What Merchants Think

Merchants have expressed mixed opinions about "PreOrder Alpha". While some users commend its ease of use, functional capabilities, and responsive customer support, others have reported significant issues with app stability and server reliability. The lack of timely support response during critical issues has been a point of frustration for several users.

Key Strengths

  • Easy to use and straightforward setup process.
  • Effective for managing pre-orders and back-orders.
  • Outstanding, responsive support in many cases.
  • Offers robust features at no cost.

Common Concerns

  • Frequent server issues causing the app to go offline.
  • Lack of timely response from customer support during outages.
  • Crashes and stability issues under high order volume.
  • Reports of the app interfering with site configurations.

Final Thoughts

Overall, "PreOrder Alpha" is appreciated for its practical features and customer service when it is operational. However, the app needs to address its server stability and support response times to improve user trust and satisfaction. It is an effective solution for managing orders, especially for small businesses, as long as the mentioned limitations are under control.

I have been emailing support for over a 2 weeks with no response! Can't make any adjustments, backend only has error codes! Such as 500 | Internal Server Error, and Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

This app routinely goes offline with server issues effectively making its usefulness obsolete and requiring more admin work to reset the entire inventory of items it is applied to. Support contacts are ghosts with no response provided when the servers fail.

This app constantly crashes! The server will go done and the pre-order function stops working! No support. This app cannot handle high order volume. It crashes constantly. I do not recommend this app. I have been using this app for over a year. Stray away!!

Ich kann absolut nur gutes berichten. Die Bedienung ist übersichtlich und leicht zu verstehen und die Funktionen sind für meinen Gebrauch völlig ausreichend. Wenn mal etwas nicht funktioniert (war bei mir in 3 Jahren nur 2x), hat der Support sofort geholfen und das wieder behoben. Antwort kam innerhalb von ein paar Stunden und spätestens einen Tag später lief alles wieder problemlos.

After almost 8 months of use without problems, it has suddenly stopped working (500, Internal Server Error). Creating chaos in our store as many products no longer appear in pre-order and consequently being sold massively. There is no way to contact them and they do not answer the email sent to support. Is the fault permanent? Are you going to solve it?

easy to use, fast to work, simple to set up, and, more importantly, customer services are quick and to the point. That really save your life!! and it is a free app, don't forget that. Thanks much, John. Highly recommend.

Brilliant! This app is simple yet effective and the support is outstanding. We had a few changes as we are using the app for Special Order items and John was super helpful and very quick. Thanks for this app and your help.

This is is so helpful. It allows me to offer to preorders to my customers. As a small business I have to monitor costs at every turn, so to be able to use this app for free is great. However, as of May 12, 2021, the app just stopped working for me.

We needed a simple solution for our webshop that could indicate both pre-order and back-order products. After trying out 2-3 other (highly rated) pre-order apps, this is surprisingly the most convenient solution by far. Super automated, simple and easy to use – and it's free! With that said, we will consider it well worth the money if they decide to charge a reasonable fee in the future.

What a great help!!! Because of left over codes from another plugin, it didn't work out 100% correct. After a mail they react very quick and spend 2 days working to make this plugin more than perfect, Exactly what we need because have pre-release of the upcoming HAEVN EP in a few days. Many many thanks John

Very helpful support team, I had a few issues more to do with theme than the App, but Tobi came to my rescue and sorted it out for me. Thanks again for all your efforts.
