Purple Dot | Trusted Pre‑Order

Purple Dot helps merchants manage pre-orders with automated tools and customer-friendly features. This basic self-service version will be decommissioned on February 25th, 2026. The app allows you to select products for pre-order and set estimated shipping dates. When stock reaches zero in Shopify, the Add to Cart button automatically changes to Pre-order with clear messaging. You can charge customers in full upfront, use split payment options, or charge later while staying FTC compliant. Customers get self-service tools to cancel or amend their pre-orders, plus email updates on order status. The app includes automated backorder functionality and supports mixed carts with both in-stock and pre-order items. If you expect to process $500k+ in pre-order GMV over the next 12 months, contact sales@getpurpledot.com to learn about the enterprise version with additional capabilities.
