Pre-Orders Modes

#1-Treat the whole order as a preorder :

If you choose this mode, the customer will be able to select a shipping date, and all products will be shipped together on that specific day. That day will be limited to the latest preorder date available, for instance, if the order has 3 different products marked as preorder ones:

• Product A will be available on the 1st of September
• Product B will be available on the 3rd of September
• Product C will be available on the 1st of October

Then, the minimum shipping date will be the 1st of October (i.e: the minimum date when all products will be available).

#2 Generate two separate orders, one for preorders and one for in-stock products :

If you choose this mode, the customer will get two different orders generated, one for preorder products and one for in-stock ones. For instance, if your order looks like this:

• Product A is in-stock
• Product B will be available on the 1st of September
• Product C is in-stock

Then you will get an order which will be processed now, with products A and C, and then another order which will be shipped on the 1st of Septemb

#3 – Generate separate orders for each preorder products :

If you choose this mode, then the customer will get one order for all in-stock products, and then one order for each preorder product, which will be shipped in each specific preorder date.

#4 – Order only preorder products or available one

Use this mode if you want to only allow your customers to either choose preorder products or available ones.
