The Pre-order feature is essential for online businesses to boost revenue by replacing the standard Out-of-Stock notification and testing demand before owners officially release a product.

This feature only works with Minimog version from v2.4.0 and above.

If your theme version is older than v2.4.0, kindly update the theme to the latest version.
