Link medical questionnaires to products so customers screen before purchase, and manage private prescription requests with a review queue and PDF exports. Set purchase limits and reorder cooldowns for customers. Features include NHS prescription blocks and variant rules. Easily embed forms via theme app extensions.

Launch Coming Soon products and capture demand with preorders using a powerful Pre order manager for Shopify stores. Add a Notify Me button so customers can join waitlists and receive re stock alerts when items are back. Display a Coming Soon Counter, run high-converting pre sales, enable backorders, and customize preorder buttons, badges, and messaging to fit your brand.
