Buggy, did not work for us. Their AI support delays support. For this price we expected more.
We’re really sorry to hear that our app didn’t work as expected for you. That’s understandably frustrating, especially when you’re counting on it and feel the support experience didn’t match the price.
We take concerns about performance and response times seriously. We’ve reached out to you via email so we can better understand what went wrong and take a closer look at the issues you experienced.
We’d genuinely appreciate the chance to make this right and see if we can turn this around for you.

look elsewhere - WOD:PreOrder Now does not function properly. App allowed oversales on 2 pre-releases with a set sale limit, created a lot of headache and work for our customer service team. We walked through product set up with app's support team, did not stop the overselling.
We’re really sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced with overselling — we know how frustrating that can be for both your team and your customers.
I checked your conversation with our support team, and we did reply to your ticket with the next troubleshooting steps. If you’d like to continue working through the issue, please feel free to respond there; we’re absolutely happy to keep digging until everything works as expected.
To make sure we reconnect, I’m also reaching out to you directly via email.
Your feedback is important, and we’d really appreciate the chance to resolve this properly for you.
Misleading App. I decided to try the app I was subscribed to the free plan. Under the Basic Plan is show Try it Free for 14 Days. So I decided to try it for 14 days, I cancelled within 10 days and was still charged $19.95. I showed the screenshot to the app developer they said because I used it back in 2020 I am not entitled to Try it free for 14 days then why does it say TRY IT FREE FOR 14 DAYS ? When you click on the try it free no where on the Approve Subscription does it mention anything about if you have used it previously you are not entitled to another 14 days again misleading by the app developer. I thought they where just trying to win me back as a customer which many apps and companies do these days when you have had such a long period of inactivity. Secondly this is the email from Roel on 16th April, I have escalated the issue to our technical team. They usually provide an update within one business day. Once I get an update, I will let you know. its now May 5th and still haven't recieved a reply. Easier to delete and uninstall the app than deal with the team.
We're sorry to hear about your experience and completely understand your frustration. Unfortunately, the message about the 14-day free trial is controlled entirely by Shopify and we're not able to edit it, even for returning users.
We agree it can be misleading, and we sincerely apologize for the confusion it caused. We also recognize that our delayed follow-up on your support request added to your frustration, and that's on us. A member of our team will be reaching out to help address your concerns.

This was my go-to Pre Order App for years. It was a little tedious, but it worked.
The new version is a disaster. I've never experienced an update that is so completely disconnected from the original. I hate it. Totally confusing.
Starting to look for another option NOW....
I'm sorry to hear the update's been confusing. We've reached out via email and are just waiting on your approval for collaborator access so we can investigate the issues you're experiencing. We'd really like the chance to help make things clearer and address any issues.

Their customer service was extremely slow and not understanding. Their app slowed our site speed covering everything in a white box until their app fully loaded.
Hello to our friends at Taylor Joelle

After 5 years as a loyal subscriber on one of our stores this app has completely changed their pricing model to be biased against Shopify Plus stores. We have been a subscriber for $29 a month, but when we wanted to add this app to all of our other stores we discovered pricing has now changed to $99/mo. When we reached out to them they offered the additional stores for $59/mo and refused to match the existing price citing a pathetic excuse of overhead costs. It's a software app.... where we are self service. It does not cost anything extra to have an extra subscriber to a software.
$99/mo is an overcharge of an app for our secondary lower performing sites and it's infuriating when apps think that just because a site is Shopify Plus store that they should base their pricing on this. Pricing should be based on usage not based on which Shopify plan we have.
We have since switched to one of the other pre-order apps in protest to this new pricing model. It's unfortunate they chose $0 revenues instead of supporting an existing loyal customer of 5 years that was simply looking to spend more.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. I understand you do not see the value for your new store at our current price point. That is certainly a concern for us, and something we want to address as an organization. We would love to discuss this, as well as other options to resolve this problem, with you on a call if you are open to it.

I reached out to support twice and never heard from them. App crashed and will not allow users to add the product to cart. I would not recommend you work with this app.
Thanks for taking the time to post this honest review. I'm truly sorry about the poor experience you've had with our app. I know we've lost your trust, but we've still reached out to you by direct email to see if there's anything we can do to improve and hopefully fix the situation.

Quite disappointed with this app. I loved it at the start but for the past 3 months it's been sending my customers emails that their order contained a preordered product when it doesn't. So it has created a lot of confusion. I have contacted support 4 times and then I don't receive a response and they close the ticket. I then have to open another ticket and the same issue happened. Unfortunately I will have to look for an alternative application as I am not getting help to solve the issue.
Hello there,
This is Robert, Ops manager for Preorder Now app.
We are so sorry about this. We definitely don't want to get you through this.
However, it appears that you were having trouble with receiving all our emails. We've been sending emails ever since you've had this issue to date.
Would you be able to check your spam/bulk folder?
Email us at support@websiteondemand.ca. We respond to every ticket within an hour.
Sincerely,
Robert
I have now been using this app for a few years. When it works its a good app. However, it is a ticking bomb.
I just noticed that all out of a sudden normal available products were shown as preorder products whereas products that have stock below zero were shown as available.
What is even wore, the mixed cart pop that was triggering on every page reload, was supposed to be fixed after i have submitted a ticket. I just realized that it is not fixed and customers had to close the pop up on every page reload.
This plugin did more harm than good. Please look out for a more stable plugin, as this plugin will cost you a lot of money......
Hello and thank you so much for raising this problem here. I am very sorry that this happened!
There could be a handful of causes for this (including the settings on your side in the app), but the only way we can help is if you take a moment to email us. Please do that? preorder-now@websiteondemand.ca
We'd LOVE the chance to resolve this for you asap! We can fix this. Thanks ahead of time...
