What Is WooCommerce Pre-Order and How Does It Work?

WooCommerce Pre-Order allows store owners to sell products before they are officially available. With this feature, customers can place advance orders for upcoming or out-of-stock items, helping businesses generate early revenue and measure demand. WooCommerce Pre-Order also lets merchants manage release dates, control payments, and notify customers automatically once the product is ready, improving customer experience and inventory planning.
