See every featureWhen a product is about to sell out, PreOrder Guard lets you keep selling against the shipment already on its way. It suggests a preorder cap from your own sales history and the incoming quantity, holding back a buffer for supplier delays. Sales do not stop at the cap: you turn the preorder off yourself. Preorders run on Shopify's native purchase options, so nothing is written to your theme.
PreOrder Me helps you launch and manage product pre-orders in your Shopify store. Add a customizable pre-order button to product pages, tailor button text and customer messages, and set quantity limits for each product. Manage pre-orders for individual variants or enable them across multiple products at once.
