Pre-order is configured per variant. A product with multiple variants can have some on pre-order and some not.

​
Steps

Configure products in Bloom is the primary editor. You can also edit a single product or variant directly from Shopify’s product page - see From the Shopify product or variant page below.
  1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Bloom.
  2. Go to Pre-order → Configure products.
  3. Find the variants with the search and filter bar - search by title or SKU, or filter by product status, stock level, vendor, tag, product type or collection.
  4. Edit the fields below in the Apply to all row, or on a single product or variant row.
  5. Click Save.
Search, filters and sort stay in the URL, so a reload or shared link opens the same view.

Fields

  • Oversell limit - how many units you’re willing to oversell. Once a variant has this many pre-orders Bloom stops accepting more.
  • Message on PDP - shown under Add to cart on the product page. Typically when you expect the product to ship, e.g. “Ships late July”. Prefixed with your cart line label (default Ships:).
  • Message in cart - shown on each line item in the cart, on the checkout pre-order banner, and on the order status page. Usually a shorter version of the product page message.
  • Ships on - the expected ship date for the variant. Separate from the date pre-order opens.
  • Show pre-order after - if set, pre-order only goes live after this date & time. Times use your shop’s timezone. See Schedule a pre-order.
Clear a field to remove a per-variant override. The variant falls back to your store-wide defaults at Apps → Bloom → Pre-order → Content.
On shops with two or more markets, the Market overrides dropdown sets a different oversell limit, messages and dates per market. See Pre-order by market.

​
From the Shopify product or variant page

Edit a single product or variant inline from Shopify’s own product page - no jump to the Bloom admin.
  1. In Shopify admin, open the product (or one of its variants).
  2. In the Purchase options card, find Bloom: Pre-order and click Manage.
  3. Edit the same fields listed above.
  4. Click Save.
  • On a variant page, edits apply to that variant only.
  • On a product page, edits apply to every variant of the product at once. Open the variant page for per-variant edits.
Pre Order Product Editor
Use this for one-off edits while you’re already working in a product. Use Configure products in Bloom when you want to bulk update many variants at once.

​
Bulk edit by CSV

Export variants from Configure products, edit the file, then import it back. See Products CSV.

​
Storefront defaults

Message placement (in Pre-order → Design), the cart line label, and the checkout purchase option name are store-wide - see Pre-order settings.

​
When pre-order shows on the storefront

A variant must meet all of these conditions:
  • Bloom is enabled in theme
  • Pre-order is enabled on the product - Bloom manages Shopify’s Continue selling when out of stock switch for you
  • Oversell limit is set in Bloom and is greater than zero
  • The number of pre-orders is less than the oversell limit
  • Variant is out of stock in Shopify
  • It is after the Scheduled date & time [Only applies if set]
