Upload the `precart` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress. 3. Go to **PreCart > Settings** to configure the plugin. 4. Enable pre-orders for individual products from the product edit page. ## ČPP ### How do I enable pre-orders for a product? Navigate to your product edit screen in WooCommerce, click the **Pre-Order** tab in the Product Data section, check “Enable Pre-Order”, then set a release date. You can also enable preorder for all products from **PreCart > Settings**. ### What is stock-based preorder / backorder? Stock-based preorder (new in version 0.7) automatically turns on preorder mode when a product runs out of stock. You can set this per-product or globally. No need to manually check a box — it just works. You can also set a backorder limit to control how many preorders are accepted while out of stock. ### Can I set a limit on how many preorders are accepted? Yes! You can set a **Pre-Order Limit** per product for date-based preorders, and a separate **Backorder Limit** for stock-based preorders. Set to 0 for unlimited. ### Does this work with out-of-stock products? Yes. With the stock-based preorder feature (0.7+), out-of-stock products automatically become available for preorder. The “Pre-Order Now” button replaces the “Out of Stock” message, and customers can checkout normally. ### Can I collect payments for pre-orders immediately? Yes, you can collect payments for pre-orders immediately. A ‘pay later’ option is planned for a future version. ### Does this work with my theme or other plugins? Compatible with all WooCommerce-supported themes and most payment gateways. Not compatible with block-based cart/checkout (classic cart/checkout is fully supported). ### How are pre-orders tracked in inventory? Pre-orders are tracked with separate counters from regular stock. Date-based preorders use `_precart_pre_order_count`, and stock-based backorders use `_precart_backorder_count`. ### Can I enable preorder for all products at once? Yes. Go to **PreCart > Settings > General Settings** and toggle “Enable Pre-Order” on, then set a global release date. ### What happens when an order is cancelled? Preorder and backorder counts are automatically decremented when an order is cancelled or refunded, so your limits always reflect actual pending demand. ## Recenzije ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ff99fe9673dc2cc90838d8246a020ce9876c8ed00b4cd51536c86a8837cd9059? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-14286/)󠁿 [fxman1](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fxman1/) 12.

Maja 2026. 1 reply It did exactly what i needed, changes the Add to Cart to a Pre-order button and displays our “ship after” date. It does add a custom shipping status which we didn't need, we have a fulfillment house that only pulls our “processing” orders because we sell a mix of physical and virtual products. we were able to write a function to automatically move the order status and everything worked exactly like we needed it to.it does add a pre-order banner that conflicted with our sale banner (we're running a sale during our pre-sales period) but we hid it with some simple CSS. I had everything working the way I wanted to in less than 15 minutes. Make sure you actually set your Pre-Order Limit. It defaults to 0 which I assumed was no limit, but when I placed my second test order it said the sale limit was reached, so I just set it to a ridiculously high number.
