Prestashop Marketplace Preorder

In an online marketplace, the products can go out of stock due to a number of reasons. When a customer visits the store and finds out that the product he wanted is out of stock. In such a case, the customer will probably leave your store without making the purchase and start looking on other online stores to get the desired products resulting in a loss of sales.

Thanks to Prestashop Marketplace Preorder, your sellers can now sell the products that are out of stock or not yet launched. With this extension, the marketplace sellers can offer products for sale that they don’t have in stock at the moment but will be in stock at a specified date.

Improve the user experience by notifying the customers of the exact available date on the preorder product page. Also, the sellers can offer the customers to reserve the product in advance by paying a fraction of the preorder product amount with a partial payment option.

Letting sellers add preorders on their unavailable and upcoming products will help them attract potential customers and boost sales.

Note:- 1) For installing this module you need to install Prestashop Advanced Multi Vendor Marketplace module first.
2) Prestashop Marketplace Preorder module is compatible with MultiShop and PrestaShop version 8.x.x.
