When it comes to eCommerce brands, data from Scalefast suggests that pre-orders may be more important than ever. Their findings indicate that online businesses should put even more effort into driving up their pre-order sales, particularly on the very first day that orders can be made. Brands should be focused on generating customer awareness well in advance of the all-important launch date by employing a mix of marketing strategies.
Pre-order sales are crucial to a successful product launch and while most eCommerce store owners are already planning to sell exclusive products on pre-order, it’s about time you do the same using WooCommerce Pre-orders that is now compatible with WooSquare Plus.
WHY CHOOSE WOOCOMMERCE PRE-ORDERS?
WooCommerce pre-orders extension lets you sell products and services before they are available to the general audience.
When you charge a pre-order upfront, the customer pays the entire pre-order amount during the initial checkout. After the release of the product, the customer gets a notification for which they get an exclusive code that they can use online or at the store.
When charging a pre-order upon release, the customer’s payment method is charged when the product is released (either by reaching the availability date, if set, or manually within the Pre-Orders admin).
Features:
- Set an optional date/time when the product will be available
- Automatically charge orders when the product is available
