<hr />
<p>Gives you a simple way to control backorders across your WooCommerce catalog without touching product data in the database.</p>
<p>Choose a global backorder policy for your store, apply it to the entire catalog or only selected product categories, and fine-tune how backordered items appear on the storefront. You can also let individual products opt out when you need an exception.</p>
<p>Built for stores that want more control and less clutter, this plugin helps you keep your backorder policy consistent, visible, and easy to manage.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>WHAT DOES IT HELP YOU DO</h2>
<p>• Set backorder behavior globally in one place<br />
• Apply rules to the whole catalog or selected categories<br />
• Choose how backorders behave: Allow, Allow but notify, or Disable<br />
• Keep important products visible even when WooCommerce hides out-of-stock items<br />
• Let specific products ignore the global rule<br />
• Restrict settings access by user role<br />
• Adjust filter priority when you need to win conflicts with other inventory plugins</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>WHY MERCHANTS USE IT</h2>
<p>Instead of editing products one by one, you can manage backorder behavior at the store level and keep your product catalog easier to maintain. That means fewer manual changes, a cleaner admin experience, and more consistent storefront behavior.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>BUILT FOR A NATIVE WOOCOMMERCE WORKFLOW</h2>
<p>• Settings are managed inside <em>WooCommerce > Settings</em><br />
• Product-level opt-out is available on the product edit screen<br />
• Overrides run at runtime, so your admin product data stays native and editable</p>

Backorder Manager: Global and Category Rules

<p>Control backorders across your WooCommerce store from one clean settings screen. Set global rules, target specific categories, and keep product-level exceptions in place without changing your product data.</p>

<section class="plugin-description">A complete solution for managing warranties, claims, order protection, and refunds — all within WooCommerce.<br />

Email alerts and claim tracking ensure a fast, transparent experience for both sides.</p>
