How Do I Add a Preorder on Squarespace?

Last updated on December 28, 2022 @ 7:10 pm

Preorders are a great way to generate excitement and buzz for your upcoming product launch. They also allow you to get a sense of how much interest there is in your product and how many units you should produce.

Adding a preorder on Squarespace is easy and only takes a few minutes. Here’s how:

    1. Log in to your Squarespace account and go to the page where you want to add the preorder button.

    2. In the left sidebar, click “Commerce,” then “Products.”

    3. Click the product you want to add a preorder for. If you haven’t created the product yet, click “Add Product.”

    4. Under “Inventory & Pricing,” select “Preorder” from the “Stock Level” drop-down menu.

    5. Enter the date when the product will be available in the “Release Date” field. This is the date when customers will be charged and the product will ship.

    6. If you want, enter a message in the “Preorder Message” field that will be displayed on the product page. This is a great place to let customers know when they can expect the product to ship.

    7 Click “Save.”

Your preorder is now set up and customers can start placing orders!

PRO TIP: Preorders are not currently available on Squarespace. We recommend checking back periodically to see if this feature has been added. In the meantime, you can use our workaround to create a preorder system on Squarespace.
