Question 1

How to add a Preorder Button to your Shopify Store

Accepted Answer

If a product on your Shopify store has no stock, you either have yet to launch it or have already sold out (congrats if that's you!). Either way, you might miss out on potential sales because your customers cannot order the product. A preorder option is highly recommended, as it improves your cash flows and gauges potential actual demand.

Step 1 - Install the Timesact Preorder app.

You can either use this link or search Timesact on the Shopify App Store:

Step 2 - Enable the app block

This step will allow the Timesact app to display changes to your store's pages. Without it, none of the settings in the app will work, so please ensure it's enabled. Make sure to hit save in the top right corner. We toggle it on by default when you hit enable.

And don't worry, you have a step-by-step guide in the app dashboard that you can return to any time to find the app block enabled and the next steps.

Step 3 - Add your product into the app

Click the Add Products button in the Products tab on the top right corner.

Step 1 - Install the Timesact app a.k.a Preorder Notify Me Preorder T on your store:

Use this link to install the app, or just search for Timesact on the Shopify app store like this:

Step 2 - Enable the app block for Timesact (Be sure to tap the Save button!)

You also have a reminder in the app dashboard setup steps in case you ever need to do this step again later.

Step 3 - Add the product or products you want to add as coming soon into the app

Go to the Products tab in the app's left-han

Question 3

How to set up custom preorder emails

Accepted Answer

Some considerations when deciding how to use preorder emails

If you are using selling plans in Timesact Preorder, the Selling Plan name is automatically pulled into your Shopify confirmation emails as a cart line item. Your customers will be informed about shipping conditions or whatever other information you choose to highlight in that field.

For example:

it is not mandatory to also send out an extra email about the status of the preorders.

If you are NOT using selling plans or you want an extra email sent out to emphasize that certain items are on preorder and will be shipped later (or other conditions), you can choose to turn on preorder emails.

|| Custom preorder emails sent by Timesact Preorder do not disable the confirmation emails sent by Shopify. Customers will still receive those confirmation emails. || If you enable the Timesact preorder emails, they will be sent from the preorder@timesact.com inbox. Currently it is not possible to send these emails from your specific domain. Note: that is on our roadmap.

Step 1 - Make sure you enable the cart label on your preorder template

Step 2 - Edit your preorder email template

Step 3 - Turn on preorder emails
