Pre-orders

I’d love to see a workshop on setting up a pre-order campaign for new products that are in production but not in stock.

YES! I’d love to see this as well!

Hi @3genhandbags and @martymann2025 ,

Josiah here. :waving_hand: We’re an Aussie-founded pre-order and back-in-stock app (Early Bird). We have a 5-minute video on YouTube about setting up pre-order campaigns via our app, along with a few other videos, blog articles, and a whole lot of help articles about running pre-orders on Shopify in general.

If you’re happy to share more about what you’re looking to achieve, I can help guide your setup (you might not even need an app).

What’s not mentioned in our videos and articles is you can schedule pre-order campaigns via our app, display as “Coming Soon”, and capture email sign-ups until you’re ready to open up pre-orders. Then email them when you feel comfortable to open up pre-orders. This is quite popular amongst some of our merchants due to the uncertainty around their shipping times.

Otherwise, our other merchants usually just capture payment upfront (better for your cash flow anyway) - provided they have product demand.

Normally as part of our higher tier paid plans, I do a 1:1 onboarding call with merchants and walk them through a Miro board (online whiteboard) on all things pre-orders and back-in-stock related.

Happy to record a few videos and share with you both, if you’d like?

Let me know if it’s okay for me to share the videos and articles with you as well. :grinning_face:
