Great extension with fast support

100%

The extension works well and developer is ready to fix any problems you may have along the way. I would appreciate if I could set up the date when products will be available and be able to sort preorders according to that date. This is the only feature I am missing. It saved us hours of our time already.

Perfect for our needs and has helped increase orders

100%

We have customers that like to order products in advance and in quantity to save money on shipping. They are not in a hurry and this extension helps us greatly in filling their needs. Support was very prompt in helping us integrate it into a custom template and quickly added some suggested features for us that made it immediately even more useful. We are staying with Amasty first for any extension needs as support is obviously not an issue. Thank you!

Useful product, but lacks some options

80%

Pre order runs quite well, everything that is written in the description is true. But if amasty added the option of splitting payment, the module would become priceless for me. As it's not very convenient for customers to pay for both in stock and out of stock products.

Highly recommended

Due to this app we've greatly reduced the number of chat questions from customers who didn't know when out of stock items would be in stock. It's very easy to configure even without special tech skills. Has been running on 1.9.1 Magento version for 2 months already - everything works perfectly!

Doesn't work with out of stock products

80%

The module works almost as it's described, but to enable preorders for out of stock items one have to specify that the product is IN stock and at least a zero value, but not Out of stock. Before finding this out I spent a couple of hours trying to setup preorder option for the products that were currently out of stock.

Decent quality for the money I paid

Works fine for preorders and backorders as well. It doesn't allow splitting payments and it's a huge minus, but there are some separate extensions for this purpose out there. The installation went quickly and the navigation is intuitive - very easy to set up.

ok

Before using this extension I added preorders features with code but needed to make changes after each upgrade of Mag ento. So I decided to go for an extension. This one is ok, nothing special, I think such extensions from different companies are all the same.

Pre Order does what it says

100%

We've tried several solutions, using plugins or personal scripts for backorder/preorder messages and warnings and things often became quite complicated. This little Magento App did exactly what it said and made this part easy to manage, especially since quite a few of our products are not always on stock. On top of all we had a little issue that was solved with a quick customization free of charge by the developer. Thumbs up and Thanks again!

One of the best on the market

100%

We have tried several extensions of this kind, and this one came out the best to fit our needs. We literally needed such functionality as we have economic crisis in our country and it’s a pain dealing with suppliers, this way we can make prepayments and still deliver products. Also I have a feature suggestion – automated email notifications on changing the status of a preorder. For now we send them manually which can take time, or maybe we will figure out a way how to send automated messages until this feature is implemented. The last update was in 2014 summer, I’m hoping there still will be more updates. Aunarida Magento Connect

Great extension, even better support

100%

The extension works very well in communicating to your customers that the product is a pre-order/back-order item. Since our site has a special theme with additional design, they offered to customize it for us for a very reasonable fee. They communicated very well and was able to meet all our demands, even if it's little issues. I can't say enough about their service. It speaks volumes when our site has over 20 of their extensions. Highly recommended extension and company.

Blows AITOC Preorder Out Of The Water

100%

This extension is better than AITOC's extension. It allows negative values. Preorders and preorder messaging can be automated so that once product quantity goes to zero, it automatically turns on. I love it. Just wish Amasty would add the option to display some big global warning at checkout that will warn customers if a preorder item is in their cart. i.e. "YOUR ENTIRE ORDER WON'T SHIP UNTIL THIS PREORDER IS IN STOCK" Thanks Amasty. Great solution to a problem we have faced for a long time.

Extension indispensable

Magento gère très mal les possibilités de BackOrder. Avec cette extension, on peut résoudre ce problème natif. Amasty est comme toujours "très Pro" et réactif. Ils ont tout de suite corrigé un problème rencontré. Je vous recommande ce module et cet éditeur. Vous ne serez jamais déçu.
