Pre-order for products
Thanks to the Pre-order feature, you can allow customers to purchase products in your e-shop that will be available for sale in the future. For products whose sale starts later, information about the availability date will be displayed:
Pre-order information will also appear in the order summary sent to the customer's email next to the product name.
Products available for pre-order are exported to product comparison tools with the sale start date.
Orders containing pre-ordered products can be tagged in the administration using Order Tags.
How to Set a Product for Pre-order
If you want to set a product as a pre-order item, simply go to the product detail in the administration and set the Availability date in the Warehouse tab:
Notice:
If you set both fields (from and to) in the Availability section, the product will not be displayed before the set "from" date, and opening its page will show a 404 error page. To make the pre-order work and ensure the product is visible, the product must have a status that allows it to be displayed, and only the "from" date should be set in the Availability field.
