SimplexIS Woocommerce Backordered Products

This Wordpress plugin will create a submenu page, showing a table of all backordered products in Woocommerce.

YoOhw Studio

Pre-Orders for WooCommerce helps store owners sell products before they are available by adding a dedicated <code>On preorder</code> stock status to WooCommerce products and variations.
Use it to show preorder availability dates, replace the add-to-cart button with a preorder button, display preorder information across product pages, carts, checkout, orders, and emails, and notify customers when preorder items become available.
The plugin is built for stores that need a simple WooCommerce preorder workflow without turning every product into a complex reservation system.
