Good plugin works well with Elementor Pro. Supports custom template builder with ACF Fields which is very productive in creative development with less coding. Thanks to the development team.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pre-Orders
Find answers to common questions about the Pre-Order module and learn how to maximize its revenue-generating potential.
How do pre-orders work for customers?
From the customer perspective, pre-ordering works similarly to regular purchasing with a few key differences. When a customer pre-orders a product, they complete the checkout process and make payment as usual, but receive clear messaging about the product’s future availability date. The pre-order button (which you can customize) replaces the standard “Add to Cart” button, and availability information is prominently displayed. Customers can see countdown timers to release dates and receive confirmation that their order is secured for when the product becomes available.
Can I set different prices for pre-order products?
Yes, the Pre-Order module offers flexible pricing options. You can offer products at their regular price, provide special pre-order discounts to incentivize early purchases, or even charge a premium for guaranteed early access. The module allows you to set specific amounts or percentage adjustments from regular pricing. These pricing options can be configured individually for each product, giving you complete control over your pre-order strategy.
When are customers charged for pre-orders?
Customers are charged at the time of placing their pre-order, which helps secure their commitment while providing you with advance revenue. This immediate payment model helps you gauge genuine interest in upcoming products while improving cash flow before inventory arrival. You can customize all messaging to ensure customers clearly understand they’re making an immediate payment for a future product.
How are pre-orders handled once the product becomes available?
The Pre-Order module automatically manages status transitions. When the availability date arrives, pre-orders are automatically converted to regular orders in your system, ready for fulfillment. This streamlines your workflow and ensures that pre-ordered items are properly tracked and fulfilled when inventory becomes available. Order management remains straightforward with all pre-orders clearly marked in your admin dashboard.
Can I enable pre-orders for only certain products?
Absolutely. The Pre-Order module is designed to be applied selectively to specific products that you choose. You can enable pre-orders for upcoming products while maintaining regular purchasing for in-stock items. This product-by-product configuration gives you maximum flexibility to manage your inventory and sales strategy according to your specific business needs.
How does the countdown timer work?
The countdown timer is an optional feature that displays the time remaining until the product becomes available. It creates a sense of anticipation and helps customers visualize when they’ll receive their items. You can customize the labels for days, hours, minutes, and seconds to match your branding. The timer automatically updates in real-time and can significantly enhance the pre-order experience by building excitement for product releases.
