What is WooCommerce backorder?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 10:01 pm

When a customer places an order and indicates that they would like the product to arrive in a certain quantity, WooCommerce automatically creates a backorder for the product. When the order arrives, WooCommerce will automatically remove the backorder from the order and add it to the stock inventory.

This way, the customer always receives their ordered product, and WooCommerce can manage inventory more efficiently.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using WooCommerce backorder, please be aware that there are some risks involved.

WooCommerce backorder can be a great way to increase inventory levels and keep customers happy, but it can also lead to stock outs and customer dissatisfaction if not managed properly.

Make sure you have a solid plan in place for how you will handle backorders, including communication with customers, before you launch this feature on your site.

WooCommerce backorder is a great way to manage inventory and keep your customers happy. Keep in mind that backorders are created automatically, so you will need to keep an eye on your order processing to make sure that everything goes smoothly.
