Preorder Pro is the premium edition for Preorder. It is an add-on that requires the free Preorder plugin installed and active; it is distributed through Freemius (licensing, activation and automatic updates), not the WordPress.org directory.
Preorder Pro extends the free plugin’s service container with premium features; it does not work on its own. If the free plugin is missing, deactivated, or older than the required version, Preorder Pro stays dormant and shows an admin notice instead of booting.
Shipping PRO features
Section titled “Shipping PRO features”- Pre-order incentive discount — reward early buyers by applying a configurable percentage discount to every pre-order line in the cart. Enable it and set the percentage under WooCommerce → Pre-order Discount. The discount appears as a clear negative fee at cart and checkout, and only applies to pre-order lines.
- Partial payment deposit — charge a configurable deposit percentage on pre-order lines at checkout. The balance due on release appears as a negative cart fee and is stored on the order for fulfilment. Configure under WooCommerce → Pre-order Deposit.
- Per-variation pre-orders — flag specific variations as pre-orders on the Variations tab via
PerVariationPreorder, with optional per-variation release dates that override the parent product date. - Automatic release emails — queue pre-order lines that have a release date and email customers when that date arrives via
