You turn on pre-orders
Mark the product as pre-order and set the estimated delivery date and, if you want, the available cap.
With pre-orders, your customers reserve and pay in full before the goods arrive. You ship once you have them — with an estimated date, caps per variant and everything inside the same order. No deposits, no spreadsheets and without touching your real stock.
Instead of risking capital on goods that might not sell, let your customers tell you how much they want — with paid, confirmed orders. Pre-orders turn your next season, import or launch into real sales before the first pallet even arrives.
Four steps. No spreadsheet, no separate checkout, no orders split by hand.
Mark the product as pre-order and set the estimated delivery date and, if you want, the available cap.
They reserve their spot and pay the full price, like any purchase. They see the estimated date the whole way.
You already know exactly how much you ordered and for whom. No guessing quantities: demand is already confirmed and paid.
With one click you move lines from "held" to "released" and the order enters picking. All at once or in parts, whenever you want.
Set a cap on the incoming batch and the store won't sell a single unit more. Perfect when you import or manufacture a closed run.
Pre-orders confuse no one. At every step the store shows that the product is reserved today and delivered later — with the date in plain sight.
See all your pre-orders by delivery date, with status at a glance so you're never late:
When the goods arrive, you release and the order enters picking:
Release everything or just some lines. Shipping for the released part is added without recalculating the total already paid.
Reservations live in their own ledger, apart from real inventory. Your available stock and your ERP syncs keep showing what you actually have in the warehouse.
The customer pays 100% on reservation. You collect upfront and fund your purchase with a sale already made — no deposits or balances to chase.
The date the customer sees is stored on each order line, even if you later change the product's date.
Call it "Pre-order", "Reserve", "SS26 drop" or whatever you want — per product or store-wide.
Schedule from and until when pre-orders are taken. Outside that window, the product returns to its normal state on its own.
At checkout you charge shipping for what leaves now. Pre-order freight is added only when you release it for dispatch.
Confirmation with the pre-order lines and their date, and a "Pre-order ready" notice when the order is ready to ship.
Assign the incoming batch size by size or color by color. Each variant has its own limit and its own "left" count.
Pre-order is just another product state, built into your v2 store. No apps, no parallel checkout, nothing weird to set up.
Get paid before you buy, measure real demand and ship when the goods are ready — with your customers always in the loop.
