You can schedule when preorders begin and end by setting up start and end dates. This is useful for time-limited campaigns, product launches, or managing demand ahead of a release.
There are two ways to set this up: using Default Settings (for all products) or Custom Settings (for specific products or tags).
Default Settings (Applies to All Products)
Open the PreOrder Now app and go to the Settings tab.
Click on Default settings.
Scroll to the Preorder Period section.
Enter your desired Start Date and End Date.
Scroll down and click Save.
Custom Settings (For Specific Products or Tags)
Go to the Products tab and select the variant you want to edit. You can also go to the Preorder Tags and open a tag.
Enable Custom Settings for that variant.
Scroll to the Preorder Period section and set the Start Date and End Date.
Click Save.
Notes:
If you don’t set a start date, the preorder will start immediately after saving.
If you don’t set an end date, the preorder will continue until your inventory condition is no longer met.
This setup gives you flexibility in planning product releases and creating urgency through limited-time preorder windows.
