The short answer
A pre-order lets a customer order a product not in stock now but coming, or one made for them, knowing the delivery date before paying or confirming. It is used for new releases, made-to-order goods and seasons.

Why does Pre-order matter to a seller?
Because it gathers demand before you buy the stock, so you know the quantity you need and selling starts before arrival. Its condition is a plain written date, or cancellations pile up.

Frequently asked questions
Do I take payment upfront for a pre-order?
For a made-to-order or expensive item, paying online cuts cancellations, and ArabyBot Store gives a discount to those who pay online; otherwise WhatsApp confirmation is enough.
What if the supplier is late?
Tell the buyer before the date with a clear message; an announced delay hurts less than a surprise.
Does a pre-order show on Google?
Yes, it reaches Google in the product feed as available to order.
