YITH Pre-Order for WooCommerce Premium

YITH Pre-Order for WooCommerce Premium helps shops manage advance sales for upcoming or temporarily unavailable products. Set availability dates and present a pre-order action in place of the regular purchase action. The button label can be customized.

Set pre-order access and terms

Choose products individually or enable pre-order mode automatically for unavailable or out-of-stock products. For an out-of-stock product to be available for pre-order, set a stock quantity. You can hide pre-order prices from unregistered customers and limit access to selected visitors or visitor roles.

• Set a pre-order price or offer a discount for clients who order before release.
• Add an extra fee to orders containing a pre-order product.
• Offer free shipping on products purchased in pre-order mode.

Choose when customers pay

Customers can use the Pay Later option at checkout to pay when the product becomes available. With a supported payment gateway, the product price can instead be charged automatically to the customer’s card upon release. The listed payment behavior also includes charging when a pre-order is placed, so verify which timing applies to your configuration before opening pre-orders.

Keep customers and administrators informed

Administrators can receive notices when pre-order mode is enabled for an unavailable product and when a release date is approaching. Customers can receive a message if the release date changes and reminders about pending payment.

Configure a pre-order

1. Select the products for pre-order mode, or enable it automatically for unavailable products.
2. Set the availability date and configure the pre-order price or payment behavior.
3. Choose whether only particular users or roles can place pre-orders.
4. Configure any extra fee, free-shipping rule, and customer payment option.
5. Review administrator and customer notifications before making the product available for pre-order.

Installation and setup

WooCommerce must be active for the plugin to work. Install and activate YITH Pre-Order for WooCommerce Premium, then configure its pre-order options for the products you want to sell in advance. If you plan to charge cards automatically upon release, check that your payment gateway is supported.
