What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants say this app is easy to set up and works reliably for pre-orders and backorders at product and variant level, helping avoid lost sales when items are out of stock. They like the free core features, customization of buttons and text to match themes, and quick storefront performance. Support is frequently praised as fast and hands-on, often resolving setup and design issues within minutes via live chat.

Very intuitive and easy to install and configure. Had a little problem with showing the widget in the product page but then I reached out the app support and it got good within minutes. Very helpful and efficient support! Thumbs up!

This is by far the easiest preorder app to set up and configure that we've used. As a nonprofit Bible Society selling Bibles and outreach materials, we appreciate that it's free and the developers are quick and generous with their support.

If I could give it ten stars, I would!

I used this app to create a preorder item and Alex was incredibly helpful with answering my questions and guiding me through fixes to ensure everything was working properly! My only suggestion is it would be nice if the app could limit the amount of preorders to what we know we'll have in stock so we don't over sell our incoming supply.

First off, this app is FREE. I've browsed so many preorder apps and they want to charge monthly AND an additional fee when you sell a preorder. I downloaded the Kaktus app and had an issue (on my part, not theirs) and customer service was so quick to help and respond. They helped customize a few things for me so my preorder button would work. I haven't fully used the app yet as far as receiving orders so I can't touch upon that however so far everything other than that is working and the dashboard/edit options are really easy to navigate/self-explanatory. If you have any questions or need help they are great to work with!

tengan cuidado porque despues de desinstalar la app te siguen cobrando suscripcion. la coloque en mi tienda de lentes de sol solo por unos dias y luego la desinstale y tengo cobros de suscripcion.

Be careful because after uninstalling the app, they still charge you a subscription fee. I only used it in my sunglasses store for a few days, then uninstalled it, and I'm still charged a subscription fee.

Cette app est facile à configurer, j'ai suivi pas à pas les explications, j'ai vérifié si tout marchait correctement, et voilà! C'est une excellente app. pour permettre aux clients de précommander un article en rupture de stock en préréglant un acompte. Merci à Kaktus pour pour la rendre gratuite et aussi performante!

I been using the app just for a day but everything works perfect. I had a small issue with the Pre Sale button but I chatted with Vitalii and he resolved all my questions and issues very fast. The only thing that is and issue for me, is that there is no option to not sell when the products run out of stock and I have diferent limits to each variation, but it is manageable. Over all is a great app!
