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!
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
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!
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.
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
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.
We've been using Essential Pre-Order for quite some time now, and it's been really helpful for a made-to-order brand like ours. The app works well, and is easy to manage. The support team is responsive, and go the extra mile to resolve any issues. Highly recommended.
