What is a Pre-Order plugin for WooCommerce?

Our Preorders for WooCommerce plugin is an efficient system that easily translates to the specific needs of the store, our plugin allows you to follow up on pre-sales in a comprehensive way.

What can WooCommerce Pre-orders do for your store?

Allowing WooCommerce Pre-orders in your store is a great opportunity to gain new customers or engage older ones. Engaging with your customers is critical before a product release, which is why we’ve created a plugin that covers all bases. Give customers a chance to pre-order so they’ll get their new item just as it becomes available.

This plugin is the lite version of the Pre-Orders for WooCommerce Pro plugin. It is packed with several features, but Pro allows for several different types of pre-order buying scenarios.

🌟 Pre-Orders for WooCommerce Free Version Features:

  • Customize the “Add to Cart” button text.
  • Set up a “pre-order” status for both simple and variable products.
  • Choose a date when the pre-order product will be available.
  • Make products available automatically as soon as the pre-order period ends.
  • Prevent customers from adding pre-order products when they have already-available items on their carts.
  • Notify users when products’ pre-order periods are over and they’ve become fully available.
  • Case #4 is available in this free version

🌟 Pre-Orders for WooCommerce Pro Version Features 🌟

Our pro version includes all the current features in the free version but allows for some additional cases during the order process and features that may be beneficial for store owners.

  • Manage all pre-orders through a specialized section: Pre-Orders
  • Edit single product prices during the preorder period: fixed, percentage, or markup on the base price.
  • Email Notification for users when products’ Pre-Order periods are over, and they’ve become fully available.
  • Notify website admins when products’ Pre-Order periods are nearing their end, emailing them a set number of days before the date.
  • Apply “pre-order” status to more than one product through a WordPress Bulk action grouped by category.
  • Change Product Stock When Pre-order date Expired
  • Filter all orders that include products ordered during the “pre-order” phase.
  • Change existing Pre-Order Date and status using the bulk selection
  • Pay Later for Pre-orders
  • Fixed Payment Gateways for Pre-Orders
  • Unify Shipping Costs
  • Pre-Order Transition Status
  • Add Custom Message for Pre-order Products
  • Set Pre-order Date When The Order Placed
  • Pre-defined Email Templates
  • Pre-Order Badge

Case #1 – Treat the whole order as a pre-order.
If you choose this mode, the customer will be able to select a shipping date, and all products will be shipped together on that specific day.

That day will be limited to the latest pre-order date available, for instance, if the order has 3 different products marked as pre-order ones:

Product A will be available on the 1st of September
Product B will be available on the 3rd of September
Product C will be available on the 1st of October

Then, the minimum shipping date will be the 1st of October (i.e: the minimum date when all products will be available).

Case #2 – Generate two separate orders, one for pre-orders and one for in-stock products.
If you choose this mode, the customer will get two different orders generated, one for pre-order products and one for in-stock ones. For instance, if your order looks like this:

Product A is in-stock
Product B will be available on the 1st of September
Product C is in-stock

Then you will get an order which will be processed now, with products A and C, and then another order which will be shipped on the 1st of September.

Case #3 – Generate separate orders for each pre-order product.
If you choose this mode, then the customer will get one order for all in-stock products, and then one order for each pre-order product which will be shipped on each specific pre-order date.

Case #4 – Allow only pre-orders.
Use this mode if you want to only allow your customers to either choose pre-order products or available ones.

In the search field type “Preorders for WooCommerce” then click “Search Plugins.” Once you’ve found us, you can view details about it such as the point release, rating, and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by! Click “Install Now,” and WordPress will take it from there.

Manual installation

Manual installation method requires downloading the WooCommerce Pre Orders plugin and uploading it to your web server via your favorite FTP application. The WordPress codex contains instructions on how to do this here.

Automatic updates should work smoothly, but we still recommend you back up your site.

I chose to use this plug-in by purchasing the PRO version and after a few months everything seemed to work without problems. Then the disaster: orders that canceled themselves, pre-orders that returned waiting for payment after weeks and then were canceled (all documented by the system logs), a lot of angry customers and €1000 of damage done to my business.I wrote to support countless times and even though I paid for the pro version, it took them 2 weeks on average to respond and was never able to resolve the problems. A plug-in that wants to do too much and badly.

Simple pre-order plugin that works well. Customer support is excellent.

Great plugin if you want to have preorder dates for products. I recently chatted with the support team and they were helpful enough to give me the right hooks for displaying the preorder dates.
