Pre-order products using tags
Replace the add-to-cart button with a pre-order button using tags
If you have a product that is not yet ready to be shipped to customers, you can set it up as a pre-order product. Broadcast can replace the add-to-cart button with a pre-order button by using a _preorder
tag.
