Preorder Pro
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.
Planned PRO features
Section titled “Planned PRO features”- Partial payments / deposits - let shoppers pay a deposit now and the balance on release.
- Per-variation pre-orders - flag specific variations as pre-orders rather than the whole product.
- Automatic release emails - notify pre-order customers when their product is released.
Requirements
Section titled “Requirements”- WordPress 6.5 or later
- PHP 8.1 or later
- WooCommerce 8.0 or later
- The free Preorder plugin, version 0.1.0 or later, installed and active
