Hi, @devs2!

Great question!

To set up pre-orders products for your store, you'll need to install a pre-order app from our app store here at this page.

At present, pre-orders are exclusively available to merchants who use Shopify Payments or PayPal Express. To sell products using pre-orders, it is essential to adhere to the laws of your business and your customers' jurisdiction, as well as;

• Shopify Terms of Service
• The Shopify Acceptable Use Policy
• Shopify Payments Terms of Service for the country where your business is located.

You can learn more information about pre-orders as well as setting in up by clicking this link here.

I highly recommend checking our Shopify blog post titled How to Set Up Pre-Orders on Your Shopify Store. This post provides a comprehensive guide on how to create pre-order products, set availability dates, and manage orders. You can find the blog post here!

Hey, @devs2!

Thanks for getting back to me.

I've had a review of their documentation which includes Pre-order using Metafields here and also Pre-order using Product Tags at this link. From what I can see, these are just guides on how to set up the buttons on your store.

As mentioned in the Pre orders guide I linked above, you will still need a pre-order app for this function.

Let me know if you have any questions!
