详情介绍:
- Pre-order any simple product or individual variations, each with its own optional release date and time.
- Sell while out of stock: pre-order products can be bought even when their stock is zero (stock goes negative like a backorder, so you always know how many units you owe).
- Optional pre-order limit per product or variation (for example "only 100 units"). When it is reached the product shows "Pre-orders are closed".
- Custom texts: "Pre-order now" button, availability message with the release date (
{date},{time}placeholders), a per-product custom message, and a label next to pre-order items. - Clear information everywhere: product page, shop loop, cart, checkout, thank-you page, My Account and emails show that the item is a pre-order and when it is expected.
- "Pre-ordered" order status: paid orders that contain pre-order items get their own status, so they are not shipped by mistake. The store owner still receives the usual "New order" email.
- Automatic release with WP-Cron: an event runs at the exact release time (plus an hourly safety check), marks the product as released and moves its orders to Processing (or Completed for virtual downloadable items, like WooCommerce does) in batches.
- Manual release with one click from the product editor or the pre-orders screen, for products without a date or released early.
- Two customer emails, editable in WooCommerce > Settings > Emails: "Pre-order received" and "Pre-order available". Templates can be overridden in your theme.
- Pre-orders screen (WooCommerce > Pre-orders): every pre-order product with its release date, units pre-ordered, orders waiting and a list of those orders.
- Mixed carts rule: allow (default) or forbid pre-order and regular products in the same cart.
- Settings tab in WooCommerce > Settings > Pre-Orders.
- Translation ready. Spanish (es_ES) translation included.
- Early-bird prices: a lower price, or a percentage off, that applies only while the product is a pre-order.
- Release countdown: a live countdown to the release date on the product page.
- "New release date" emails: when you move a release date, customers with a waiting pre-order are told automatically.
- CSV export of the waiting pre-orders, for all products or one.
- Pre-order when sold out: products switch to pre-order automatically when they run out of stock and are released when you restock.
- Units per order: a maximum number of units of each pre-order product in one order.
- Cart and Checkout blocks and the classic shortcode cart/checkout (all rules run through the Store API too).
- HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) and the legacy posts storage. Orders are only read and written through the WooCommerce CRUD API.
- Payment gateways that mark orders as paid through WooCommerce (cards, PayPal, Stripe, WooPayments and most others) and Cash on delivery. With bank transfer or cheque the order stays "On hold" until you confirm the payment; then set it to "Pre-ordered".

常见问题:
When are customers charged?
Upfront, when they place the order, like any other order. The order then waits in the "Pre-ordered" status until the release.
What happens on the release date?
WP-Cron releases the product at the release time (an hourly check catches anything missed). Every "Pre-ordered" order whose pre-order items are all released moves to "Processing" (or "Completed" if it only has virtual downloadable items) and the customer receives the "Pre-order available" email. WP-Cron runs when your site gets visits; for exact timing on low-traffic sites, set up a real cron job for wp-cron.php.
Can I release a product before its date, or one without a date?
Yes. Use "Release now" in the product's Pre-order tab (or inside the variation) or in WooCommerce > Pre-orders.
What about orders paid by bank transfer or cheque?
They stay "On hold" until you confirm the payment, as usual. When you have the money, change the status to "Pre-ordered" (or to "Processing" if the product is already released).
Can a cart contain pre-order and regular products?
Yes by default. The whole order then waits as "Pre-ordered" until its pre-order items are released. If you prefer separate orders, untick "Mixed carts" in the settings.
How does stock work?
If you manage stock, each pre-order reduces it like a backorder, so it can go below zero. When the goods arrive, add the stock as usual. If you do not manage stock, nothing changes. By default the plugin skips WooCommerce's "Product out of stock" and "Product backorder" admin emails for pre-order products (WooCommerce 11.0+ for the backorder one); you can switch them back on in the settings.
Does it work with the Cart and Checkout blocks?
Yes. The pre-order label, the limit and the mixed-cart rule are applied through the Store API that the blocks use, and the order status logic is the same for every checkout.
Can I change the email texts?
Yes, in WooCommerce > Settings > Emails ("Pre-order received" and "Pre-order available"). To change the layout, copy the templates from debutly-pre-orders/templates/emails/ to yourtheme/woocommerce/emails/.
Is there a Pro version?
Yes, an optional add-on with early-bird prices, a release countdown, "new release date" emails, CSV export, automatic pre-orders when a product sells out and a units-per-order limit. This free plugin works on its own and nothing in it is locked. The plugin shows a short note about the add-on only on its own screens.
What happens if I delete the plugin?
Nothing is removed unless you tick "Remove data" in the settings. If you do, the settings and product pre-order data are deleted and orders still "Pre-ordered" are moved to "On hold" so they stay visible.
