YITH WooCommerce Pre-Order Premium 2.23.2
Wordpress Plugins Yithemes 4.8 (3.3K reviews)
This plugin lets you open sales for products before they exist. You set up an item as a pre-order, display it in your store, and customers can pay now while the product is still in production or not yet launched. Built as a WooCommerce extension, it integrates directly with your existing product pages, cart, checkout, and email system. Instead of listing an item as "sold out" or "coming soon," you can make it a live orderable product with its own timeline. The plugin manages the whole lifecycle from announcement to release. For store owners launching physical goods, seasonal items, or limited runs, this turns anticipation into revenue immediately. On the surface, it looks like a normal offering, but the purchase happens under pre-order terms you control, giving customers clarity and you a way to gauge demand before a full release. This setup fits into the familiar WooCommerce workflow, so you do not have to learn a separate system or manage a second list of products.
The plugin gives you precise control over the pre-order period. You can set a specific start date and end date, down to the exact day and time. You can also set an expiration date for the pre-order offer. When the pre-order period ends, you decide what happens: the product can become automatically purchasable at the normal price, or you can close it off entirely. Another useful option is turning existing out-of-stock products into pre-order items. If a product is marked as unavailable but you expect new stock, you can switch it to pre-order mode without creating a separate listing. This works well for restocks or for products that are technically in production. The flexibility here means you are in charge of the timing and the terms, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Granular scheduling helps when you want the pre-order to start at the same time as a product announcement or to end right before the expected delivery date.
Customization options are practical. You can change the text on the pre-order button, so instead of "Add to Cart" it might say "Reserve Now" or "Pre-order at 10% off." The button text can be set globally or individually per product, which is useful if you have different kinds of items with different messaging needs. Also, you can customize the expiration date message and the notification emails. When a product that was in pre-order status becomes available, the plugin can automatically notify customers who placed an order. That email can be edited like any other WooCommerce email, including the template and label. Since it plugs into the standard WooCommerce email system, you do not need to learn any new interface. It behaves the same way as order confirmation emails, giving you consistency across your store communications. The per-product button text is especially helpful for special editions or products with unique conditions, because you can display different wording without altering the global setting.

A dedicated pre-order report appears in the My Account page, giving customers a clear view of their pending orders. This is not just a simple list; it shows them the status of each pre-order, so they know whether the item is still awaiting release or has been shipped. For store owners, the report is a practical way to track commitments and manage expectations. The plugin does not add unnecessary complexity to the product creation process. If you already run a WooCommerce store, adding this extension means you can list future products with full ordering capabilities, flexible timing, and clear customer notifications. It is a focused tool that addresses one specific need: selling items before they are physically ready, while keeping the store experience familiar and straightforward for both you and your buyers. Customers see all their pre-orders in one place, which reduces confusion and support questions. The report also gives store owners a snapshot of upcoming orders, making it easier to plan fulfillment.
