No, offering preorders without generating a Shopify order is not recommended.
Creating a Shopify order ensures:
Accurate inventory tracking
Clear customer communication
Efficient fulfillment workflow
Skipping this step can lead to overselling, fulfillment delays, and customer frustration.
For best results, always let PreOrder Now generate an order for each preorder placed.
