Start capturing revenue before your product is ready to ship.<\/p>\n\n Whether you're launching a new product line, running a made-to-order business, or building hype around a limited release, this plugin gives your store a complete, professional pre-order system.<\/p>\n\n \ud83d\udd17 Plugin Website<\/a><\/strong> | Documentation<\/a><\/strong> | Support<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pre-Order Any Product<\/strong>\nEnable pre-orders on simple, variable, composite, bundle, and booking products with a single checkbox. Customers see a customizable \"Pre-order now\" button and an availability message.<\/p>\n\n Release Date & Countdown<\/strong>\nSet an optional availability date and time. WP-Cron processes pre-orders after the release date: paid physical orders move to Processing, eligible virtual orders to Completed, and unpaid orders request payment. Scheduled processing depends on WordPress cron running.<\/p>\n\n Product pages display a countdown automatically for future release dates. Configure its visibility, heading, and seconds under WooCommerce > Settings > Pre-Orders > Product countdown.<\/p>\n\n Use the Two Payment Models<\/strong>\n- Upfront (pay now):<\/strong> Full payment collected at checkout. Order stays \"Pre-ordered\" until the release date.\n- Upon release (pay later):<\/strong> No charge at checkout. On release, customers receive a payment link by email. Automatic charging requires a gateway integration that implements this plugin's pre-order payment hooks; saving a card alone does not enable automatic charging.<\/p>\n\n Optional Pre-Order Fee<\/strong>\nAdd an extra charge on top of the product price (e.g., a reservation fee). It appears as a separate line item in the cart.<\/p>\n\n Six Email Notifications<\/strong>\nAll emails are configurable from WooCommerce \u2192 Settings \u2192 Emails:\n- New Pre-Order (admin)\n- Pre-Ordered Confirmation (customer)\n- Pre-Order Available \/ Released (customer)\n- Pre-Order Cancelled (customer + admin)\n- Pre-Order Date Changed (customer)<\/p>\n\n My Account \u2014 Pre-Orders Tab<\/strong>\nCustomers can view and cancel their pre-orders from the standard WooCommerce My Account area.<\/p>\n\n WooCommerce Blocks Compatible<\/strong>\nSupports Cart and Checkout Blocks, block-based product pages, and the compatible WooCommerce product editor.<\/p>\n\n HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) Compatible<\/strong>\nFully declared and tested with WooCommerce's custom order tables.<\/p>\n\n WooCommerce Subscriptions Compatible<\/strong>\nPre-order subscription products. No charge at checkout \u2014 the subscription starts and the first payment is collected on the release date. Requires WooCommerce Subscriptions 6.2.0+.<\/p>\n\n Translation Ready<\/strong>\nAll strings use the Upgrade to NextXen Pre-Order Manager for WooCommerce Premium<\/strong> for advanced tools that serious store owners need:<\/p>\n\n \ud83d\udd12 Deposit \/ Partial Payments<\/strong>\nFor upfront pre-orders, collect a fixed-amount or percentage deposit at checkout. On release, a follow-up order requests the remaining balance by email. Fulfillment stays on hold until that balance is paid. Deposit amounts appear in the order screen and CSV export.<\/p>\n\n \ud83d\udd12 Quantity Limit Per Product<\/strong>\nCap the total number of pre-orders accepted. Shows a \"Only X slots remaining!\" urgency notice when running low. Automatically closes pre-orders when the cap is hit \u2014 even under concurrent traffic.<\/p>\n\n \ud83d\udd12 Admin Dashboard Widget<\/strong>\nStatistics cached for five minutes on your WordPress dashboard: active pre-order count, revenue, new\/completed\/cancelled this month, and a list of upcoming releases in the next 30 days.<\/p>\n\n \ud83d\udd12 CSV Export<\/strong>\nOne-click export of all pre-order data (Order ID, Status, Customer, Product, Release Date, Payment Type, Deposit, Balance, Total, Date Created).
