Pre-order template
Product page template
Theme retirement Ira is no longer available on the Shopify theme store. Theme support and updates for current users will end after May 18, 2024. Learn more here.
Update** |** This template was added in v4.7.0 on November 10, 2022. See our change log and theme update guide to learn more.
The Product pre-order template replaces the "Add to cart" button label with "Pre-order" to let customers know that your product is not yet ready to ship.
This guide explains how to use and customize the pre-order template.
Note | Clicking "Pre-order" will still charge the customer on checkout. Deferred payment or other pre-order features will require an app or customization. We recommend consulting a Shopify Expert ↗ or Task Husky ↗ for any customizations to the default theme.
Quick setup
To start using the pre-order template:
Set up your products to continue selling when out of stock
