Preorder Limit

Stoq allows merchants to set pre-order limits for their products, giving you control over the quantity available for pre-order. This feature ensures that you can manage your inventory effectively by specifying the maximum number of units you wish to sell as pre-orders. This feature helps prevents overselling, allowing you to maintain your inventory flow well.

What Happens Once the Pre-order Limit is Reached



Once the pre-order limit is reached, the app will automatically stop showing the pre-order button, and a Sold Out button will appear instead. This ensures that customers cannot place pre-orders for that product after the limit has been reached, clearly indicating that the pre-order quantity is no longer available. This feature helps prevents overselling, allowing you to maintain a reliable inventory flow.

How to Add a Pre-order Limit


To set a pre-order limit for your products, follow these steps:

Navigate to 'Preorders' from the left sidebar of the app.
Under Offers, select the Preorder Offer and click Edit.


In the "Product" tab, locate the "Limit" field designated for the Quantity Limit. Here, you can enter the maximum number of units you wish to make available for pre-order for each product.



Save Changes: Once you have set the desired limit, click next button and click "Save" on the next tab to apply the changes.

Additional Information:



You can reset the pre-order limit by clicking the "Reset ↻" icon , which will clear the units sold. To remove the number from the limit field, click the "Delete ⌫ " icon next to the box.
