WooCommerce Pre-Orders

WooCommerce Pre-Orders – Sell Products Before They Launch

With WooCommerce Pre-Orders, you can allow customers to order products before they’re officially released. Whether you’re launching a new product, running limited-time drops, or building anticipation for future releases, this extension gives you full control over the pre-order process—automatically or manually.

🔑 Key Features:

• Set Release Date & Time
  Schedule a specific launch date/time for pre-order products to go live automatically.

• Automatic or Manual Order Charging
  Choose to charge customers either upfront or automatically when the product becomes available—no customer action required (with supported gateways).

• Flexible Payment Options
  Pre-orders can be charged immediately or at the time of release, depending on your preferred strategy and payment gateway support.

• Email Notifications
  Automatically send emails to customers when a pre-order product is released, delayed, or canceled.

• Full Control Over Pre-Order Status
  Manage pre-orders from a dedicated admin dashboard—delay, complete, cancel, or communicate with customers easily.

• Supports Simple & Variable Products
  Works with all standard WooCommerce product types, including variable products with different release options.

• Customizable Pre-Order Messaging
  Customize “Add to Cart” or “Place Order” button text and display countdowns with built-in shortcodes and styling options.

• Smart Order Filtering
  Easily view and manage all pre-orders using a custom “Pre-Order” order status filter in your WooCommerce orders list.

🛒 Easy to Manage, Seamless for Customers

Customers can pre-order upcoming items with confidence, knowing exactly when the product will be available. You control how and when payment is taken, and WooCommerce handles everything from email notifications to order status updates.

For gateways that support automatic payments (like Stripe), customers are billed on release without lifting a finger. If not, they’ll receive a prompt to complete their purchase when the product becomes available.
