Sell it before it ships
WPSP Release Day Pre-Orders turns any WooCommerce product, or a single variation, into a pre-order with one tick and a release date. Customers can buy it early, and on release day it becomes a regular product on its own.

Free and open source. Requires WooCommerce.
How it works
One tick, one date
Tick Pre-order on a simple product, or on any variation, and choose the release date. Nothing else to configure.
Buyable at zero stock
A pre-order can be bought whatever its stock status or quantity, so you can sell before the stock arrives.
Releases itself
On the release date the product goes back to normal. No cron job has to run on time for that to be true.
Everything you’d expect from a real plugin
- A clear notice (“Available on {date}”) and a “Pre-order now” button, both editable
- The release date shows in the cart and checkout, and every pre-order line is labelled on the order and in its emails
- Optionally keeps pre-order items and regular items in separate carts, so an in-stock item never waits on a pre-order
- Downloadable pre-orders stay locked until the release date: the download links and the download itself wait for it
- Works with the classic and block-based cart and checkout, and with High-Performance Order Storage
- No third-party services and no personal data stored
- Available in English, Spanish, and French, with more languages on the way
