    I've been using Essential apps for a while and now my entire site runs on all different ones. The fact that they're free is amazing for small stores, and to me a no brainer if you're starting out. Once I scale, I will make sure to scale them too! Also, Samuel (and others ive been in touch with) are SO friendly, fast and professional. I was stuck with custom CSS for an element and within 1 hour all was set and done. Incredible. Cannot recommend this app enough!!

    This app is so useful and saves a lot of my time! I sell US comics on my Shopify store in Indonesia, and using this app is a must for setting up preorders (which can amount to thousands of new titles each month). The app's customizable features is very useful in providing expectation for customers when a certain title will be released. 5 stars for the developers! If there's one drawback, is that I'd like to find a way to remove the Preorder Campaign from the individual product's page, without opening the app page itself.

    This app is fantastic! It has a simple and super easy setup. It does exactly what you need it to do, making it ideal for new product launches or when you run out of stock but plan to restock soon. The email notification feature is excellent, ensuring that customers are never confused about product availability.

    The experience has been great! As a business that distrbutes international brands product, the Essestial Preorder app truly is a life saver for my business to inform customers that the products are preorder. Plus, the app is also easy to navigate which makes listing a preorder product much easier. Thank you to the Essential Apps team for the support and assistance.

    easy to use and setup within minutes! I've never had such an easy app and especially for pre-orders. I came to shopify from etsy, and was shocked that I couldnt find a very good pre-order app that was affordable let alone really worked well and was simple to use. THIS IS IT!!!! Thank you for existing Essential Preorder & Presale! I will use this app forever as my business does pre-orders for every restock once a quarter!

    Great app, user friendly, and does exactly what it states that it will do. Have been using it for our preorders and everything has worked perfectly. My only nitpick is that I wish you could save what the default text is in the 'ships as soon as possible' box.

    It's a great tool. Super easy set up. Does exactly what you want it to do. Ideal for new product launches or if you stock out of something, but plan to have more. The email notification feature is great. No confusion with customers. I started using it about 2 months ago and they've since rolled out some feature enhancements, which is always nice to see. Looking forward to continuing to use it!

    Such a beneficial, straight-forward app to accept pre-orders on your website. I wanted something simple and easy to setup and this is exactly that. I didn't want all these fancy features, just a button to clearly show the customer that it is a pre-order and when it will ship. Thanks so much for creating such a good, simple tool :)
