Pre-Orders for WooCommerce – PreCart

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

At the current install trend, crossing 50+ in roughly 170 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Works great on simple products, but can’t handle variable products at all. This topic was modified 2 weeks, 3 days ago by eriksb.

   It did exactly what i needed, changes the Add to Cart to a Pre-order button and displays our “ship after” date. It does add a custom shipping status which we didn’t need, we have a fulfillment house that only pulls our “processing” orders because we sell a mix of physical and virtual products. we were able to write a function to automatically move the order status and everything worked exactly like we needed it to.it does add a pre-order banner that conflicted with our sale banner (we’re running a sale during our pre-sales period) but we hid it with some simple CSS. I had everything working the way I wanted to in less than 15 minutes. Make sure you actually set your Pre-Order Limit. It defaults to 0 which I assumed was no limit, but when I placed my second test order it said the sale limit was reached, so I just set it to a ridiculously high number.
