PreOrder is a great approach to determine the product in high demand. You can allow pre-order on your marketplace products and earn even before the product release.

The Multi-vendor Marketplace app for Shopify is now integrated with the Pre-order Controller App.

You can set the default preorder quantity for products.

The sellers can further edit the quantity from the seller panel. Also, disable the preorder on products manually while editing the products.

Note:- This integration works only in the case of Multi-product Checkout & Automatic PreOrder. Also, the Partial Payment won't work in case of the seller's preorder products.

Visit the Configurations>>PreOrder Configuration.

Here, select the PreOrder Type as "Automatic PreOrder" from the drop-down menu and also, Checkout Type as "Multi-product Checkout".

Please Note:- The Multi-vendor PreOrder Integration works only in the case of Multi-product Checkout and Automatic PreOrder.

DEFAULT PREORDER QUANTITY FOR PRODUCTS

As soon as you enable the "Automatic PreOrder", you will get the option to set the default preorder quantity for products that will be applied for each seller's products.

Now, once the seller products get out of stock, preorder will be enabled automatically and the quantity you configure here will be allowed for preorder for each seller's products.

RESTRICT QUANTITIES FOR PREORDER

Now, you can restrict the No. of product quantities allowed to pre-order. For this, please visit the PrOrder Controller app>>Go to Configurations>>PreOrder Configuration.

Here, you can set the product quantity limit that you want to allow for your customers to preorder.

Seller Configuration

On the seller end, the pre-order will be enabled as soon as the seller's products goes out of stock & the pre-order quantities will be default applied to products to be pre-ordered.

Seller's product that goes "out of stock", will be published in your store for preorder. Later, the seller of the product can update the preorder details while editing the product.

The seller needs to log in to the Seller Panel>>Go to Products>>Product Listing>>Click the Edit button of the product having "0" quantity>>proceed to Edit Variant...

Now, In the Variant Details section, the seller will get the option to edit variant.

Now, the seller will go to the "PreOrder Details" section and edit quantity for preorder as well as no of products accepted for preorder.

POINT TO BE NOTED

In case the seller removes the "PreOrder" option from a product in the seller panel, a preorder won't be created automatically for this seller's product.

So, in this case, the admin needs to add a preorder manually to this product.

Restrict Vendors To Create PreOrder

To do this, you need to visit the PreOrder Configuration menu of the app and add vendors whom you want to restrict.
