Store-wide pre-order behaviour lives at Apps → Bloom → Pre-order → Settings. Product page placement lives in Pre-order → Design, next to the styles for the same element. These apply to every product unless a per-variant override is set - see Configure a pre-order product.

​
Message placement

Where the pre-order message appears relative to your theme’s Add to cart button.
  1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Bloom.
  2. Go to Pre-order → Design.
  3. Under Product page, open Message.
  4. Pick a Position.
  5. Click Save.
Position setting in the Message group on the Design tab
  • Default
  • Above ATC block
  • Below ATC block
  • Inside ATC block: Before button
  • Inside ATC block: After button
  • Inside ATC block: After all buttons
  • Inside button: Before text
  • Inside button: After text
The Button group has its own Position for the pre-order label: Replace button text, Before button text or After button text.
The Design preview always shows the default placement. Click Live store to see your change on a real product page before you save.
If Bloom can’t find your buy button, set a custom selector under Apps → Bloom → Settings → Advanced. See Add to cart identification.

​
Cart placement

Under Pre-order → Settings → Layout & positioning → Cart:
  • Drawer - where the cart notice sits in the cart drawer.
  • Page - where the cart notice sits on the cart page.
  • Line item - where the pre-order message sits on each cart line, or Hidden.

​
Checkout

Under Pre-order → Settings → Cart & checkout → Purchase option.
  • Enable purchase option at checkout - on by default. Pre-order lines carry Shopify’s pre-order purchase option (selling plan), so checkout shows the native Pre-order name. Shopify blocks gift cards and store credit on any checkout carrying a purchase option - even a pre-order paid in full. Turn this off to sell pre-orders as back orders instead, so customers can pay with gift cards and store credit.
Turning it off changes little for you. Orders lose Shopify’s native Pre-order plan name at checkout, but Bloom’s cart labels, order tagging, fulfilment holds, order notes and emails all keep working. Existing cart lines drop the plan on the next cart sync. Shopify can no longer split orders - see Splitting orders.

​
Markets

Under Pre-order → Settings → Auto-release orders.
  • Share inventory across markets - off by default. Treats every market as one pre-order pool with a single oversell limit. Leave off to give each market its own stock and limit. See Pre-order by market.

​
Advanced

Optional content under Apps → Bloom → Pre-order → Content. Defaults work for most stores.
  • Cart line label (under Cart messages) - the prefix shown before every pre-order message on the product page and on each cart line. Default Ships, so messages read e.g. “Ships: late July”.
  • Purchase option name (under Button text) - the label shown under each pre-order line in Shopify checkout. Default Pre-order.
