Preorders for WooCommerce free WordPress plugin
Description
Preorders for WooCommerce free WordPress plugin
An efficient system that easily translates to the specific needs of store, our plugin allows you to follow up on pre-sales in a comprehensive way.
The wait for a new product (or the return of a popular one) is a great opportunity to gain new customers or engage older ones. However, too many companies misuse this unique time until customers lose interest. Engaging is critical in the days before a product release, which is why we’ve created a plugin that covers all bases. Give customers a chance to preorder so they’ll get their new item just as it becomes available, letting you monitor each step of the way.
Here’s what you can do with the Bright Plugins WooCommerce preorder Plugin:
Manage all preorders through a specialized section on My Account.
Set up a “preorder” status for both simple and variable products.
Create an expiration date for preorder periods.
Filter all orders that include products ordered during the “preorder” phase.
Automatically turn products that are out of stock into preorders.
Make products available automatically as soon as the preorder period ends.
Prevent customers from adding preorder products when they have already-available items on their carts.
Edit single product prices during the preorder period: fixed, percentage or markup on the base price.
Apply “preorder” status to more than one product through a WordPress Bulk action grouped by tag or category.
Enable the preorder option for a variable product, in the case that every variation was previously added to the preorder status.
Notify website admins when products’ preorder periods are nearing their ends, emailing them a set amount of days before the date.
Notify users when products’ preorder periods are over and they’ve become fully available.
Our plugin supports 4 different business cases. Only case #4 is available in this free version. If you need any of the other cases, please buy a pro license.
Case #1 – Treat the whole order as a preorder
If you choose this mode, the customer will be able to select a shipping date, and all products will be shipped together at that specific day.
That day will be limited to the latest preorder date available, for instance, if the order has 3 different products marked as preorder ones:
Product A will be available on the 1st of September Product B will be available on the 3rd of September Product C will be available on the 1st of October
Then, the minimum shipping date will be the 1st of October (i.e: the minimum date when all products will be available).

Case #2 – Generate two separate orders, one for preorders and one for in-stock products
If you choose this mode, the customer will get two different orders generated, one for preorder products and one for in-stock ones. For instance, if your order looks like this:
Product A is in-stock Product B will be available on the 1st of September Product C is in-stock
Then you will get an order which will be processed now, with products A and C, and then another order which will be shipped on the 1st of September.
