I just added this to my shop. All of my apparel is made to order, so I am hoping this helps my customers with their purchases, and the understanding that everything is preordered form my shop.

Took me a minute to figure it all out, but I needed this app SO MUCH! Thank you for putting something together to help us small business owners out! Great for soapers or customizing crafters...it let's us show our products and pre-sale! LOVE IT!

The Essential Pre-Order & Pre-Sale app is one of the best pre-order solutions on the market! It has given me complete control over which products I want to enable for pre-order, making it incredibly easy to manage inventory and forecast demand. This app has helped me grow my sales by allowing customers to place pre-orders without the need to purchase large stocks in advance—a huge advantage for my business. The setup is simple, the features are intuitive, and the user interface is smooth. An added bonus is the super quick responses from the support team. Any time I had a question or needed assistance, they were on hand to help immediately. If you're looking for a reliable, easy-to-use pre-order app that allows you to sell products before they arrive in stock, this is a must-have. Highly recommended! Well done to the team behind this fantastic app—thank you so much!

Easy to use and works exactly as advertised with enough customisation to get the results we needed. Can't ask for more than that!

Great team and great app! Zydrunas, Matas and Samuel are very responsive and were able to handle all the CSS part of the pre-order button implementation. I highly recommend!

Everything seems great so far, was super easy to set up. I like that you can limit it to only select products or a whole collection. That flexibility is nice. Will update in the future once it’s implemented further in my shop!

We are happy to run this app on our stores. While we needed a few style customizations, the support team was very helpful implementing this.

This app is super-intuitive, easy to customize, and the support is ready on-hand with any quick updates or details you might want to add or remove. Found this app after being frustrated with another option that was 'free' and then let us know it would be $299 per month to run. Thanks so much team Essential Pre-Order - you're appreciated!
