⚠️ App combinations that may not work well with Preorder

Selling Plans may become difficult or unsupported when combined with:

• COD preorder flows

• BNPL + preorder

• Bundle apps + preorder

• Subscription apps + preorder

• Deposit / partial payment flows

• Local payment gateway apps

• Custom shipping logic for preorder products

• Mixed cart setups (normal products + preorder + subscription)

Need unsupported payment or app flows?

If you need combinations like COD, subscriptions, bundles, deposits, local gateways, or advanced shipping logic, consider using a preorder method that does not rely on Shopify Selling Plans.
