Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureWhile setting the correct expectations with your customers regarding when will they get their order. You can enable Preorders for specific products/variants, Collections or All Products. You can also conditionally enable/disable preorders based on whether something is in stock or out of stock or if you have incoming inventory.
SweetRelease gives you control over when preorders ship. When a customer preorders, the app automatically holds that order at a gated location that can't fulfill, so it can't ship early. Held orders appear in a queue where your team can set priority and release them to your live warehouse individually or in bulk.
