I am looking for an app that will automatically switch products to pre order when items are on order in Stocky. These items already show expected restock date automatically.
We have lots of products coming and going all the time, so this needs to be automatic, it can not be something that has to be manually set up for each product.
I believe this app is exactly what you need—it’s the only fully automatic pre-order app on the Shopify App Store. All the others require manual setup each time: https://apps.shopify.com/stockflow
It works by leveraging Shopify’s Purchase Orders or the built-in Purchase Orders feature in the app. You can easily upload data via CSV, and once a Purchase Order is added, any item that goes out of stock will automatically switch to pre-order. The app uses the incoming stock date (plus a buffer you set for processing) to display an accurate dispatch date to customers.
Let me know if you have any questions!
