Magento 2 Pre Order: How to Enable Pre Orders for Out-of-Stock & Upcoming Products
Published: Updated:
About this post
- Enabling pre-orders lets customers reserve upcoming or out-of-stock products, helping merchants generate early revenue, gauge real product demand, reduce inventory risk, and build anticipation for new launches or limited editions.
- Since Magento 2 lacks native pre-order functionality, the Magento 2 Pre Order Extension by FME Extensions provides essential features like replacing the Add to Cart button, enabling pre-orders for specific products or the entire catalog, offering early-bird discounts, countdown timers, and automated post-restock purchases.
- The extension allows merchants to clearly display availability dates, manage cancellations, and customize pre-order messages, giving customers transparency and flexibility, which improves trust, engagement, and conversion rates.
