How to set Preorder Limits?

You can limit how many preorders customers can place by using Shopify’s inventory as the preorder cap. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Enable Preorder for In-Stock Products

In REZ settings, select the option to show preorder on in-stock products.

This allows you to control preorder quantity using inventory instead of unlimited orders.

Step 2: Select Products for Preorder

Choose the specific products that you want to allow preorders for.

Step 3: Set Inventory as the Preorder Limit

In Shopify, set the inventory quantity for each selected product. 👉 This number will be used as the maximum number of preorders customers can place.

Example:

  • Inventory = 10

  • Customers can place up to 10 preorders.

Step 4: Automatic Sold Out When Limit Is Reached

Once all inventory is purchased:

  • The Preorder button will automatically change to “Sold out”

  • Customers will no longer be able to place new preorders


Tips & Best Practices

  • Set a realistic inventory number based on your actual supply capacity.

  • You can increase or decrease the inventory later if your stock plan changes.

  • Make sure inventory tracking is enabled in Shopify for these products.
