Why do we need CS-Cart Pre Order?

By offering pre order options, stores can capitalize on customer demand and generate revenue before the products are officially available. CS-Cart Pre Order boosts customer satisfaction and provides valuable insights for product popularity and inventory management.

Additionally, the ability to customize pre order settings, such as pricing and duration, allows stores to tailor the pre order process according to their specific needs.

Great customer service and support
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.
