WooCommerce Pre-Orders

Allow customers to order products before they are available.

Should be possible to change default payment setting

At the moment the default is to ‘pay upfront’, it used to be ‘pay on release’ – a way to choose a global default would be better please 🙂

    Hi gamersathart,

    That’s a reasonable ask — having to change the payment timing per-product instead of setting it once globally adds unnecessary repetitive work.

    Smart Pre-Order Manager for WooCommerce lets you set a global default for whether pre-orders are charged upfront or on release, so you’re not stuck manually switching it per product.

    Happy to help if you have questions about setting it up.
