Backorder and pre-order management is \u2064a\u200c crucial \u2062part of most e-commerce stores. When products come in limited quantities, or they\u2019re \u200cnot available yet,\u2063 it\u2019s important to be able to manage these orders properly.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, WooCommerce offers a few ways you can set up and manage backorders and pre-orders with limited availability. Here\u2019s what you need to know. <\/p>\n
WooCommerce provides a built-in option for setting up back \u2063orders and pre-orders. To get started, navigate to the back-order or pre-order\u2063 settings page in the \u200csettings tab\u2062 of the \u2062WooCommerce dashboard. \u200d <\/p>\n
When editing the global settings, you can decide\u200d how customers can pay for back orders \u2063and pre-orders \u2013 whether they will be charged upfront or at the\u200b time of shipping. \u200dYou\u2019ll also be able to \u2063set \u2063the default availability status for pre-orders and back orders. \u200c <\/p>\n
Once\u2064 you\u2019ve set up the global settings for back\u2064 orders and pre-orders, you\u2019ll need to manually configure each product or variation\u2062 for back orders\u2064 and pre-orders.\u2064 <\/p>\n
When you\u2019re creating \u2063a new product in WooCommerce, you\u2019ll need to set the \u201cavailability\u201d option.\u2063 You\u2064 can select \u201cBackorder\u201d or \u201cPre-Order\u201d to indicate \u200dthat these\u2063 products are \u200bavailable for purchase but limited in availability. You\u2019ll also be able to set\u2063 a \u201cavailability\u2063 date\u201d, which customers will see when they go to purchase. <\/p>\n
If you want to add\u2064 more advanced features \u200bto your back order\u200d and pre-order setup, you may want to consider adding a third-party plugin<\/a>. <\/p>\n One \u2064popular\u2064 option \u2064is\u200d the Pre-Order Extension for WooCommerce plugin<\/a>. \u200bThis plugin<\/a> adds \u200cextra features\u200b such as \u2063the \u2063ability to limit pre-orders to a specific time window, \u2063or\u200b to allow customers to pay a 50% deposit to secure a pre-order. <\/p>\n Setting up and managing product back orders and \u2062pre-orders with limited availability is a necessary part of running an e-commerce store.
