Frequently asked questions
Does it require WooCommerce?
Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active, and Preorder operates on WooCommerce products. The plugin declares WooCommerce as a required plugin and runs no pre-order logic when WooCommerce is inactive.
What happens when a product is marked as a pre-order?
The product stays purchasable even when its stock status is out of stock, and the add-to-cart button label changes to the pre-order text. A note on the product page tells the shopper the item is reserved as a pre-order. The cart line and the order line item are flagged with a "Pre-order: Yes" meta value for fulfilment.
Can I pause pre-orders without editing every product?
Yes. Turn off the global toggle under WooCommerce → Pre-orders and every flagged product immediately behaves like a normal product until you turn it back on. You do not need to un-flag pre-order products one by one.
Does it work with variable products?
The pre-order flag and button label apply at the product level, set in Product data → General. Cart and order line flagging applies to any item added from a product marked as a pre-order, including its variations.
Does Preorder create database tables?
No. Preorder stores the pre-order flag as product meta, the line flag as order item meta, and global settings as a single WordPress option. Uninstalling the plugin removes its settings option.
Does Preorder pair with Reorder and Proof?
Yes. Each plugin works at a different stage of the store: Preorder sells before availability, Reorder adds repeat ordering, and Proof shows sales notifications. They run independently and can be used together.
