What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants use this app to keep sales going when items are out of stock with both preorders and back‑in‑stock alerts. They like clear preorder timing on product pages, flexible per‑product or store‑wide settings, and support for in‑stock and preorder on the same listing. Many praise its easy setup, strong customization, reliable performance, fair pricing, and fast, proactive support that quickly fixes theme and compatibility issues.

So far it works well. It's non intrusive and you can make separate campaigns and add it to specific collections. Very handy! The only thing I've noticed is that it doesn't show up when you click details on the product and you get the small pop-up product page to add to cart or buy now, instead of preorder.

it has worked well so far sometimes when stock is updated its does sometime take sometime to change back from the Pre-order button but it has generally been useful and allowed me to still make sells and manage my new stock its generally very helpful and I've used other software that are just nowhere near as easy accessible as this application or work aswell.

This app is so useful and saves a lot of my time!

I sell US comics on my Shopify store in Indonesia, and using this app is a must for setting up preorders (which can amount to thousands of new titles each month). The app's customizable features is very useful in providing expectation for customers when a certain title will be released.

5 stars for the developers!

If there's one drawback, is that I'd like to find a way to remove the Preorder Campaign from the individual product's page, without opening the app page itself.

I was very happy to find this app as I needed to make a quick preorder item to my website. Installation and setup was very seamless, and I like that I was able to change colours so it merges with my branding. I had one question regarding limiting preorder quantities per customer and received a response from the support team within minutes. From what I can see, it's a very new app so in fairness many essentials have already been covered. I look forward to future developments and will definitely recommend it to others who need this function.

So fare the application work great and offers great option that I could do with other pre order app.

Only down side is that there is no translation so fare. Hopefully it will change with time

I'm very pleased with how quick and easy this was to set up for a pre-launch...
This will be my first real attempt at a crowdfunding so I will update my experience as the campaign progresses..

Although I sell art craft designs etc, I'm very pedantic with which apps I use that oversell their service (and cut corners that affect Lighthouse Web Vitals) and I have high respect for Essential Apps with how they've built this service entirely in-house with the Shopify Admin panel succeeding in where many other apps fail (even with external hosting of their own services)

Makes the fact that my products are available on a pre-order only basis unmissable. I've not had much time to investigate yet, but I'd love the ability to set products as "coming soon" too with this app.

easy to use and setup within minutes! I've never had such an easy app and especially for pre-orders. I came to shopify from etsy, and was shocked that I couldnt find a very good pre-order app that was affordable let alone really worked well and was simple to use. THIS IS IT!!!! Thank you for existing Essential Preorder & Presale! I will use this app forever as my business does pre-orders for every restock once a quarter!

So far, this app is great! It has helped improve the confusion my customers seem to have with out of stock/special order items and is saving me extra work- no more adding Preorder to the titles and placing false inventory counts! Only flaw is that the collections do not automatically update so we manually need to add the items in the app or when creating a new product

So far this app is great. The setup is a little clunky, and I'd like to just be able to tag a product preorder or something like that, but for free I will certainly accept this very minor shortcoming.
