Pre-orders don’t show up in the reporting, whether the order was paid upfront or pay upon release. Both “pay upfront” and “pay upon release” products/orders have the same order status of “Pre-Ordered”. I can see how this makes reporting tricky, as in one case money has been received, but not for the other.
But I think we should do something for reporting in this area, maybe even add an extra reporting tab.

Hi,
That’s a real accounting gap — treating “paid upfront” and “pay upon release” pre-orders identically in reporting hides the fact that revenue has actually landed for one and not the other, which matters for cash flow visibility.
Smart Pre-Order Manager for WooCommerce includes reporting that distinguishes between paid and pending pre-order revenue, so you can see actual collected funds separately from amounts still owed.
Happy to help if you have questions about setting it up.
