Frequently Asked Pre-order Questions
Does this require a PreProduct account?
Yes, you』ll be prompted to create an account after opening PreProduct from your WordPress admin.
Will this affect my existing WooCommerce functionality?
No, the plugin is designed to enhance your existing store without interfering with normal WooCommerce operations. It only adds pre-order capabilities to your products.
How does the plugin detect which products should have pre-order functionality?
Yes, the plugin automatically tags eligible add-to-cart buttons so that PreProduct understands which products they belong to. You can then list products for pre-order via the PreProduct app (either manually or via automation).
What happens when I deactivate or uninstall the plugin?
When deactivated, all PreProduct functionality is removed from your store (script and buy button attributes).
When uninstalled, the plugin sends a notification to PreProduct and cleans up all stored data.
Is the plugin compatible with my theme?
Yes, the plugin works with any properly coded WooCommerce-compatible theme. It uses standard WooCommerce hooks and filters to add functionality.
Please get in touch if the integration isn』t working as expected with your particular theme.
How does the plugin handle different environments (development/staging/production)?
The plugin automatically detects your environment and uses appropriate endpoints. Development environments (localhost, .test, .local domains) connect to PreProduct』s development servers, while production sites connect to production servers.
Are there any performance impacts?
The plugin is designed for minimal performance impact. The PreProduct script is loaded with the defer attribute and only runs after your page has finished loading.
