WordPress WooCommerce Pre Order Plugin gives WooCommerce store owners a structured way to accept orders for products that are not yet ready for regular sale. Instead of waiting until new inventory arrives, you can configure selected products as available for pre-order and provide customers with information about expected availability. Pre-orders can be useful for new product launches, upcoming collections, limited releases, seasonal products, restocks, backorders, and products being prepared for future availability. By collecting customer orders in advance, businesses can gain useful insight into demand and plan inventory and fulfillment more effectively.

A traditional WooCommerce store usually requires products to be available before customers can purchase them. A pre-order system changes that workflow by allowing selected products to be offered before their expected release or restocking date.
With the WordPress WooCommerce Pre Order Plugin, store administrators can configure eligible products as pre-order items and provide customers with relevant availability information.
This can be useful when you already know that inventory is coming but do not want to wait until the stock physically arrives before beginning the sales process.
Launching a new product often requires preparation before the official release date.
A pre-order page can allow customers to reserve upcoming products while giving the business additional information about customer interest.
Typical examples include:
New electronics
Upcoming clothing collections
Seasonal products
Limited-edition merchandise
New accessories
Special product releases
Upcoming stock arrivals
The exact payment and fulfillment behavior should be configured according to your business model and the capabilities provided by the plugin version.
Availability dates help customers understand when they can expect a pre-ordered product to become available.
For each supported pre-order product, you can configure the relevant date information and communicate it through the storefront.
For example:
Product: New Wireless Speaker
Pre-Order Status: Available for Pre-Order
Expected Availability: November 15
Providing this information can make the purchasing process clearer and help customers make an informed decision before placing a pre-order.
Some businesses use the same price for pre-orders and regular purchases, while others may offer a special introductory price.
Where supported by the plugin's configuration, you can define pricing behavior for pre-order products.
