Customers will get a zip folder and they have to extract the contents of this zip folder on their system. The extracted folder has an src folder, inside the src folder you have the app folder. You need to transfer this app folder into the Magento 2 root directory on the server as shown below.

After the successful installation, you have to run these commands in the Magento 2 root directory:

Here the admin will configure the module for his products. Admin configuration settings will apply to the admin’s product only. For seller products, sellers need to set their configuration settings.

Admin can select the PreOrder Type as Percent payment or Complete Payment.

In case the payment type is set as percent payment then the customer will pay the set percentage first while pre-ordering the product and then when the product will be in-stock will pay the remaining amount to complete their purchase.

In the case of complete payment when the customer pays the complete payment he will get his PreOrder product only when the item is in stock. After that, it would be shipped automatically by the admin.

In the case of Percent Payment PreOrder type, the admin will set amount for PreOrder. Using this field admin can accept percent payment for preorder. For e.g If the price of the product is $500 and percent payment accept for preorder is set as 30 then buyer can pay $150 with preorder.
