Pre-Order
We released the first part of the pre-order functionality in Sana Commerce Cloud 1.61. These were the changes in the core Sana product. Until now, you could not use it because the necessary changes were not yet available in Microsoft Dynamics GP. Now we have released the second part of this feature in Microsoft Dynamics GP, and you can use it if you upgrade Sana.
Imagine that the products your customers want are currently out of stock, and they check your webstore from time to time in the hope that the product will be available again. This situation can be easily avoided with our brand-new pre-order feature. Now you can allow your customers to reserve products before they are available. In this way, customers will be absolutely sure that the desired purchase will reach them once it is back in stock.
The pre-order feature can be also very useful if you plan to sell a new product in your webstore that has not yet been released or produced but will be available soon.
It can be very beneficial for you as the store owner as well. With pre-order, you can reduce financial risk and it can help you to better understand the demand for specific types of products.
If you want to make certain products available for pre-order, you can manage this in Microsoft Dynamics GP. We use the standard quantity shortage with back order options functionality in Microsoft Dynamics GP to allow customers to pre-order products.
