What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants say this app reliably manages pre-orders, backorders, and made‑to‑order items so they can keep selling when stock runs out. They like clear pre-order messaging with ship‑by dates across product pages, cart, checkout, and emails, plus automatic pre-order when inventory hits zero and variant-level controls. Many highlight flexible customization, solid theme integration, helpful analytics, and fast, proactive support that assists with setup, fixes conflicts, and implements requested tweaks.

Installed the app and it seemed to do it's job with a considerable amount of massaging needed. It didn't function exactly as we anticipated but the main issue was it did not uninstall cleanly. Subsequent emails to their support have gone unanswered.

I'm really pleased I downloaded this after unexpectedly running out of stock then having a delay to get new products. I've had lots of pre orders so haven't lost revenue (which I would have done otherwise) and the app is very straightforward to use.

Be very careful. When you have finished needing this service, this app tricks you into thinking you have uninstalled it, and therefore won't be charged, but doesn't make it clear that until you have actually DELETED the app, you will still be charged.

Please note that all Shopify apps will stop charging once you had uninstall the app from the Apps Settings page. We use the Shopify Charge API which strictly follows the 30-day charge. You can learn more about it here:

It is not possible to trick anyone into believing the app is uninstalled because Shopify is very strict in their audit. Besides, we had made it very clear and transparent in our FAQs on how to uninstall our app.

This is a great application with excellent customer support. Installation was not 100% straight forward but the developers were incredibly responsive with getting us running. We look forward to the ability to see all pre-order enabled items in a list.

If you have 1 product store and you run out of stock, it really suck, as your income goes down significantly. With Pre-Order manager I was able to get some sales (not as much as if I had stock, but much more than when I just couldn't sell). Bug thumb up!

This has been a great app to allow us to create pre-orders on products due out in 2016., Customer feedback has been great to allow them to place the order, make payment and then sit back until ht eitems are ready for shipment. Simple and effective all round.

Thanks to this app customers checked out without the preorder info available even though i have it enabled and it shows its enabled. Not to mention their phone browser is terrible and wont let you hit save at the bottom because their chat button is in the way

Thank you for the feedback. We had tried to contact you via email a few times to understand this issue better but there was no reply.

This app is really solid. Easy to use, straight forward and does the job it needs to. The only functionality I would love to see added is the ability to block other products from entering the cart once a Pre-Order item is in (as to avoid splitting shipments).

I love this app - it's allowed me to get almost 100 more customers that otherwise would have walked away due to stock being sold out! Woohoo! 4 years on and I'm still loving this app. The customer service is fabulous if I've ever had any troubles. Thank you :)

Settings don't save, and when we launched with pre-order option - we weren't able to convert sales because the app didn't work. We submitted many support messages and even upgraded further to the premium paying level and weren't able to resolve the issue still.
