Shopify Store - Impulse Theme - Adding Popup Confirmation before Add to Cart

[AlexChris]

I would like to find a way to add a popup notifcation to our store when someone adds a backordered item to their cart - that way they for sure see that the item is on backorder and has a longer lead time. Is there any apps or any way to do this? Thanks.

Hi @AlexChris 👋 Beyond what can be found searching those keywords https://apps.shopify.com/search?q=backorder%20popup

This is possible with an advanced theme customization.

often repurposing a pre-existing newsletter popup or size-chart system etc for the popup/modal/overlay by creating a custom javascript event handler to trigger the popup when a variant added to cart event happens.

if a confirmation data needs to go through checkout see the tangential agree-to-terms customization for vintage themes well https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-design/cart-add-an-agree-to-terms-and-conditions-checkbox/m-... 

If you need this customization then contact me for services

ALWAYS please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail in ALL correspondence.

Hi Alex - if you're going to go to the trouble of letting folks know products are backordered, it may be worth just going straight to a tool that does back in stock notifications.  A lot of stores use ... "Back in Stock: Restock alerts" (not affiliated with them in any way)

Hi @AlexChris - If you want to set clear expectations for your customers who places a backorder, our preorder app (Early Bird) could help.

Not a pop-up notification, but we prominently display the pre-order/back-order info as line items throughout your customer's purchase journey. Not just on the product page.

Your customers will see the info on the product page > when they add to cart > when they view cart > and at checkout.

Example info:
Hooligans 'Mars' 24K Baseball Jersey
$73.94
Size: S
Color: Red
Purchase option: Pre-order
Expected ship date: 2 November 2024

When we onboard you, we also guide you to update your emails too - to make sure you're providing a great Customer Experience for your pre-orders and back orders.

(It's all about managing your customers' expectations. Our merchants have hardly had any complaints or cancellations, even though some of them have super long lead times as they sell bikes and furnitures.)

You can try out our Free Plan and we'll help you setup - see if you think our app would be the right fit!
