  • This is simple, slick, and does exactly what I hoped that it would. You can offer preorders on products only once they sell out, or have them turned on all the time (give the customer a discount if they choose preorder instead of buy now, etc.).

  • Essential Preorder works perfect for our store and, I believe, for similar businesses, where there are many product that are temporarily out of stock but available for backorder. Recommend it 100%!
