your customers before they’re charged/mid-campaign when you have a definite shipping date.
However, we recommend being transparent before customers purchase in your pre-sale, making sure to customize front-end wording via the PreProduct app, so that customers know the complete terms of purchase.
Can I still offer a pre-order if I’m not sure when my product will ship?
Yes, the discount is ‘locked in’ to previous individual orders, future orders will pay according to the new one.
Can I change my discount?
Absolutely. Should any changes arise in your supply chain, you can update the estimated shipping statement in PreProduct. It’s then up to you whether you’d like to communicate these changes via an email update or just rely on the customer portal being updated.
Changes to pre-order shipping statements mid-campaign are quite common, we would just recommend using charge-later or partial payment pre-orders if you think the shipping times could blow out (as customers could be less forgiving if they pay the full amount upfront).
