WPC Pre-Orders for WooCommerce (Premium)

Stores often want to gather orders ahead of a launch, whether for a new gadget, a limited edition item or a seasonal product. This plugin adds pre-ordering to WooCommerce so shoppers can secure a product before it is available, and you can see demand turn into confirmed orders that help with inventory planning.

You decide how each pre-order works. Accept a partial payment or the full amount upfront, set start and end dates for the pre-order period, and turn pre-orders on for single products only. Automatic emails keep customers informed from the moment they order until the product is ready, which cuts down on manual messages. Pre-orders are tracked in the WooCommerce dashboard alongside your other orders.

Features

• Partial and full payments: Choose whether customers pay part of the amount or the full amount upfront, so the pre-order setup can match your business model and what your shoppers prefer.
• Custom pre-order periods: Set specific start and end dates for each pre-order, which gives you control over launch timelines and how long customers can reserve a product.
• Automatic email notifications: Customers receive emails at each stage, from a successful pre-order placement to the moment the product becomes available, without you sending anything by hand.
• Per-product control: Turn pre-orders on or off for individual products, so only the items you choose are sold ahead of launch while the rest of the catalog stays as it is.
• Pre-order status labels: Clear messages appear on product pages so shoppers can see that an item is available for pre-order before they add it to the cart.
• Order tracking in WooCommerce: Monitor and manage every pre-order from your WooCommerce dashboard, which keeps fulfillment and reporting in the same place as your regular orders.
• Works with payment gateways: Use your preferred payment processors to handle pre-order transactions, so you do not need to change how your store already takes payments.
• Hooks and filters for developers: Developers can extend and customize the plugin through hooks and filters, which helps when a store needs behavior beyond the default options.
