Bitnary Preorder Dates for WooCommerce
Pre-order with
two dates,
not one.
One date for when orders close. A separate date for when the release ships. Set it on the whole product, or on a single variation.
See it in action
One minute, start to finish.
What it does
Two dates. Zero manual cutoff work.
Free on WordPress.org, with everything below already working today.
Two independent dates
Set a cutoff for when pre-orders stop, and a separate release date for when the item ships. Works on the whole product or on a single variation.
Blocks the sale by itself
Once the cutoff date and time pass, the product stops being purchasable. Shoppers see your closed message instead of "Add to cart".
Built for HPOS and block checkout
Pre-order validation runs through WooCommerce's Store API, the same code path the cart and checkout blocks use.
More detail
Set once, where you already work.
In the product editor and in WooCommerce settings, nowhere else.
day refund window on Pro. Cancel anytime, no retention pitch.
Per-variation pre-orders
Each variation gets its own cutoff and release date, not just the parent product.
Ships on, right in the cart
The block-based cart shows the release date under every pre-order line.
Custom label, button and closed message
Change what shoppers read on the product page, in shop listings and once pre-orders close. The release and cutoff dates fill in automatically.
No manual step
Nothing to remember. The cutoff enforces itself the moment it passes.
How it works
Three steps, no code
Same screens you already use to set price and stock.

2

Label, button text and the closed message, with dates filled in automatically.
