Pre-order
Let shoppers buy what has not arrived yet. Take the full amount, a deposit, or nothing until you ship, and tell them exactly when it lands. One rule can cover every sold-out product.
An offer decides what can be pre-ordered and on what terms. Start with a single launch, or set one rule and let it keep the entire store covered without you touching it again.
Cash up front funds the run. A deposit lowers the barrier on an expensive item. Charging on fulfilment removes it. The card is vaulted either way, so the balance is collected without chasing anyone.
Shoppers will wait months for the right product. What they will not forgive is finding out late. Every pre-order says what it is and when it lands, on the button, in the cart and in the email.
Everyone who asked to be told when a product came back is in your Back in Stock list. Open a pre-order and invite exactly those people. A pre-order-only app cannot do this, because it has no waitlist to draw on.
A pre-order is a commitment both ways. The report keeps both halves in front of you: money committed, money collected, and the units you now owe someone. Balances reconcile with Shopify hourly.

“It is a pretty simple app. I had a couple issues getting it working but the team there jumped right on it and helped me fix my mistakes.”
“Easy to set up and helpful customer support - would definitely recommend”
“In-stock alerts were exactly what our store needed. Now customers know the instant new shipments land from overseas, and the dashboard is super easy to use. Support was quick and helpful too. Couldn't ask for more!”
A free plan that cannot finish a launch teaches you nothing. This one can. Every plan includes Back in Stock and Low in Stock too.

Full pricing for all three modules.
Shopify vaults the card at checkout. You take a percentage now and the balance on a date or after a number of days. Failed balance payments are flagged with the customer so nothing is lost silently.
When a product is out of stock and set to continue selling when out of stock, and it is in an active offer. Both conditions stop the button showing on products you can ship today.
Yes. One offer scoped to All products checks your catalogue hourly and adds whatever just sold out. Exclude by tag to keep clearance or made-to-order lines off pre-order.
Change the date on the offer. On Standard and up, email everyone affected in one click. The date also updates on the button, in the cart and in the confirmation email.
Yes, from Starter. Set a minimum and maximum per order, and on Standard cap the total units an offer may sell.
Everyone who asked to be told when a product came back is already in your Back in Stock list. On Pro, invite exactly those shoppers the moment you open a pre-order on that product.
Pre-order ships with Back in Stock and Low in Stock in the same app, on the same subscription.
