We are extremely satisfied with this app! Installation and usage are very simple, and the app does exactly what we expect from it. Everything works smoothly without any issues. What really impressed us as well is the support: they respond quickly and always provide clear, friendly assistance.

Installed this for my client, a small business owner who isn't tech savvy and needed a complex split-payment feature. It's been great for her, and the developer has been very responsive.

This was exactly what I needed and the customer support was so helpful throughout, even helping implement changes that catered to my exact needs.

— Wargame Portal

Great app to have for larger stores that maintain stock lists from multiple vendors. We are able to offer pre-order for specific skus and upload quickly to create and maintain. Support is top notch when issues arise. The team is quick to make updates and add features based on needs. Highly recommend!

— Paynes Gray

Tried a few on the Shopify app store. Brilliant app and support has been excellent, thank you Jesse. Great app for managing preorder items more flexibly. The different shipping options shown in the checkout reduces a lot of friction with customers having to wait for orders until the out-of-stock item is fulfilled. Thank you!

— OpulentBeauty

Solid app. Needed some customization but support quality was excellent and is now working perfectly. Thanks JP.

— Sim-Lab

This app solves what we weren't able to solve with any other app... being able to take pre-orders on our site that 1) automatically turned off when stock checked in and 2) played nice with Bundles.app (app we use to sell product bundles). There's been occasional issues as the app updates or our theme updates, but the developer is super quick to respond and figure out the issue and fix it. Highly...

— Bunch Bikes

Great app, excellent support! Ideal for any online store where you need to track inventory requiring backorder management.

— Reaper Robs

Just what the doctor ordered. We're selling a lot of products on backorders and this is a perfect app for a store like ours. Support is friendly and immediate. Highly recommended.

— Macfixit Australia

After trying some apps and getting no response at all to my problem from some developers, I finally ended up with Mercantile Preorder Backstock apps and wow finally... what a service from Jesse. At the moment I'm very busy with other things but Jesse just works behind the scenes...and suggests things that I haven't thought of yet. Pro activity I love it. App has no influence on speed and works fas...

— Sir Georges Luxury Men Store

This App was suggested (by Shopify) as a substitute for lead times per variant using custom meta fields. With lead times changing by the week it's been challenging communicating this to our customers. The BackStop app does that for us. It allows us to provide information on our product page and throughout the purchase process so there are no surprises. It's been working great so far and the custom...

— Livingspace

Sent an email twice to [email protected] no response to a simple question. Wanted to know for one of our stores if it is possible to manage 1000's of products with csv, matrixify or whatever, no response.

— Mijn winkel

kann ich nicht empfehlen. Sehr Kompliziert und Funktioniert nicht

— Garage Parts

Shocking customer support. I had to reach out to Shopify who had to nudge the developers to respond. After one response, I asked my questions and have been waiting to hear back since. Simply not good enough in comparison to your competition.

— EternaCards

Am liebsten würde ich 0 Sterne geben, einfach nur Peinlich und auch eine Frechheit durch den letzten Update wurde die Möglichkeit genommen sein Abo zu beenden, niemanden aber wirklich niemanden kann ich diese App empfehlen.

— Strictly Business Only

Very slow on retrieving new items from the inventory. Quite labour intensive, why it can't be added to the "Add product page" is beyond me. Very confusing as well, could be a lot simpler, over complicated for no real reason. Saying all that, I've tried a few, and this is the best of a bad bunch.

— Test Valley Models.com

Works great and excellent customer service! Much more reasonably priced than the other preorders apps I've found.

— Crimson and Clover Studio

Brilliant app, it's only dropped a star because I can't bulk de-activate pre-orders, and a whole star feels harsh, I'd give 4.5 stars if I could. This is the third pre-order app I've tried, and it's by far the best. This app has two main advantages over others I've tried: the button loads immediately, and the app isn't affecting page load speeds. One of the other apps I tried loaded a script that...

— 20TwentyStore

This app is allowing us to do preorders easily! It's very simple to use and the splitting of orders is exactly what we needed in order to make preorders work for us! Jesse has been great at answering our questions and responds very quickly! We just launched preorders last week and everything seems to be working great for us. Very happy we found this app!
