Shopware 6 Pre-order Plugin

Shopware Pre Order plugin enables the customers to place pre-orders for products that are out of stock or unavailable in the store. It needs customers to log in to place the pre-orders. Admin can determine the price that customer has to pay while using the feature. The amount can be a partial payment as well as the full payment of the product price.

The plugin is more like a marketing idea that enables retailers, manufacturers, and publishers to attract the audience toward upcoming products. Also, it allows them to have a rough idea about the demand for the product so that manufacturing and shipment can be made accordingly.

Customers can place orders for out-of-stock inventory, and merchants can accept the order. Once the inventory returns to stock, the orders of customers are fulfilled, and stakeholders are informed about the same. However, customers can add only one pre-order good to the cart at one time.
