详情介绍:

PluginCity Advanced Pre-Orders for WooCommerce lets you take money for something that is not on your shelf yet, without anybody being misled about when it will arrive. Watch the setup tutorial on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqCRDOpyQ1o Tick a box on a product, give it the date you expect it, and the button changes from Add to basket to Pre-order. The date follows the customer from your shop listings to the product page, into the basket, through checkout, and onto the order they keep. Their order says it is awaiting release rather than sitting there looking like a warehouse has lost it, and it says the same on your orders screen. Simple products and variable ones both work. A variable product's date applies to every variation of it. The free version is permanent. It does not expire, needs no licence key, and never contacts PluginCity. What you get

Pre-orders on any product, with the expected date you were given
Add to basket becomes Pre-order, in whatever wording suits your shop
The date shown in shop listings, on the product page, in the basket, at checkout and on the order
Dates written in your site's own format, or as a full day, or as the month alone for when you know roughly when but not exactly
Wording for a pre-order you have no date for at all, rather than an awkward blank
Pre-order status on every order: awaiting release, due, or released
A Mark pre-order as released action on the order screen, which writes it into the order's history
Baskets holding a pre-order alongside something you can post today are refused, with a message you write
Refused on classic checkout and block checkout. Express payment flows are also blocked when the basket does not meet the pre-order rules
A shortcode, [apofw_message], to put the basket message anywhere
A Pre-order status block and an Elementor widget, which show a product's pre-order label and expected date anywhere on a page
Pre-order availability and the release date added to the product markup search engines read, only while a product is on pre-order
Settings import and export, so your wording can be carried to another shop or kept as a backup
High-Performance Order Storage compatibility

What Pro adds The free version takes as many pre-orders as customers will place, and gives every variation of a product the same date. Pro is for shops working to an allocation, shipping one colour before another, or with enough pre-orders on the go that they need a screen of their own.

A date for each variation, so the black one can ship in October and the red one in January
A cap on how many of a thing you will sell before it exists, counted against the orders you already hold
Baskets that mix pre-orders with goods on the shelf, and a ship together or ship separately choice for the customer
An email to everyone waiting when a date moves, whether it has slipped or come forward
A pre-order dashboard: what is on order, how much of each allocation has gone, and how many customers are waiting
Moving a date on several products at once, and switching pre-orders on or off in bulk from your products list
Orders released automatically the morning the goods are due
A pre-order fee, fixed or a percentage, charged on the pre-ordered part of the basket
A launch date, so a pre-order opens on a morning you choose rather than the moment you save the product
Your own colour, size and shape on the line about waiting, with a calendar or clock beside it, so it is not the quietest thing on the page
Layout, alignment and label style on the pre-order block and widget
The settings above travel with an export too, so a fee or a shipping default is carried to another shop with everything else

PluginCity Advanced Pre-Orders Pro is a separately distributed paid version. It is not included in this plugin and is not downloaded or installed by it.

安装:

WooCommerce must be installed and active first.

In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New.
Search for Advanced Pre-Orders for WooCommerce.
Click Install Now, then Activate.
Go to WooCommerce → Advanced Pre-Orders, or click Settings on the Plugins screen.

Installing from a downloaded ZIP instead: go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the ZIP file, and click Install Now. Leave the ZIP as it is; there is no need to unzip it.

升级注意事项:

1.1.0 Adds a Pre-order status block, an Elementor widget and pre-order product markup, which is on by default and can be switched off under Search engines in the settings.

常见问题:

What happens when the date arrives?

The product goes back to selling normally: the button says Add to basket again and the expected date comes off. Orders already placed move from awaiting release to due, and you mark them released from the order screen once the goods have gone. Pro can do that last part for you on the morning they are due.

What if I do not know the date yet?

Leave it blank. The product still sells as a pre-order, and the storefront says you will confirm a date rather than inventing one. You can set the date later and the customer's order picks it up.

Can somebody buy a pre-order and something in stock in the same basket?

Not in the free version. A basket holding both is refused with the message you write, because the alternative is a shop holding a parcel back for six weeks or paying to post two. Pro allows it, and asks the customer whether they would rather wait for one parcel or have the in-stock part now.

Does it work with variable products?

Yes. The date you set on the product applies to all of its variations. Pro gives each variation a date, and a stock line to sell on the shelf while its siblings are on pre-order.

Can I show a pre-order on a landing page or in Elementor?

Yes. The Pre-order status block (in the PluginCity group) and the Pre-order status Elementor widget show a product's label and expected date. Choose a product, or leave it empty for the product it sits on. The shortcode [apofw_preorder product="12" show="label,date"] does the same. A product that is not on pre-order, including one whose date has come, shows nothing on the page.

Does it help search engines understand a pre-order?

WooCommerce already prints Product markup. While a product is open for pre-order and can be bought, this plugin changes its availability to PreOrder and adds the expected date as availabilityStarts. It never prints a second Product, and it stops the moment the product is released. Switch it off under Search engines in the plugin's settings, or with the apofw_schema_enabled filter. A page cache may keep old markup until cleared.

Does it work with the block cart and checkout?

Yes. A basket that cannot go through is reported through WooCommerce's Store API, so the block cart and checkout refuse to proceed and show the same message.

Can a customer get past it with a one-tap payment button?

No. Express payment flows are also blocked when the basket does not meet the pre-order rules. The buttons stay on the basket, so a customer can read why the order is not going through, but the order itself is refused while the basket holds something that cannot be ordered. Any other flow that builds its order through WooCommerce's checkout is refused there too.

Does it work with High-Performance Order Storage?

Yes. Everything written to an order goes through WooCommerce's own order data, so HPOS shops are fully supported.

What happens if I deactivate WooCommerce?

The plugin steps aside and shows a notice. It does not fatally error, and your settings and your products' dates are waiting when WooCommerce comes back.

Do I need an account or a licence?

No. It is free to use for as long as you like, needs no key, and never contacts PluginCity.
