What is a Pre-Order Form?
A pre-order form accepts customer orders for products not yet available. It captures demand, secures revenue, and creates anticipation for launches.
Clear communication of estimated availability and payment terms sets appropriate expectations. Cancellation policies protect both parties.
Pre-order data helps with production planning and inventory decisions based on actual demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I charge full price or deposit?
Depends on product and timeline. Deposits reduce commitment; full payment maximizes revenue. Consider refundable deposits.
How do I communicate delays?
Proactive updates via email. Be honest about new timelines. Offer cancellation option. Apologize and potentially compensate.
What if demand exceeds supply?
First-come-first-served usually. Waitlist for overflow. Consider additional production. Manage disappointment carefully.
What cancellation policy is fair?
Full refund until X days before ship. Restocking fee after production. Be clear upfront. Honor refunds for significant delays.
When should pre-orders open?
30-90 days before availability is common. Longer for major launches. Build buzz before opening. Close when reaching capacity.
