Introduction to Pre-order campaign

Hello store owners!

This article will guide you on how to set up a Preorder campaign for both out-of-stock and available products

1. How to set it up?



In this instruction article, we will use this example of setting up a Preorder campaign for an out-of-stock product

Step 1: Choose "Create campaign"



You can create a Preorder campaign by clicking on the "Create campaign" button on the Home page or Campaign page of our app

Case 1: Home page



Case 2: Campaign page



Step 2: Fill in campaign name on the "Campaign name" card





The name of campaign will not be shown in the storefront, but it's used to manage your campaign list. Try to make it different for each campaign

Step 3: Choose products that will be applied Preorder



Please enable "Continue selling when out-of-stock" in product admin to allow customers place preorders

This is where you select the products you want to apply preorder logic. You can choose:

Select specific products

Select specific collections

Select by quantity

In case you want to filter product by quantity to choose products faster, our app can help you select by quantity with 2 options : "Equal to" and "Lower than". This filter will apply for product level, not for variant level

In this example, we will create a Pre Order campaign with products whose quantity is lower than 10



You can set up a limited quantity that each buyer can preorder and please enter 0 for unlimited



Step 4: Schedule for preorder campaign (Optional)



If you don't want to inactive campaign manually, you can enable schedule preorder date and time to run campaign automatically



Step 5: Select "Payment mode" to charge your customers preorder



You can choose your desired payment mode:

Full payment: your customers will be charged the whole price when they check out

Partial payment: your customers have to pay upfront payment when they check out. The remaining payment will be charged on the date you set up. (Introduction to setting up partial payment)

In this payment mode, you can also use discounts to promote your customers by percentage or by amount

In this example, I will choose full payment with a discount of 10%



Note: Only online payment is accepted on our app.

Step 6: Set up the "Expected delivery date"



If you want to show the expected delivery date to your customers, you have to enable this card first. Then you can choose:

On a specific date: This will show an expected ship date on your storefront

As soon as possible: You will ship the item immediately when it is restocked

Unknown: If the delivery date is uncertain

In this example, I will set up shipping by a specific date on 2024-10-07



Step 7: Check the campaign summary and hit "Save"



All the information about the campaign will appear in the Summary tab. You can check it again to see if you've configured everything right. After that, hit Save to save the campaign



2. Show button and table on your storefront



Once set up, the preorder table and button will be shown on your product page, below two default buttons of your theme



By setting up Preorder campaigns, you can ensure your customers never miss out on their desired products. Happy selling!
