Free Features
Pre-Order Any Product
Enable pre-orders on simple, variable, composite, bundle, and booking products with a single checkbox. Customers see a customizable “Pre-order now” button and an availability message.
Release Date & Countdown
Set an optional availability date and time. When the release date arrives, WP-Cron automatically completes all pre-orders for that product β no manual work needed.
Use the [npom_countdown] shortcode to embed a live countdown timer anywhere on your site.
Two Payment Models
– Upfront (pay now): Full payment collected at checkout. Order stays “Pre-ordered” until the release date.
– Upon release (pay later): No charge at checkout. On release, customers with a saved payment method are charged automatically; others receive a payment link by email.
Optional Pre-Order Fee
Add an extra charge on top of the product price (e.g., a reservation fee). It appears as a separate line item in the cart.
Six Email Notifications
All emails are configurable from WooCommerce Settings Emails:
– New Pre-Order (admin)
– Pre-Ordered Confirmation (customer)
– Pre-Order Available / Released (customer)
– Pre-Order Cancelled (customer + admin)
– Pre-Order Date Changed (customer)
