Why do you need pre order option in Magento 2 store?

The business cycle in ecommerce is changing quickly and continuously. Store owners need to be a step ahead of events and predict customers’ needs and demands in order to keep the webshop running profitably and successfully.

By adding pre order and backorder options to your Magento 2 store you achieve two goals at once: show that you care about the clients and gather valuable data on customers’ preferences, desires and welfare.

How Magento 2 pre-orders work for the customer?

Clearly indicate the products that are available for pre order

Present pre-order notes as a unique custom stock status

Pre order of a certain item in a configurable product

Pre orders on the shopping cart

Pre order note on the checkout and NEW payment preview

Show webstore track backorders in the customer account

IMPORTANT!

Customers are charged only once per purchase. Magento 2 stores demand payments when a backorder or a pre order is placed; the extension doesn’t change this functionality.

Advanced admin options

Edit pre order cart buttons and notes in bulk

You can significantly simplify your work by editing text in pre order cart buttons and notes via mass action.

Pre order of configurable, grouped and bundle products

Allow customers to pre order configurable, grouped and bundle products. Notice that only out of stock configuration will be marked as pre order; all the other product combinations can be sold normally. If one of the items in a bundle or a group is currently available only for pre order, customer will see the corresponding notification.

Easily identify items ordered in advance on the order info page

A note that an item has been pre ordered is also highlighted on the order information page. It ensures that store admins always will be aware of a current order status.

Specify pre order notes and warning messages

Stick a pre order warning to the products that are not in stock at the moment. The notes will be displayed on product pages and pinned to the order information in the Orders tab of a customer account. You can use variables like {sku} or {delivery_date} to make notes more informative. Specify the output place of pre-order warning using selectors.
NEW | Using variables in the warning message, display product name and pre order product quantity in the shopping cart.

Use mass actions to edit pre order notes

Use custom text instead of the 'Add to Cart' button

Equip your web store with custom pre order or backorder buttons instead of a regular add-to-cart button. Pre order buttons are displayed both on category and product pages.

Quickly find pre orders on the grid with a handy filter

Pre Order column added to the Order grid allows rapid sorting and editing your store pre orders. This option can dramatically increase productivity of all admin users. They won’t need to look through the whole list of placed orders to find out which items have been pre ordered.

Automatically add a pre-order note to transactional emails

What benefits do you get with the extension?

Manage products and stock with ease, allow customers to book products they need even when they are not available at the moment of purchase. Great set of new business options with the help of one module.

It's great

Adam Symonds

Over 50% of our orders are pre-orders - it has allowed us to list a huge range of products which aren't in stock yet. It helps us to gauge what final quantities to purchase in. The pre-order plugin would be better if there was also a way of sorting the pre-orders by SKU. We accumulate a HUGE number of pre-orders and because the stock doesn't all come in at the same time, processing them takes a long time because we have to find which orders contain the items which are now coming into stock. Support is fast for sure.

Reliable, convenient, no cons

Eva D.

I use this module to market upcoming products. It is very convenient and easy to start working with. I wish you also allowed setting a preorder period. That would make this extension even better.

Good extension

Robert

I guess sooner or later, if you want to grow online sales, you start looking for such extensions. So did I. The module is intuitive, has strong functionality and is mobile friendly. As always, some minor issues happen from time to time, but they fix it quickly enough to keep on using.

five stars services

Melissa

I'm an owner of a small jewellery shop, and I am not a technical specialist. I needed this extension, because basically I make items only after they are ordered. So this extension made it more clear for my visitors that I am going to start working on a piece after the item is ordered.
I bought installation services, and a friendly guy named Kiril installed the extension for me within a couple of hours, and patiently answered my simple questions. I was also impressed with the user guide which really helps if you're not a power Magento user.
Overall, I am very impressed by the detailed product description, support services, and of course the extension is working as advertised. Thanks for the quality.
