<h2>Provide Product Documents, such as Assembly Instructions or Videos, to Customers Before Purchase</h2>
<p>Everyone wants to sell more, and one proven way to make it happen is to reduce barriers to purchase. For many customers, the more information they have for a product up-front, the fewer excuses they have to avoid buying. Giving customers access to product documentation can help reduce barriers to purchase, or just give you a slick way to display product information to customers. Product Documents can display documentation below the product short description, in the sidebar using our widget, or anywhere you can use shortcodes!</p>

<h3>How can I use Product Documents?</h3>
<p>Want to sell an ebook? Many times, offering sample chapters can be a helpful way to engage readers and encourage them to buy (why else would Amazon gives away chapters for the Kindle edition of books for free?). You can now list sample chapters, sample images, and more in a sophisticated front-end display with virtually no effort.</p>
<p>You can give customers technical specifications or assembly instructions for your products one click by adding documents to your products. Maybe you spent tons of money printing user manuals that many customers end up losing or throwing away? Now you can go completely paperless! How about including a card when shipping products that directs users to your site, where you can feature user manuals and warranties for products without worrying about rising printing costs again? Centralize all of your documents to save on printing costs, reduce barriers to purchase, and help make them easy to find for customers.</p>
<p>Do you link to manufacturers specs or post how-to videos on YouTube? You can link product documents to a URL to get customers the information they need!</p>

<h3>Super-Easy User Interface</h3>
<p>Adding new menus, tabs, and files is simple from the product page. Under <strong>Product Data</strong>, you can add as many files or URLs and as many menu tabs/section as you need to so customers have all of the information they need to make a purchase. Imagine having installation instructions, links to helpful videos, technical specifications, and warranty information all in one, easy-to-use menu!</p>
<figure id="attachment_152603" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-152603" style="width: 550px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/woocommerce-product-documents-editor.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-152603" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/woocommerce-product-documents-editor.png" alt="WooCommerce Product Documents Tab and Document Addition" width="550" height="365" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-152603" class="wp-caption-text">Backend: Adding Tabs and Documents</figcaption></figure>
<h3>Use shortcodes to embed Product Documents menus anywhere!</h3>
<p>You can use the advanced shortcode to embed the Product Documents menu for the defined product on a page of your choosing. <strong>How do these shortcodes help you?</strong> First, if you have multiple products sharing the same product documents, you can simply copy/paste this shortcode onto every product page that will use those documents. Or, if you want to display the product documents in a blog post, or on a separate page of your website, you can use this shortcode to reference the product documents for the product you need.</p>
<p>The basic shortcode will embed the documentation menu anywhere you put the shortcode on the corresponding product page. We recommend using the <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-tab-manager/">WooCommerce Tab Manager</a> to put documentation in a custom product tab:</p>

<h3>Use Widgets to Diplay Documentation on Product Pages</h3>
<p>The Product Documents widget will allow you to put the product documentation on the corresponding product page for all products, with the menu name of your choice. This widget will respond to show the documents for the product being viewed, and can be used instead of showing documents in the short description.</p>

<p>The Product Documents extension lets you <strong>publish all documents</strong> customers need, such as installation instructions or technical specification all in one place, and can <strong>help you save</strong> on printing costs by adding these documents to your product pages. Providing more information before purchase also helps to <strong>reduce barriers to purchase</strong>: you can reference outside <strong>URLs</strong> or <strong>post links</strong> to helpful videos or reviews, and help make documents <strong>easy to find</strong> for customers so they have all of the information needed to purchase.</p>

<h2>Sell Pre-Orders for Products and Services</h2>
<p>The pre-order experience is fully customizable and supports both pre-orders charged up front and upon release. If you’re using a supported payment gateway, pre-orders can be charged upon release without the customer returning and paying for their order.</p>

<h2>Easy pre-order customization</h2>
<p>Control how pre-order products are displayed using built-in settings for button text, product messages, and more. Display the time remaining until a product is available anywhere on your site using a countdown time shortcode with support for customization via CSS.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="WooCommerce Pre-Orders Settings" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/woocommerce-pre-orders-settings.png" alt="WooCommerce Pre-Orders Settings" /></p>
<h2>Easy Pre-Order Management</h2>
<p>Pre-Orders can be charged in two ways, upfront or upon release. When charging a pre-order up front, the customer pays the entire pre-order amount during the initial checkout.</p>
<p>When charging a pre-order upon release, the customer’s payment method is charged when the product is released (either by reaching the availability date, if set, or manually within the Pre-Orders admin) when using a supported gateway. If a supported gateway is not available, the customer will receive an email when the pre-order is released, prompting them to come back to the store and pay for their pre-order.</p>
<p>All pre-orders can be managed through a dedicated page. From here, the admin can delay, complete, cancel, or email selected pre-orders or use the actions section to perform the same actions for all pre-orders for a given product.</p>
<h2>Automatically Charge Pre-Orders Upon Release</h2>
<p>When you use one of the <a href="https://woocommerce.com/document/pre-orders/#supported-gateways-for-automatic-payments">supported payment gateways</a>, you can automatically charge your customer’s payment method when the pre-order is available. All gateways support manual payments for pre-orders, where the customer is sent an email asking them to come back and pay for their pre-order when it’s released.</p>
