Frequently asked questions

Is there a free plan, or do I need to pay from day one?

Yes, there is a genuinely usable free plan that includes 10 preorders/month, 300 back-in-stock notifications/month, unlimited 'Notify Me' sign-ups, full and partial payment support, and 24/7 support — all at no cost. Paid plans start at $9/month (Starter) and go up to $59/month (Professional) for unlimited preorders and notifications, with a 14-day free trial on all paid tiers.

Does it work with my existing Shopify theme, or will I need a developer to set it up?

The app is designed for seamless, no-code integration with Shopify themes. Multiple merchants specifically note it matched their theme perfectly out of the box, and setup is described as easy enough for non-technical users to follow without developer help. The support team can also make visual adjustments if needed.

Can I accept partial payments or deposits on preorders, or is it full payment only?

Partial payments are fully supported — including deposits, deferred payments, split payments, and payment schedules with due dates. Notably, partial payment functionality is included even on the free plan, unlike some competing apps that lock this behind paid tiers.

How responsive is the support team if something breaks or I need help?

The app advertises 24/7 human support on all plans, including free, and the developer's own site claims a response time of under 10 minutes. Across nearly 1,000 reviews at a 5.0 rating on the App Store, fast and effective support is the most frequently mentioned differentiator by merchants — with specific team members praised for resolving issues within 24 hours, including on weekends.

Can I run preorders on in-stock or 'coming soon' products, or only on out-of-stock items?

Preorder campaigns can be set up for out-of-stock, coming soon, made-to-order, and always-on (in-stock) products. This gives merchants full flexibility to run launch campaigns or presales on live products — a limitation found in some competing apps that only trigger preorders when inventory hits zero.

Does it support multiple languages for international stores?

Yes, the app supports a wide range of languages including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, Russian, and more — making it suitable for international and multilingual storefronts.

What other apps and tools does it integrate with?

The app works with Shopify Admin, Shopify Checkout, PageFly, Essential Countdown Timer, Essential Sticky Add to Cart, and product option apps. It also supports preorder and back-in-stock flows across product pages, collection pages, search results, and Quick Buy buttons. B2B preorder flows are supported alongside standard DTC use cases.
