Magento 2 Pre Order

Magento 2 Pre Order Extension allows merchants to sell products before they are available. Customers can place orders for upcoming, pre-launch, or out-of-stock items without waiting for inventory to arrive.

The extension supports registered customers and guest users. It works with simple, configurable, grouped, bundle, virtual, and downloadable products. Admins can choose from full payment, partial payment, or pay-on-release options. This gives shoppers more flexibility while helping merchants secure sales early.

Magento 2 Inventory Reservation Extension enables customers to reserve products by paying a full or partial amount in advance, allowing merchants to secure sales and fulfill orders as soon as the products are back in stock or become available.

Adobe Commerce Back Order Extension enables backorders when all available pre-order quantities have been sold out, allowing store owners to continue accepting additional customer orders beyond the pre-order limit.

Additionally, the module includes a notification feature that sends an automated email directly to the customer's inbox. Customers receive updates for pre-order confirmations, availability date changes, product releases, payment reminders, back-in-stock alerts, restock notifications, and order cancellations.

Apart from that, if you want customers to receive an email notification when an out-of-stock product becomes in stock, then you can check Magento 2 Out of Stock Notification.

Important Note -

• Partial payment info is visible on the product page and the cart page only when the admin enables partial payments from the configurations.
• For the configurable, bundle, and grouped products admin needs to add its associate product in the preorder state.
• All product types and MSI-compatible modules 3.0.0 will not show old preorder version data. If you purchase any previous version, it will not be compatible with all types of products and MSI.

The customers can add pre-order products and non-pre-order products to the single cart successfully. After adding the product to the shopping cart, the customer can see the following details about the pre-order:

• Type - The type can be preordered as the product.
• Payment Type - The preorder type can be partial or full payment for preordering the product.

 Completing Pre Order

The admin can view all pre-orders placed by customers along with complete order details. The module also allows the admin to select multiple orders and send email notifications in bulk.

• The admin can easily identify pre-orders and regular orders using the Order Type column.
• The global order list includes an Order Type filter to display only pre-order orders.

Note - If an invoice is not generated for a pre-order, the customer will not receive the Product Availability notification. Therefore, the admin must create the invoice after receiving the pre-order payment.
