Manage preorder from a Shopify product page

In your Shopify admin, open Products and select a product. At the top of the page, select More actions, then Pre-order with Waitly.

To work on one variant only, open that variant’s page and use its More actions menu. The window then says “One variant:” and the variant’s name.

If the product isn’t in a policy yet, the window lists your policies under Add this product to a policy, each with an On or Off badge and its ship estimate.

Select the Add to button that names the policy you want. The window confirms it, for example “Added this product to Spring drop’s rule.”

Select New policy, type a Name, and on Growth or Pro pick a date in Ships on (optional). Select Create.

The new policy holds just this product and starts off. Select the Turn on button that names the policy when you’re ready to sell.

For a product already in a policy, the window shows the policy’s name with On or Off, its ship estimate, and a line for each variant, such as Offered, Offered when it sells out, Paused — limit reached or Covered — policy is off.

Select Turn on or Turn off with the policy’s name to switch the whole policy.

Select Remove this product from policy to take just this product out. If a collection or tag in the policy still covers it, Waitly adds an exception for it instead, so the rest of the collection stays in.

Select Open with the policy’s name and in Waitly to edit everything else in the policy editor. Select Done to close the window.
