How it sells itself

Turn out-of-stock products into revenue without the risk of overselling. Holdline enforces pre-order limits natively through Shopify checkout — no fragile scripts, no leftover code. Tag orders instantly for warehouse/3PL fulfillment, and get alerted the moment stock is back so you can end pre-orders in one click. Isolated virtual inventory keeps your real warehouse counts untouched.

Stop missing out on further sales & revenue! Have better control over your preorders! Use our in-built pre-order button, or use your existing one. This app can handle your mixed carts, by separating pre-order and regular orders in the same purchase! Offer at checkout to have pre-order and regular items shipped separately, or wait and combine everything for cheaper shipping.

Key points
  • Enforces strict pre-order limits natively through Shopify checkout.
  • Clean OS 2.0 Theme Block that integrates seamlessly with no ghost code.
  • Dual-shield order tagging for seamless warehouse and 3PL fulfillment routing.
  • Detects restocked inventory, switch back to regular sales with 1 click.
  • Increase revenue by collecting pre-orders for out-of-stock items
  • Ship pre-order & regular orders separately, or combine for cheaper shipping
  • Re-route your pre-orders to a different warehouse
  • Charge customers immediately or defer payment until item is fulfilled

Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
