CS-Cart Pre Order Add-on for Handling Pre-Orders

This article introduces the Pre Order add-on that enables CS-Cart to handle product pre-orders.

Prerequisites

An acquaintance consulted me about wanting to move away from managing pre-order orders using Excel for their CS-Cart e-commerce site operations. It seemed like installing the Pre Order add-on would solve this, so I’ll introduce what I verified on the demo site.

CS-Cart Pre Order User Interface

Product Page

PreOrder User side | CS-Cart

What I learned:

  • Can display Preorder Price in the price section
  • Stock availability shows as PREORDER

Add to Cart Page

PreOrder Add to Cart | CS-Cart

There didn’t seem to be any Pre Order specific items.

PreOrder Cart page | CS-Cart

What I learned:

  • Stock availability shows as PREORDER
  • Original price is displayed in Actual Price

CS-Cart Pre Order Admin Interface

Orders Page

PreOrder Admin Orders | CS-Cart

You can confirm that Preorder is displayed in the Status section.

Product Page - Add-ons Tab

PreOrder Admin Product | CS-Cart

In the Preorder section, you can configure all the pre-order product information.

Thoughts

With all these features for $39.00, I think it’s wise to purchase and install the add-on rather than handling Pre Orders through analog operations.

That’s all from the Gemba on handling pre-orders systematically with the CS-Cart Pre Order add-on.
