CS-Cart Pre Order Addon lets you sell products even when they are out of stock or not yet released. Customers can place advance orders instead of leaving your store, helping you capture demand early.
This addon is useful for stores with limited inventory, seasonal products, or new launches. Admins can set pricing using a fixed amount or percentage and schedule product availability with start and end dates. Customers can view expected availability, while store owners can manage orders, payments, and notifications easily.
In real ecommerce stores, advanced ordering systems help with demand analysis, inventory planning, and stock management before products arrive. This addon helps store owners capture real demand and make better decisions based on actual orders.
Additionally, for restricting payment methods, you can also check CS-Cart Payment Method Restriction addon.

Why Use a Pre Order System for Your Store?
Many online stores lose sales when products go out of stock or are not yet launched. Customers leave because they cannot place advance orders or reserve items.
By default, CS-Cart does not support booking for unavailable products. There is no simple way to manage payments, scheduling, or track customer demand.
This addon solves that problem by enabling a product reservation system. You can continue selling during low inventory and accept partial or full payments with flexible options.
It helps store owners understand customer demand and improve inventory planning based on real orders. Also, the customer can pick up their order from the store directly with the help of CS-Cart Store Pickup Shipping.

Needed a few tweaks for our purpuses. Great customer service and support they got it fixed! I had been waiting for something like this that allows customers to preorder items that are out of stock without paying for it when they checkout with products that are in stock. Sales have been booming for the out of stock items. Makes you wonder how much in sales we have lost in the past.
Nice addon, nice support!
