# Configure a pre-order product

> Enable pre-order on a Shopify variant in Bloom and set its oversell limit, product page message, cart and checkout message, and scheduled launch date.

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

## Steps

The Bloom Products page 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](#from-the-shopify-product-or-variant-page) below.

1. In Shopify admin, open **Apps → Bloom**.
2. Go to **Products**.
3. Select a product, then a variant.
4. Edit the fields below at the list, product, or variant level.
5. Click **Save**.

## 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.
* **Schedule pre-order** - if set, pre-order will only be available after this date & time. See [Schedule a pre-order](/bloom/pre-order/schedule).

<Tip>
  Clear a field to remove a per-variant override. The variant falls back to your store-wide defaults at **Apps → Bloom → Content → Pre-order**.
</Tip>

## 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, click **Bloom**.
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.

<Tip>
  Use this for one-off edits while you're already working in a product. Use the Bloom Products page when you want to bulk update many variants at once.
</Tip>

## Storefront defaults

Message placement, the cart line label, and the checkout purchase option name are store-wide - set them in [Pre-order settings](/bloom/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 (which includes **Continue selling when out of stock**)
* 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]
