PreProduct next‑gen pre‑order

You shouldn’t have to wait until stock hits your warehouse to list your next product.

PreProduct lets brands capture pre-orders for upcoming products at any point in the new product cycle. Allowing you to sell, gauge demand and re·coup cash quicker. For 'pay later' and 'deposit' based pre-orders, payment links are only sent out when you trigger them, so you’re completely in control (and legally compliant).

Pre-order modes

Capture only - Just pre-order and customer details are captured. A ‘thank-you email' is sent at the time of pre-order.

Deposit & capture – The pre-order and customers details are captured along with their deposit. Then when the store is ready, payment link emails are sent for the remaining amount.

Charge & capture - Customers will be sent to checkout (or cart) straight away, as well as optionally receive a payment link.
