Pre-order setup

About:

This documentation presents the step-by-step process on how to enable and set up the pre-order functionality within Release starting with version 1.0.8

Overview:

In order to activate the pre-order functionality inside Release, you'll have to create two new product metafields:

Preorder: A "True or False" type product metafield.

Preorder shipping date: "Date" type product metafield.

Note: This is optional, but can be used to show the ETA of the product's arrival.

How to do it:

Step 1:

Go to the store's Settings > Custom Data > Metafield definitions > Products > Add definition

Step 2:

Enter the following values in order to create the preorder metafield:

Name: Preorder

Namespace and key: theme.preorder

Select type: True or false

Save

Step 3 (Optional)

Add a new definition with the following:

Name: Preorder shipping date

Namespace and key: theme.preorder_shipping_date

Select type: Date

Save

Step 4:

Go to the backend of the product you want to have as preorder and scroll down to Metafields > Preorder

Click on the preorder box and select "True"

Save

Step 5 (Optional):

If you've set up the preorder shipping date metafield as well, you can set it up in the product's backend Metafields > Preorder shipping date

Select the date when it can be shipped on

Save

Step 6:

Access the product inside the theme and confirm the functionality of the feature.

Note: The product's "Add to cart" button will appear as "Pre-order now".

Additionally, you'll have the following fields:

This product is currently on pre-order

This product will ship on {{date}}.

By clicking 'Pre-order', I acknowledge that I am purchasing a pre-order item, not an in-stock product, and agree to the Terms & Conditions of the pre-order process.

How to edit the fields appearing on the product's page:

Step 1:

Go to Online store > Themes Library > Click on the 3 dots next to your theme > Edit default theme content

Step 2:

Use the search functionality in the default theme content to search for "pre-order"

Step 3:

Modify the text as per your liking and then hit "Save".
