Essential Preorder × VO Product Options: Does it work? How to set it up

Quick Answer: ✅ Works
What this means: You can take pre‑orders and deposits. Just don’t use the VO setting that replaces the Add to cart button.

Setup in 5 quick steps

1. Install VO Product Options and add your fields.

2. Place the VO block inside the normal product form.

3. In VO, keep “replace add‑to‑cart” off.

4. In Essential Preorder & Presale, create a preorder campaign and add your products.

5. Save and plan to test the full cart page if you use a cart drawer.

Quick test (2 minutes)

1. Product → choose options → Pre‑order.

2. Cart → you should see Pre‑order + your options.

3. Start checkout → info still there.

4. (Optional) Place a test order and check Shopify → Orders.

If something doesn’t work

• Button missing: Turn off VO’s “replace add‑to‑cart” or move the block.

• Options missing: Keep the block inside the product form; try the full cart page.

FAQ

• Conditional logic? Supported.

• Cart drawer? Often fine; test the full cart if info drops.

• Multi‑currency? Works: check how deposit/balance show.
