Essential Preorder & Presale

This app is so useful and saves a lot of my time!

I sell US comics on my Shopify store in Indonesia, and using this app is a must for setting up preorders (which can amount to thousands of new titles each month). The app's customizable features is very useful in providing expectation for customers when a certain title will be released.

5 stars for the developers!

If there's one drawback, is that I'd like to find a way to remove the Preorder Campaign from the individual product's page, without opening the app page itself.

This app is fantastic! It has a simple and super easy setup. It does exactly what you need it to do, making it ideal for new product launches or when you run out of stock but plan to restock soon.

The email notification feature is excellent, ensuring that customers are never confused about product availability.

“A true blessing for small faith-based businesses like ours.”

Essential Preorder has simplified and strengthened the way we manage preorder campaigns across our store. The ability to customize messaging and notify customers with clarity and kindness has helped us stay transparent while creating a meaningful ordering experience.

We’ve tested multiple apps—and this is by far the best free app we’ve found that actually works. Most free tiers are frustratingly limited and break under real use, but Essential Preorder delivers with smooth functionality and thoughtful features, even at no cost.

As a business grounded in purpose and prayer, we appreciate tools that support stewardship without complicating the process. The app’s intuitive setup and reliable notifications allow us to serve our customers well—especially when curating products that hold deep spiritual value.

Highly recommended to anyone wanting to walk in excellence, even with limited stock or supplier delays.

I've been using Essential apps for a while and now my entire site runs on all different ones. The fact that they're free is amazing for small stores, and to me a no brainer if you're starting out. Once I scale, I will make sure to scale them too!

Also, Samuel (and others ive been in touch with) are SO friendly, fast and professional. I was stuck with custom CSS for an element and within 1 hour all was set and done. Incredible. Cannot recommend this app enough!!

The experience has been great! As a business that distrbutes international brands product, the Essestial Preorder app truly is a life saver for my business to inform customers that the products are preorder. Plus, the app is also easy to navigate which makes listing a preorder product much easier. Thank you to the Essential Apps team for the support and assistance.

Easy step by step tutorial on how to set up preorders. Makes it very simple to follow especially for people like me who are not to savvy with these sort of things

This application is perfectly functional, I've just tested it on a pre-order campaign and everything works very well! Easy to use and efficient

Works good as expected, it's even a little bit better because of the extra features like: auto-mail updates with cancel-order options for customer!

easy to use and setup within minutes! I've never had such an easy app and especially for pre-orders. I came to shopify from etsy, and was shocked that I couldnt find a very good pre-order app that was affordable let alone really worked well and was simple to use. THIS IS IT!!!! Thank you for existing Essential Preorder & Presale! I will use this app forever as my business does pre-orders for every restock once a quarter!

it has worked well so far sometimes when stock is updated its does sometime take sometime to change back from the Pre-order button but it has generally been useful and allowed me to still make sells and manage my new stock its generally very helpful and I've used other software that are just nowhere near as easy accessible as this application or work aswell.
