If no shipping date is clearly shown, you should have a reasonable belief that the product will ship within 30 days of purchase.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pre-orders do not support some checkout methods, including Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and local payment methods such as Klarna, iDEAL\/Wero, and Sofort.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pre-orders work well for product launches, restocks, seasonal drops, made-to-order products, limited releases, and wholesale buying windows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For B2B merchants, pre-orders can help collect demand from retailers, distributors, boutiques, salons, caf\u00e9s, or dealers before production or bulk procurement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offering pre-orders on your Shopify store is a great way to increase anticipation for your upcoming product launches and a great way to book orders for current out-of-stock items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a pre-order section on your product page will not only help you take pre-orders from your customers but also help you with having sufficient funds to procure or manufacture your product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below, we will discuss everything you need to know about pre-orders on Shopify. We will cover how to set them up, what to include in your terms and conditions, tips to market your pre-order offerings, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/YDbU1yZ5c2laGAoZp4nnos5U_hxQ9LwfdRuucM0fep9GXLuWVrCalKxLEAl9hLjR4NO3gHxbOi0l6VJfn-yy08hmaSxDhD4zhNmhBLBL214XMja_Zwzmv2VcYUOM6jyk8pmgrotLxwWgIlYNPXI-FNA\" alt=\"pre-orders on shopify\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, let\u2019s begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='what-are-shopify-pre-orders'  id=\"boomdevs_1\" id=\"0-what-are-pre-orders-\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are Shopify Pre-orders?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Shopify pre-order is an order placed for an item that is not yet available for sale. When a customer places a pre-order on your store, they usually pay the product costs at the time of purchase. The product or an item is then shipped to the customer on an estimated date or as soon as it is manufactured or available in stock.<br><br>Pre-orders are commonly used for any type of product launch or out-of-stock products in your ecommerce store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='why-offer-pre-orders-on-shopify'  id=\"boomdevs_2\" id=\"1-why-offer-pre-orders-on-shopify-\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Offer Pre-orders on Shopify?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>There are several reasons you might want to offer pre-orders on Shopify for your products:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='1-to-generate-buzz'  id=\"boomdevs_3\" id=\"2-1-to-generate-buzz-\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. To generate buzz<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offering pre-orders is a great way to create excitement for your upcoming product launch. By allowing customers to reserve their products in advance, you can generate buzz and build anticipation leading up to your launch date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='2-to-manage-inventory'  id=\"boomdevs_4\" id=\"3-2-to-manage-inventory-\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. To manage inventory<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are worried about your product running out on launch day, pre-orders on Shopify can help you manage inventory. By taking pre-orders, you can get a better idea of how many products to produce and have a better chance of meeting customer demand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, if you\u2019re a <a href=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/b2b-wholesale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">B2B wholesale<\/a> distributor, then your wholesale buyers also get benefits from pre-ordering for a specific event. For example, if a toy store wants to stock Christmas gifts in their inventory before Christmas arrives, then they can pre-order these Christmas gifts at discounted rates from a wholesale supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='3-to-raise-capital'  id=\"boomdevs_5\" id=\"4-3-to-raise-capital-\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. To raise capital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Implementing pre-orders on Shopify can also help you raise funds for your business. If you are manufacturing products yourself, the upfront cost of materials can be expensive. By taking pre-orders, you can ensure that you have a sufficient amount of bank balance or capital to cover the costs of production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='how-to-set-up-pre-orders-on-a-shopify-store'  id=\"boomdevs_6\" id=\"5-how-to-set-up-pre-orders-on-shopify-store-\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to set up pre-orders on a Shopify store?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopify does not offer a complete native pre-order setup by default. To use pre-orders, Shopify says you need to install a pre-order app from the Shopify App Store and then manage pre-orders inside Shopify admin after the app is configured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='step-1-add-product-s-to-your-shopify-store'  id=\"boomdevs_7\" id=\"6-step-1-add-products-to-your-shopify-store\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Add product(s) to your Shopify store<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create the product in Shopify or open the existing product you want to offer for pre-order. Add a clear title, description, product images, variants, SKU, price, and expected availability details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the product is not physically available yet, do not describe it like a normal in-stock product. Mention that it is a pre-order and include the estimated shipping or delivery window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='step-2-install-a-3rd-party-pre-order-helper-app-from-shopify-app-store'  id=\"boomdevs_8\" id=\"7-step-2-install-a-3rd-party-pre-order-app-from-shopify-app-store\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.shopify.com\/pre-order-helper?utm_source=wsh-blog&amp;utm_medium=poh&amp;utm_campaign=poh-app\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/apps.shopify.com\/pre-order-helper?utm_source=wsh-blog&amp;utm_medium=poh&amp;utm_campaign=poh-app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Install a 3rd-party Pre-Order Helper app from Shopify App Store<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-11.05.27-AM-1024x486.png\" alt=\"pre order helper app on the shopify app store to take pre orders on shopfiy\" class=\"wp-image-5957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-11.05.27-AM-1024x486.png 1024w, https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-11.05.27-AM-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-11.05.27-AM-768x364.png 768w, https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-11.05.27-AM-1536x728.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 id='step-3-setup-pre-order-on-shopify-using-pre-order-helper'  id=\"boomdevs_9\" id=\"8-step-3-setup-pre-order-on-shopify-using-pre-order-helper\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Setup Pre-order on Shopify using Pre-Order Helper<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Set up Pre-Orders with Pre-Order Helper\" width=\"770\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TNHaXnaT3eg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Video: How to set up pre-orders on Shopify<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This video includes information on:<\/strong><br>1.

Here are these instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You should specify the estimated delivery or shipping date of the product.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If no date is specified, you should make sure and tell your customers that the pre-ordered product will be shipped after 30 days of purchase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you cannot ship the product within 30 days, you should contact the customer with revised shipping instructions and a reason for the same.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can\u2019t offer your customers accelerated checkouts or payment options for pre-orders via Google Pay, Apple Pay, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You cannot allow your customers to purchase product subscriptions if you\u2019re selling them as pre-orders.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='things-you-should-include-in-pre-order-terms-and-conditions'  id=\"boomdevs_11\" id=\"10-things-you-should-include-in-pre-order-terms-and-conditions-\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Things you should include in Pre-order Terms and Conditions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When offering pre-orders on a Shopify store, it is important to include all relevant information in your terms and conditions. This includes the estimated shipping date, refund policies, and any other relevant details. By including this information upfront, you can avoid any confusion or issues down the road (for yourself and your customers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a few things you may want to include in your pre-order terms and conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id='1-estimated-delivery-date'  id=\"boomdevs_12\" id=\"11-1-estimated-delivery-date-\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.
