Pre-Orders for WooCommerce – PreCart

0.7

Release Date: 2026-06-17

• NEW: Stock-Based Preorder / Backorder — products automatically enter preorder mode when they go out of stock. No manual toggling needed.
• NEW: Per-product “Enable Stock-Based Pre-Order” checkbox and “Backorder Limit” field in the product data tab.
• NEW: Global stock trigger setting with configurable out-of-stock preorder message (PreCart > Settings > Stock Trigger).
• NEW: Distinct amber badge style (.wcpo-pre-order-badge–stock) to visually separate stock-triggered preorders from date-based ones.
• NEW: Custom wc-precart order status is now editable in the admin — change items, recalculate totals, and apply actions.
• IMPROVED: {precart_release_date} token in stock messages shows “TBD” when no release date is set.
• FIXED: Preorder counters could double-increment on thank-you page reloads — idempotency guard added.
• FIXED: Duplicated eligibility logic across Product, Cart, and Validation consolidated into a single Helper::is_preorder_product() method.
• FIXED: Preorder/backorder counts now decrement when an order is cancelled or refunded.
• NEW: Admin review prompt with modern card-style design, shown on PreCart pages after 5 days of installation.
• NEW: Dedicated settings-page review notice with a “Leave Review” button only (no dismiss controls) above the PreCart Settings page.
• FIXED: Global preorder mode now correctly displays the global release date instead of the per-product date when the per-product preorder is not enabled.
• FIXED: Product list page “Pre-Order Now” button now also renders for out-of-stock products when stock-based preorder is active.
• FIXED: Infinite recursion / memory-exhaustion bug in woocommerce_product_is_in_stock filter — now uses raw get_stock_status() to avoid the loop.
• IMPROVED: Helpspace support widget link replaced with direct WordPress.org support forum link in admin settings.
