How to Limit Pre-sale Quantity

You can limit the number of pre-orders by setting a stock limit. Once the product reaches this limit, pre-orders will automatically stop.

1

From the Pre-order tab, go to Pre-order Profiles.

2

In the Limit Stock field, enter the maximum number of pre-orders allowed

3

Save your changes.

When you set a Limit Stock for pre-orders, the value (positive or negative) depends on the condition you choose:

Always Show

  • Pre-order is always available, no matter the stock.

  • You can set the limit as either a positive number (e.g., 50) or a negative number (e.g., -50).

  • Example: If you set 50, customers can only pre-order up to 50 items. If you set -50, customers can pre-order 50 items even when stock is already below zero.

Stock is 0 or less

  • Pre-order works only when the product is out of stock (0) or oversold (negative stock).

  • In this case, the limit must be a negative number.

  • Example: If you set -20, customers can pre-order up to 20 items after the stock goes below zero.

Stock is greater than 0

  • Pre-order works only when the product still has stock available (more than 0).

  • In this case, the limit must be a positive number.

  • Example: If you set 30, customers can only pre-order 30 items while the stock is above 0.
