Shipping pre-orders

Prev Next

To ship pre-ordered products for your business, use the same order routing strategy and shipping options that you use to ship regular orders. The only differences from shipping regular orders are:

  • Pre-orders are not shipped till the date from when the product becomes available to sell. See the tutorial.

  • Fulfilling pre-orders have higher priority over fulfilling regular orders.

NewStore fulfills oldest orders captured in the platform first, and does not prioritize fulfilling pre-orders over regular orders. When products with pre-orders become available to sell, they are automatically shipped based on available inventory.

Important

Be aware that if regular orders are placed online or via NewStore Associate App before pre-orders are routed, these orders will consume some of the inventory that was imported to ship pre-orders.

For more information about how shipping and fulfillment works at NewStore, see the integration guide or the tutorial.
