Frequently Asked Questions About Backorder Manager
Find answers to common questions about the Backorder Manager module and learn how to optimize your inventory strategy while maximizing sales.
What’s the difference between “Out of Stock” and “On Backorder”?
“Out of Stock” means customers cannot purchase a product until it’s replenished, resulting in lost sales opportunities. “On Backorder” allows customers to purchase products even when physical inventory is depleted, with a clear indication of when the item will become available. This maintains sales momentum while providing transparency about delivery timelines. With the Backorder Manager module, you can easily convert potential lost sales into secured future revenue with just a few clicks, while managing customer expectations effectively.
How do backorders help my store’s cash flow?
Backorders significantly improve cash flow in several ways. First, you collect payment upfront for products you haven’t yet purchased from suppliers, essentially using customer funds to finance inventory. Second, you can maintain lower average inventory levels without sacrificing sales, reducing warehouse costs and capital tied up in stock. Third, backorders provide accurate demand data that helps optimize your purchasing, preventing overstock situations. Many store owners report 15-20% improvements in cash flow metrics after implementing a robust backorder system.
How are customers notified about backordered items?
Customers receive clear notifications at multiple touchpoints throughout the shopping journey. On product pages, a customizable message displays the backorder status and expected availability date. In the shopping cart, backordered items are clearly marked with their anticipated availability. During checkout, customers are informed about which items in their order are on backorder and when to expect them. Additionally, order confirmation emails include backorder status and estimated availability dates. This transparency builds trust and reduces customer service inquiries.
Will this affect my existing inventory management system?
The Backorder Manager integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce’s native inventory management system, enhancing its capabilities without disrupting existing processes. It works alongside other inventory plugins and doesn’t require changes to your current setup. When backordered inventory arrives and is added to your system, products automatically transition from “On Backorder” to “In Stock” status. The module also provides valuable data that can improve your overall inventory management strategy by revealing true demand patterns beyond your current stock limitations.
How can I use backorder data to improve my business?
Backorder data provides valuable insights that aren’t available in traditional inventory systems. By analyzing which products sell even when out of stock, you can identify your truly high-demand items versus those that only sell when available. This information helps optimize purchasing decisions, pricing strategies, and marketing efforts. Many store owners discover their most passionate customers through backorder behavior and use this information to develop targeted marketing campaigns. Additionally, backorder patterns can reveal seasonal trends and help forecast demand more accurately for future inventory planning.
Can I set different backorder limits for different products?
Yes, the module offers both global and product-specific backorder controls. You can set a store-wide backorder limit as a default, then customize limits for individual products based on factors like supplier reliability, manufacturing lead times, and demand patterns. This flexibility allows you to be more aggressive with backorder limits on reliable, high-margin products while being more conservative with items that have uncertain supply chains. You can easily configure these settings from the product edit page under the Inventory tab.
