Description
ERPNext Website Pre-Order lets businesses sell products even when they are out of stock or running low. Customers can place pre-orders straight from the website, and businesses can manage everything from ERPNext.
Pre-orders can be switched on for specific products only. Businesses can apply one set of global settings to all products or use different rules for individual products whenever they need to. Customers can pre-order products that are not currently available and add more than one pre-order item to the same cart at the same time. Businesses can also set a minimum and maximum order quantity for every pre-order product.
At the time of pre-order, businesses can choose to collect the full payment or just a partial advance payment. A different pre-order price can also be set for each product based on what the business needs.
Managing pre-orders from ERPNext is simple. Businesses can see every pre-order, confirm or cancel it, and keep it connected to the related Sales Order for easy tracking.
When a pre-ordered product comes back in stock, customers can get a notification right away. This saves them from having to keep checking the website again and again.
The module is a great fit for businesses that launch new products, sell popular items that go out of stock fast, or want to start taking orders before stock arrives. It helps bring in more sales and keeps the pre-order process easy and smooth for both businesses and customers.

Why Do We Need This Module?
Products can run out of stock, but customers may still want to order them. Without a pre-order system, businesses lose those sales because customers have no way to order unavailable products.
A standard ERPNext webshop does not have a full pre-order process. Businesses cannot control pre-order quantities, collect advance payments, or set up pre-order rules for specific products using the default system.
ERPNext Website Pre-Order fixes this by letting businesses accept pre-orders for selected products, collect full or partial payments, manage pre-order settings, and track all pre-orders from ERPNext. Customers can also get a notification when their pre-ordered product is back in stock.
The module helps businesses keep taking orders even when products are not available, while giving customers a simple and reliable way to pre-order.
A good pre-order process means happier customers and fewer missed sales for the business.
Use Cases
New Product Launch
A business can start taking orders for a new product before it is available. Once the product is ready, all confirmed pre-orders can be fulfilled right away.
High-Demand Product Restocking
A store can keep taking orders for popular products even after they run out of stock. This stops sales from being lost while the product is being restocked.
Seasonal Product Sales
A business can collect pre-orders for seasonal products before they arrive in stock. This helps the business understand how much customer demand to expect in advance.
Limited Edition Product Release
A business can accept pre-orders for limited edition products and collect full or partial payments before the products are actually available to ship.
