Here’s what you can do with the Bright Plugin’s WooCommerce Pre-order Plugin:

• Manage all pre-orders through a specialized section: Pre-orders
• Set up a “pre-order” status for both simple and variable products.
• Create an expiration date for pre-order periods.
• Filter all orders that include products ordered during the “pre-order” phase.
• Make products available automatically as soon as the pre-order period ends.
• Prevent customers from adding pre-order 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.
• Enable the pre-order option for a variable product in the case that every variation was previously added to the preorder status.
• Notify users when products’ preorder periods are over, and they’ve become fully available.
• Notify website admins when products’ preorder periods are nearing their end, emailing them a set number of days before the date.
• Apply “pre-order” status to more than one product through a WordPress Bulk action grouped by category.

Why Use a Pre-order Strategy?

Too often, companies fail to take advantage of customers’ expectations when releasing a new product. If you already have a prototype you can take pictures of, you can start promoting the offerings and pre-sell. By adding pre-orders to your site, you can:

Build a hype campaign that keeps customers interested in what’s coming.

Watch as sales soar even before you’ve released the product.

Put products on sale before they’re available.

Inform customers the second item become available.

Offer discounts to people who pre-order.

Pre-order Modes

Right now we have 4 different pre-ordering modes in our plugin. Here are the cases that our plugin currently handles:

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.

Case #3 – Generate separate orders for each preorder products

If you choose this mode, then the customer will get one order for all in-stock products, and then one order for each pre-order product which will be shipped on each specific pre-order date.

Case #4 – Allow only preorders

Use this mode if you want to only allow your customers to either choose preorder products or available ones.
