Setting Up Discount Types
You can offer discounts on preorders using two options: Percentage and Fixed Amount. Each type works a bit differently: Additionally, using custom settings within your pre-order app does not impact the compatibility of applying these discounts, allowing more flexibility in your configurations.
Percentage Discount applies a percentage off the product price. This is ideal if you want a consistent discount across multiple products, like 10% off all preorders.
Fixed Amount Discount deducts a set amount from the total price, no matter the product price. Use this for offers like $5 off preorders.
To help you set this up, we’ve created an introductory video that walks you through the steps of applying a discount to a preorder product. The video also touches on ensuring compatibility when using custom settings in your pre-order configurations.
To set up a discount:
Open the PreOrder Now (PON) app and go to the “Settings” section.
Scroll down to the “Discount” section.
Choose the type of discount—“Fixed Amount” or “Percentage.”
For “Percentage,” enter the percentage you want to offer. For “Fixed Amount,” enter the specific amount to be deducted.
Click “Save” to apply your changes.
To ensure the discounts work, please ensure these features are enabled and the app block is added to your live theme.
Enable Shopify Purchase Options in PON
In the PON app, go to the “Settings” tab and select “Default.”
Check the box for “Enable Shopify Purchase Options.”
Make sure your store is using Shopify Payments or PayPal.
Add the PreOrder Now Code Block to Your Theme
Go to Online Store > Themes.
Click Customize on your current theme.
At the top, switch to Products, then open your product template.
In the left-side panel, click Add Block.
Select Apps > Pre-Order Now – Plans.
Save your customized theme.
That’s it! The discount will not be automatically applied; the customer must select the discount in the drop-down element for it to take effect. For advanced users, consider exploring custom settings to fine-tune pre-order configurations, such as badge displays or supporting limited preorder quantities. Refer to the advanced configuration section below for guidance.
