Add Pre-Order option to DAWN Theme

Topic summary

A user seeks to add a pre-order button to the DAWN theme but cannot locate the “Add to Cart” section in the main product liquid file, despite following guidance from a previous thread.

Solution provided:

  • Navigate to Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit Code
  • Locate the buy-button.liquid file within the Snippets folder
  • The user successfully found the file but needs further guidance on activation

Implementation options discussed:

  • For all products: Edit button wording via Shopify’s language settings (simpler approach)
  • For selective products: Customize the buy-buttons.liquid snippet directly (requires technical knowledge)
  • Always backup themes before making modifications

Alternative approach:
A preorder app is suggested as a faster, easier solution that avoids theme customization issues and compatibility problems during theme updates.

Status: The discussion remains open, with the user still needing specific instructions on activating the pre-order functionality after locating the correct file.

Thank you very much! I found it! How do I edit it in order to “activate” the Pre-Order Button?
