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 — 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)

My Account — Pre-Orders Tab
Customers can view and cancel their pre-orders from the standard WooCommerce My Account area.

WooCommerce Blocks Compatible
Full support for the Cart Block, Checkout Block, and Product Block Editor.

HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) Compatible
Fully declared and tested with WooCommerce’s custom order tables.

WooCommerce Subscriptions Compatible
Pre-order subscription products. No charge at checkout — the subscription starts and the first payment is collected on the release date. Requires WooCommerce Subscriptions 6.2.0+.

Translation Ready
All strings use the nextxen-pre-order-manager text domain. Compatible with WPML, Polylang, and Loco Translate.
