PreOrder Now WOD offers a free plan that covers 1 pre-order product and includes mixed cart warnings and email support. Paid plans start at $19.95/month (Shopify Basic) and go up to $59.95/month (Shopify Advanced) for unlimited pre-order products, live chat/email support, discounts, partial payments, and a dedicated success manager on the top tier. A 14-day free trial is available on all paid plans.
The app is designed to work out-of-the-box without coding — setup involves toggling it on via Shopify's App Embeds in the theme editor. That said, some merchants have reported theme compatibility conflicts causing issues like code injection or display problems, and in those cases the support team steps in to make manual fixes.
The majority of merchants praise the support team for being quick, professional, and available even on weekends. However, some international merchants (particularly in Australia) have noted delays due to US business-hours availability. The app's aggregate review rating is 4.5 stars from over 1,000 reviews on the Shopify App Store.
Yes — the app includes Inventory Rules & Limits to set stock-based rules and cap the number of pre-orders by variant. However, a minority of merchants have reported overselling incidents where the set limit was not enforced, so it's worth testing limit behavior thoroughly before a major product drop.
Yes, partial payments are available on the Shopify Basic plan ($19.95/month) and above. The app relies on Shopify's selling plan structure to enable this, which means partial payments may be required in certain configurations — something a few merchants found inflexible. If full upfront payment (with no deposit split) is your preferred flow, confirm the setup with support before committing.
Beyond replacing the 'Add to Cart' button, the app offers bulk pre-order management across products/variants/tags, scheduled preorder launches, stylish product badges on collection and product pages, mixed cart alerts, pre-order discounts, customizable confirmation emails, and performance tracking via Google Analytics. It also integrates with tools like In Cart Upsell, Product Customizer, Trackify X, and PageFly.
PreOrder Now WOD was launched in June 2017, making it one of the longer-standing pre-order apps on the Shopify App Store. It holds the 'Built for Shopify' badge, meaning it meets Shopify's highest standards for performance, design, and integration. The developer, Website on Demand Studio, LLC, is based in Encinitas, CA.
