When the app works, it works great. But every time I change 1 setting, it changes many on the background. This has always been the case from the start. Just tonight I simply changed the preorder message, that's literally all I did. I didn't touch any other setting, button, at all. And now the preorder message has disappeared from my out of stock products, the app de-embedded itself, and the box checked to show preorder message on product page was unticked. I ticked it and fixed it as much as the AI assistant could help, but it still isn't working. Now waiting for a human. And all I did was change the preorder message. Ok I've figure it out and I'm so angry. After doing the above, I have found that the app removed the check from continue selling when out of stock for every product! And I should have known because it did this once before in this exact scenario! I just changed the review from 3 stars to 2.

Thanks for taking the time to share this and we’re really sorry for the frustration this caused. We understand how concerning it is to see multiple settings change when you only intended to update the preorder message.

What you described definitely isn’t the experience we want for merchants using the app. Our team has reached out to you via email so we can investigate what happened on your store and help restore everything properly.

When you have a moment, please reply to our email and we’ll work through this with you as quickly as possible. We appreciate you flagging this and giving us the chance to make it right.

This app is working better than another pre-sale app I tried (which oversold the number I had set). The customer service was helpful in getting WOD set up and working on my site.

My only complaint is some orders are coming in without being tagged and apparently the customer is unaware it was on backorder. I noticed a slight delay in the button changing to "Backorder" and the shipping date showing up so I don't know if these customers are just super fast in hitting that "add to cart" button or if something else is causing the "backorder" to not be triggered.

The pre-order information is not pulled into the ShopApp and anyone who purchases with on our site with Shop, Amazon, Apple or Google pay also doesn't get tagged.

Thanks for the kind words! We're really glad to hear the app has been working better for you and that our team could help get WOD set up smoothly. 😊

About the untagged orders, that can sometimes happen but it shouldn’t be frequent, so we’d be happy to review a few examples and your setup to see what might be causing it.

Please reach out to our support team, we'll be glad to help! 🚀

Easy to set up. Once a customer has paid, it is telling them it will ship in 3-5 days. So need to point out that you have to change your shipping details

Easy setup is great to hear, and your note about the 3-5 day shipping message is helpful. What could we do to make the setup or shipping details clearer and improve your experience with PreOrder Now?

We hope to hear from you soon!
