About the PreOrder Guard ‑ Preorders
PreOrder Guard helps you keep selling when products run out of stock by letting customers preorder against incoming shipments. The app calculates a safe preorder cap based on your sales history and expected inventory, holding back a buffer for potential supplier delays so you never oversell or promise more units than you can deliver.
Running on Shopify's native purchase options means no theme code is added to your store. The dashboard flags shipments that slip or caps selling through too fast, grading promises at risk before they turn into refunds. You can take deposits upfront and automatically charge the balance later. The app also spots products about to sell out that should be switched to preorder mode, helping you capture sales you'd otherwise lose.
Launched: August 3, 2026
