Precision Scheduling & "TBA" Support

Take control of your release schedule by setting exact availability dates and times using an intuitive calendar picker. Don’t have a confirmed date yet? Use the “To Be Announced” (TBA) status to capture orders immediately while keeping your customers’ expectations managed.

Build Hype with Countdown Timers

Create a sense of urgency and excitement for your upcoming releases. Choose from three highly customizable countdown timer styles (Simple, Boxes, or Circular) to visually display exactly when a product will become available directly on the single product page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I automatically sell out-of-stock items as pre-orders in WooCommerce?

Yes! The Smart Pre-Order Manager for WooCommerce includes a powerful global setting that automatically converts any out-of-stock inventory into pre-orders. This ensures you never lose a sale due to low inventory. The “Add to Cart” button automatically changes to “Pre-Order,” and customers are informed that the item will ship at a later date.

Absolutely. You have complete flexibility to enable pre-orders at the variation level. For example, if you sell a shirt, you can set the “Blue – Large” variation as a pre-order while keeping the “Red – Small” variation as a standard in-stock purchase. The plugin handles inventory and pricing for each variation independently.

Yes, our plugin fully supports “mixed carts.” Your customers can easily add both standard in-stock products and upcoming pre-order items to their cart in a single transaction. It is also fully compatible with the new WooCommerce Cart and Checkout Blocks, ensuring a seamless checkout experience.

The Smart Pre-Order Manager features a built-in automated email system. You don’t have to send messages manually. The plugin will automatically send “Order Confirmation” emails, “Availability Reminders” a few days before launch, and a final “Ready to Ship” notification as soon as the product release date arrives and inventory is updated.

Yes, offering incentives is one of the best ways to boost upfront sales. You can easily apply percentage-based or fixed-amount discounts specifically for pre-orders. You can also display eye-catching “Save $X” badges to highlight the deal. Once the pre-order date passes and the product launches, the price automatically reverts to your regular retail price.
