Pre-orders & Deposits

Take orders for shop products before they come out. Customers pre-order from the product page and pay at checkout with any payment method, in full or a deposit; on the release date the stock is set aside for them, full-payment orders become ordinary orders ready to ship and each deposit's balance is asked for, with a link to pay it. A balance not paid in time cancels the pre-order, keeping or refunding the deposit. Requires the Shop plugin.

Changelog

  1. Version 1.0.16 4 Nov 2026

    - For developers: this plugin now tells the coming Clear test data tool what to do with each of its tables (empty it, keep it, or remove it only with customer accounts). Nothing changes for store owners yet.

  2. Version 1.0.15 30 Oct 2026

    - A pre-order release whose balance is too large to store in one payment is now refused before anything is created, whatever the database's settings.

  3. Version 1.0.14 29 Oct 2026

    - Amharic (አማርኛ) translation, machine-translated (review welcome).
    - Oromo (Afaan Oromoo) translation, machine-translated (review welcome).

  4. Version 1.0.13 26 Oct 2026

    - Adds Thai (ไทย). Machine-translated; review welcome.
    - Japanese translation.

  5. Version 1.0.12 25 Oct 2026

    - Adds Polish (pl) text. Machine-translated.

  6. Version 1.0.11 23 Oct 2026

    - When the store lets customers move a paid order to another address, a pre-order's deposit and balance orders keep theirs: both were priced for the address the pre-order was placed with, and the customer is told to contact the store instead.

  7. Version 1.0.10 23 Oct 2026

    - When a customer edits a saved address that an order or payment still uses, the store now keeps the old address for it and saves the edit as a new one. A pre-order not yet released keeps the address it was paid for. Deleting an address a pre-order uses keeps it for the pre-order.
    - Refunding a pre-order's balance now refunds the deposit's own share: it is no longer cut short, nor does it spend money another add-on is owed back on the deposit order.

  8. Version 1.0.9 22 Oct 2026

    - In a coins-only store, a pre-order deposit or balance for a seller's product is paid from withdrawable coins only; with the store's spend-only choice on "Not accepted", the store's own pre-orders too. Takes effect with kernel 1.1.784.
