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.

This app has a pretty big flaw that needs to be addressed. Basically it won't change the button to a "preorder button" if the user has a non-preorder button in their cache. In layman's terms, if the customer has viewed ANY other product pages (with their respective buy buttons) before going to a preorder page, they won't see the preorder button or button notification information because the normal "add-to-cart" button is still in their cache. So the app only works if the customer hasn't viewed any other products first, which is a fairly common thing. Spur-it only offers one solution which is, and I'm not joking here, "Just let your customers know to clear their cache" Yea, sure, let me just tell each customer to clear their cache before looking at a preorder item. Heck, the main reason for having a preorder Button is that customers don't read jack & squat, and need to be informed at the point of purchase, so this bug undermines the entire purpose of the app. It needs to be fixed before I can recommend this app to anyone because customers get REAL angry if they buy something and it doesn't show up when they expect it (which will happen if the button doesn't switch to a pre-order button and they assume it's just being added to their cart.)

The customer service team was responsive and listened to my complaint and says they plan to address this eventually, but until the app itself is fixed, I cannot endorse it. I hope one day to return and switch this to a 5 star review.

You should have an option to pay a deposit for non stock pre order items and pay the balance when the item is ready to ship.

I need an app that allows us to collect a deposit up front and the balance due when we are ready to fulfill the order. This app doesn't do that.

Be very careful about installing this app. It directly edits your theme files and injects an older version of jQuery. It can break your site entirely without warning.

So far so good. We had 2 glitches trying to install initially on our site the first week with product variants, but their customer support fixed the issues right away. We are currently processing orders successfully as both a pre-order and back-order function for a variety of our mens grooming products!

Love this app! It is so helpful to figure out demand for your sold out products and notifying customers who are on your waiting list.

This was the perfect solution to allow us to offer products for sale not regularly kept in stock. Customer service is fast and excellent.
