Amai PreOrder Manager + Notify

Exactly what we were looking for! Since most of our products are handmade soaps or made to order, we needed to be able to provide a way for customers to place pre orders, and be notified of when the item would be expected to ship. This app has solved the problem. I highly recommend this app for anyone who accepts pre orders or custom made to order products. It was very easy to set up and get started. A+++

UPDATED: this is a good app that gets the job done. I've had a few bugs over the years but the support team was always available to find a fix. I've considered uninstalling a few times (because of the unexpected bugs) but in the end I always felt taken care of. It's very important to have a friendly and knowledgeable support team ready to step in when needed. So I'm updating my review to 5 stars. Let's keep it up, SpurIT!

As other reviewers have said, I'm also using this primarily for backorders instead of true pre-orders, but it helps immensely. Being able to cap the number of orders taken is exactly what we need to manage our stock and keep selling when items are almost back in stock but not quite there yet.

When I've had questions or issues with the app the support has been great, I recommend it highly if you need this functionality in your shop.

I am really struggling with this app - it's not counting down the stock so has the potential to oversell so can't not roll it out to all my 'coming soon' products. HELP is really nice but despite giving them access to my site, I am a week further on and still haven't got a solution - just a 1 line response from their development team which doesn't help. I am massively disappointed as this gets such great reviews and I had high hopes for it.

Do not install! Worst experience with an app since years! Now their support even messed up our live theme. It looks like the relaunch of that app is a complete fail. Settings are messed up (e.g. T&C showing up even though not activated), we get a popup about limitation even though this is disabled. All in all a very disappointing situation. Now losing money with this app since 6 days. Support seems to be overloaded... maybe this reads somebody from the management finally?

Stellar. This app is key in our import and distribution operation as we have multiple warehouses worldwide. By using "Pre-Order" as a back-order enabler, we're able to accept orders for inbound products on an ongoing basis, even if the stock is not readily available. The built-in messages and tooltips help us align expectations with our customers and reduce support calls.
Other than that the app support is incredible - always going the extra mile to make sure we're happy!

I tried this application and I want to say that it is not suitable for a store that sells relevant goods, since it prescribes the same tags for the product. Moreover, I could not uninstall the application, according to the instructions, since it is not complete. I contacted the support service. They work very slowly. And they reported that they uninstalled the program, but that was not so. Hence the conclusion: your business can suffer greatly if you try to use this program. Do not risk it.

Well I think a lot of people said it's great app. It's great app.

If you have custom template: We had not standard template (if you have standard template it will be very easy to implement) and after we contacted Developer they where able to configure it for us quickly. Since this app if free they asked for small fee. It's totally fine with us because this app worth every penny for sure.

We plan to use Pre-Order when we are out of Stock or for New Products.
Love this app and Thank you again.

Great app! There are very few plug-ins that support Pre-Orders on Shopify. When your a new business, launching great new products, sometimes you are waiting for the next batch of inventory to arrive. There is no flexibility with the normal Shopify features, so Pre-Order Manager helps you quickly setup and communicate to your customers that they are pre-ordering and when they can expect their product to ship. So far its the best solution I've seen and works as advertised. I recommend to anyone launching new products!

What makes a great Shopify app, isn't just the functionality (which this app has) but also the support. We've been using Pre-Order Manager for quite a while, and the thing that has kept us has been the customer service. SpurIT cares about their users and responds very quickly.

The app is great, helps manage appearance of your sales button and helps communicate preorder lead times to customers. The lite version works fine for a simple clothing brand like ours - and the full pro version looks meaty enough to take on bigger stores too.

Great work, guys
