Pre-Orders for WooCommerce helps store owners sell products before they are available by adding a dedicated On preorder<\/code> stock status to WooCommerce products and variations.<\/p>\n\n

Use it to show preorder availability dates, replace the add-to-cart button with a preorder button, display preorder information across product pages, carts, checkout, orders, and emails, and notify customers when preorder items become available.<\/p>\n\n

The plugin is built for stores that need a simple WooCommerce preorder workflow without turning every product into a complex reservation system.<\/p>\n\n
