Your customers want to be able to buy your products before they are made available: allow them to do so!
Do you want your products to become popular and sell a lot? Use an efficient pre-sale system in your store!
Whenever a product or service is about to be launched on the market, a feeling of expectations is triggered in your customers, which makes them more likely to proceed with the purchase. Unfortunately, this unconscious process is rarely used properly and once a new product is finally on the market, many customers already lost their interest in it.
Thanks to YITH WooCommerce Pre-Order you can watch your sales of new or momentarily unavailable items improve right away, offering your customers the chance to purchase the products they are after and receive them only after they are officially on sale.
Many large companies use a pre-sale system in order to increase their sales and create hype around specific products.
Just like Apple does! So why not start using this winning marketing system right away on your website? In order to offer this opportunity, we have created YITH WooCommerce Pre-Order, a plugin that will easily allow you to integrate a simple pre-order feature in your e-commerce store.
This will allow you to create pre-order ready products and put them on sale before they are released, create an automatic email system that will inform your customers once the item is officially released and on sale.
It will also be possible to offer discounts for those who choose to purchase an item while it is still in the pre-order status, which will make this strategy even more effective and will raise your conversion rate. This plugin works perfectly with variable products and allows credit card payment thanks to its compatibility with YITH WooCommerce Stripe.
Offer your products right now, including those that are not yet available and remember: each day you spend without enabling purchases, is a whole day worth of sales that’s lost for good!

Excellent plug inWe were doing pre orders without this module and it was a bookkeeping nightmare. This allows us to easily find them in the system when the items arrive in addition to automating things like removing the dates and changing the price when the pre order date arrives.
Excellent addition to our web platform and makes life easier in our brick and mortar.
