Sell pre-orders for products and services

Set up pre-orders in your WooCommerce store, so customers can order products before they’re available. You can automatically or manually release and fill orders when you’re ready and let the extension handle the rest! The pre-order experience is fully customizable and supports both pre-orders charged up front and upon release. If you’re using a supported payment gateway, pre-orders can be charged upon release without the customer returning and paying for their order.

Features

  • Set an optional date/time when the product will be available
  • Automatically charge orders when the product is available
  • Change the release date for a pre-ordered product
  • Email all customers who pre-ordered a product
  • Cancel pre-orders if the product is no longer available
  • Filter your pre-orders with a custom “pre-order” order status

Easy pre-order customization

Easy Pre-Order Management

Show full description

Pre-Orders can be charged in two ways, up front or upon release. When charging a pre-order up front, the customer pays the entire pre-order amount during the initial checkout. When charging a pre-order upon release, the customer’s payment method is charged when the product is released (either by reaching the availability date, if set, or manually within the Pre-Orders admin) when using a supported gateway. If a supported gateway is not available, the customer will receive an email when the pre-order is released prompting them to come back to the store and pay for their pre-order. All pre-orders can be managed through a dedicated page. From here the admin can delay, complete, cancel, or email selected pre-orders, or use the actions section to perform the same actions for all pre-orders for given product.

Automatically Charge Pre-Orders Upon Release

When you use one of the supported payment gateways, you can automatically charge your customer’s payment method when the pre-order is available. All gateways support manual payments for pre-orders, where the customer is sent an email asking them to come back and pay for their pre-order when it’s released.

Fixed
  • Improved handling of pre-order release payments, so a pre-order that has already been paid is not charged again.
  • A pre-order that is skipped during the Complete action is now recorded in an order note and reported as skipped on the Manage Pre-Orders screen.
Other
  • Dev - Add the wc_pre_orders_release_payment_charged action so payment gateways can discard the payment token they stored for an order once its release payment has been taken.
  • Dev - A pre-order with a recorded release payment can no longer be changed to completed, and is no longer returned to active by an order status change. The wc_pre_orders_allow_duplicate_release_payment and wc_pre_orders_auto_update_pre_order_status filters restore the previous behavior.
  • Dev - Add a GitHub Actions workflow that runs the PHPUnit unit test suite on pull requests.
  • Dev - Add GitHub Actions workflows to run QIT against WooCommerce pre-releases, manually and on a weekly schedule.
