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. Payment links are only sent out when you trigger them, so you’re completely in control (and legally compliant).

Pre-order stages:

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

'Charge & capture' - When ready, the store triggers payment links, so previously captured pre-orders receive a payment link email and future pre-orders receive one straight away (as well as being sent to checkout at time of pre-order).

'Not-a-pre-order' - Eventually the pre-order is ended, so it can be a standard ‘buy it now’ Shopify listing.
