Boosting Sales with Pre-Orders

Whether your product is temporarily out-of-stock or you鈥檙e planning to launch a new item, you don鈥檛 have to hide products from your customers anymore. Now you can let them instead.

Pre-orders are especially helpful for forecasting demand and seeing what products you need to stock up on. You can use pre-orders when you鈥檙e running a crowdfunding campaign, planning on dropping some new merch or going to pay the manufacturer or supplier before they send the product to your warehouse.
