Things to understand

Do you want your products to be well-known and do wonders? Make use of an effective pre-sale system in your store! When a new product or service is about to be introduced to the market, your customers develop a sense of expectations, which increases their possibility of making a purchase. Unfortunately, this unconscious process is rarely used correctly, and by the time a new product hits the market, many customers have already lost interest in it.
With PrestaShop Pre-Order, you can immediately see an increase in sales of new or temporarily unavailable items by giving your customers the option to purchase the products they want and receive them only after they are officially on sale. Many large corporations use a pre-sale system to boost sales and create buzz around specific products.
Exactly like Apple! So, why not implement this winning marketing strategy on your website right away? To provide this opportunity, we developed PrestaShop Pre-Order, a plugin that allows you to easily integrate a simple pre-order feature in your e-commerce store.
Offer your products right away, including those that aren’t yet available, and remember every day you go without allowing purchases is a whole day’s worth of sales that you’ll never get back!
