Pre-order
Sometimes situations arise when you do not have the item you need in stock. And customers cannot always wait for the necessary item to be in stock again.
To avoid this, we created a module that will allow you to offer customers not only the fact of having the product, but also the pre-order.
Module Smart Pre-order
In CS-Cart there is an option to sell goods with zero balance. However, you have encountered a problem that not every product is available to the buyer, and the availability of the product needs to be communicated urgently. Our module adds to each product a parameter indicating whether the product is currently in stock, and can help you indicate to the customer that the product is currently out of stock. The module also allows customizing the product with the option to notify the customer when it becomes available again.
With the module's built-in tools, it supports export and import of the product's actual availability, which will allow automation of the process. This will help to always keep the product's availability status up to date in an automated system.
In its open API, you can also specify that this module will help you increase sales by 20%!

Default Showcase Settings - To check or not to check the Product available from supplier checkbox in the properties of the new product.
It is also necessary to allow a negative amount of goods on the site. To do this, go to Settings - General and check the appropriate box.
Basic setting
The main setting is carried out in the product settings. On the Products - Products page, select the required product and go to the General tab in its settings.
Find the Product available from supplier setting. A checked box means that the product is available from the supplier and there is an opportunity to order it promptly.
Find the Out of stock actions setting and set the Sign up for notifications value.
The logic of the module operation depending on the stock of goods is presented in the table.
| Available on the site | Available from supplier | Message to the client |
| yes | yes | you can order more |
| yes | no | you can only buy leftovers |
| no | yes | can be ordered |
| no | no | can't buy |
The message to the client can be changed at your own discretion.
Automation of the availability of goods in the warehouse
If you have a leftover file from a supplier, you can automate the process. To do this, you need to create an import template. On the Administration - Import data - Products page add a new import.
On the preset editing page, specify the name of the template and the file to import, in CSV format. Save the template.
Now go to the Field Mapping Table tab and select the appropriate fields. For the field with the availability of goods at the supplier, specify the Actuality() property. In the Modifier column, specify the one we need, for example, if you want to show the customer that the product is in stock when the supplier has more than 200 units, then the modifier for the Actuality() line will be case ($ value = "& gt; 200", "Y"). After saving, you can use this template manually or automatically using cron.
