Pre-orders and inventory

[encsportscards]

We use the pre-order function for a lot of our incoming products. Is there a way to load the full inventory but only make a portion available for the preorder? For example, I am getting 20 of an item in stock, I want to add all 20 but only have 10 available to order until release day.

Hey @encsportscards, thanks for reaching out! That’s a great question.

From what I can see in my demo account, the preorder setting applies to the entire stock, so there isn’t currently a way to make just a portion available.

A possible workaround would be to create a duplicate of the item and set only that version for preorder. @Candlestore , have you come across any other workarounds that might be useful here?

I have thousands of items in inventory and they change daily. I'd rather not have to double the amount of items I have. It would be a nice feature to add with an update.
