Scored on 1,181 merchant reviews we hold for Essent Preorder Back in Stock, across five checks. Every figure is computed from those reviews — expand any row to see the counts behind it.





Computed from the 1,181 reviews we hold, with 12-month windows measured to 2026-08. This scores the public review record — it is not a review of the software itself, and a low score often means we hold little evidence rather than poor evidence.

Straightforward app. Been using it for about a month, no trouble at all even when updating the theme. I did however encounter an issue where the pre-order button wasn't showing when I published a specific campaign but the team (shoutout to Matas) was very quick to troubleshoot and fix. Would definitely recommend!

Developer repliedThank you for your review! We’re so glad to hear the app has been working well for your store. Matas will be happy to hear your kind words, and it’s great to know our team could quickly resolve the issue and get everything back on track. We truly appreciate your recommendation and support!

This is simple, slick, and does exactly what I hoped that it would. You can offer preorders on products only once they sell out, or have them turned on all the time (give the customer a discount if they choose preorder instead of buy now, etc.). Another great app from Essential

Developer repliedThank you for your review! We’re so glad to hear the app has been a great fit for your store and is providing the flexibility you were looking for. We truly appreciate your support! Samuel Show more

We've been quite happy with Essential Preorder. It's simple to set up and does exactly what we need. It makes it easy to offer products for preorder, clearly communicate expected availability to customers, and manage preorder settings without adding unnecessary complexity. It integrates well with our storefront, the interface is straightforward and easy to navigate. Support has also been very responsive and helpful whenever we have needed assistance. We'd definitely recommend!

Developer repliedThank you for your review! We’re so glad to hear the app has been a great fit for your store. It’s wonderful to know you’ve had a positive experience with both the app and our support team. We truly appreciate your recommendation and support! Samuel Show more

Essent Preorder has been a great addition to our Shopify store. The app is reliable, easy to configure, and provides the flexibility we need to manage preorder products. What has impressed us the most is the support team. They are incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and quick to resolve any issues or answer questions. Every time we've reached out, they've provided clear solutions and implemented fixes promptly, making the whole experience smooth and hassle-free.

Die App funktioniert hervorragend, lässt sich einfach einrichten und bietet viele Anpassungsmöglichkeiten. Besonders gefällt mir, wie unkompliziert sich Vorbestellungen verwalten lassen. Mein einziger Verbesserungsvorschlag betrifft die Zahlungseinstellungen: Derzeit können Kunden entweder sofort oder zu einem vorgegebenen Zeitpunkt belastet werden. Ich würde mir zusätzlich die Möglichkeit wünschen, die Zahlung erst bei der Erfüllung bzw. dem Versand der Bestellung einzuziehen. Das würde die App noch flexibler machen. Insgesamt kann ich sie jedem empfehlen, der eine zuverlässige und benutzerfreundliche Pre-Order-Lösung für Shopify sucht.

Developer repliedVielen Dank für deine Rezension! Es freut uns sehr, dass dir die App gefällt und du mit der Einrichtung sowie den Anpassungsmöglichkeiten zufrieden bist. Vielen Dank auch für dein wertvolles Feedback zur Zahlungsabwicklung – solche Anregungen helfen uns dabei, die App kontinuierlich weiterzuentwickeln. Kleiner Hinweis: Du kannst Vorbestellungen auch ohne sofortige Zahlung ermöglichen, indem du in der gewünschten Kampagne die Option Teilzahlung verwendest und den bei Bestellabschluss fälligen Betrag auf 0 setzt. In diesem Fall können Kunden ihre Vorbestellung ohne Zahlung abschließen, und du kannst den vollständigen Betrag erst zum Zeitpunkt der Bestellerfüllung bzw. des Versands einziehen. Vielen Dank für deine Unterstützung! Samuel Show more

i have a mostly preorder model so this app has been invaluable and has allowed me to formalize that process. the recent Omnisend integration will be extremely useful as that's the email platform i use. i spoke with Andy N about some features i would like to see with this integration as well as some clarifying questions, and he was prompt and extremely helpful with his responses

Developer repliedThank you for your review! We’re delighted to hear the app has been a valuable addition to your store.

The Essential Pre-Order app has been very helpful for our Shopify store. The setup is clear and the app works well for showing pre-order products, dispatch dates and stock availability. A big thank you to Matas and Kate for their amazing support. They helped us quickly, understood exactly what we needed, and made the pre-order display look professional on our product pages. Really happy with the app and the customer service. Highly recommended.
