- Start simply. A guided setup and one dashboard keep product settings and pre-orders easy to manage.
- Sell without a product cap. The free plugin supports unlimited simple products and orders, with no time limit.

- A reusable customer email design with a store logo, banner, accent color and sender name. Replies go to the store's WooCommerce contact address.

常见问题:
How is a pre-order different from a WooCommerce backorder?
WooCommerce backorders let customers order products that are out of stock. PreOrder Pilot adds an optional expected availability date, clear pre-order labels and messages, and a dedicated Pre-ordered status for paid pre-orders. You choose which simple products accept pre-orders; automatic activation when stock runs out requires Growth.
Can I use variable products, deposits or pay later for free?
The free plugin supports simple products with full payment at checkout and has no product limit. Variable products, deposits and pay-later orders require the separate paid PreOrder Pilot Growth plugin.
Does Free require registration?
No. Free works locally within WordPress and WooCommerce.
How do I upgrade to Growth?
Choose a plan at https://licenses.weareplano.gr/buy?tier=growth&period=monthly. After checkout you get a license key and a download link. Install PreOrder Pilot Growth next to this plugin and activate the key under PreOrder Pilot → Growth license. Your account page at https://licenses.weareplano.gr/portal shows your keys, sites and downloads.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, every Growth plan starts with a 14-day free trial. A card is needed to start; you can cancel before the trial ends and you will not be charged.
Can I move my license to another site?
Yes. Deactivate it on the old site (or from your account page), then activate it on the new one. Local and staging sites (localhost, .local, .test, staging.*) do not count towards your site limit.
Which emails do customers get?
The free plugin sends "Pre-order confirmation" after payment. You can turn it off or edit it under WooCommerce → Settings → Emails. Growth adds release date changed, product released and balance reminder emails.
Is there a limit on products or orders?
No. The free plugin has no product, order or time limit.
Does the free plugin contact your servers?
No. It makes no remote requests and collects no data. The only external link is an optional, dismissible notice about Growth on the PreOrder Pilot dashboard.
Are Shopify and Wix supported?
This package runs in WordPress with WooCommerce. It does not install into Shopify or Wix.
Does this work with every theme and gateway?
WooCommerce-native hooks support standard product/cart/checkout flows. Custom builders, express checkout extensions, custom statuses and gateways that bypass normal order hooks need their own integration verification. Please test your own gateway and theme on a staging site first.
What customer data is stored?
The free plugin stores pre-order settings on products and a pre-order snapshot (availability date and label) on order items. It stores no extra customer data and sends nothing to PLANO.
What happens during deactivation or uninstall?
Deactivation keeps all settings. On uninstall, data is kept unless you tick "Delete plugin settings and product pre-order settings when uninstalling" in PreOrder Pilot → Settings. Historical order details always stay in WooCommerce.
How are translations provided?
German, French, Greek, Spanish, Turkish, Polish, Italian, Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese translations are included in the plugin, covering both Free and Growth strings. The dashboard follows your WordPress user language; the storefront and customer emails follow the active WordPress/WooCommerce locale. English is the fallback. WordPress.org language packs and translation tools can still supply overrides. Custom product text and saved email subjects are not automatically translated. Dates follow the WordPress site timezone and locale.
