Pre-orders / Pre-purchase
Would be nice if there was a general way to flag products as pre-orders. That would cause downloads to not be available until the product is released.

@Anonymous: I emailed IgniteWoo first and got a response same day, then called the next day at 9pm CST (after I got off work) and someone there answered the phone, and answered all my questions.
So.... why are you posting anonymously? I find your comment suspicious at best.

Has anyone tried the Ignite Woo plugin? I sent them an email and got no response. I then called and the rep. couldnt give me any feedback, demo or anything.

I could have sworn I saw one over on ThemeForest but I can't find it now. While prerusing Google looking for options I noticed that there's one now available at IgniteWoo, but I haven't used it --- still waiting on my customer to give the thumb's up on implementing this feature in their store.

It seems this issue has still not been added unfortunately. The setting of backorders was a pretty good start but I actually have a downloadable product. If I set the product as a backorder the email confirmation still includes the download link (as I expected it would).
So now I will need to find a way to send an email to say something along the lines of 'Thanks for your pre-order, you will be notified whne the product is release'.
Then once the product goes live, the main standard email with download link will be sent to the user.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?

The concern I'd have is that I believe you can't sell an item in the US (legally) without having it in-stock. So if it's a digital download, I don't think you can sell it. It might be okay (not sure) to charge a "reservation fee" to "reserve your copy" but I'm unsure of charging the full price.

I needed this option as well and got around it by using the plugin "WooCommerce Custom Status". I added a "Pre-Ordered" option as a status and simply added to the product attributes a "Pre-Order" option. You can leave the cost as $0.00 or add a deposit style amount.
The customer received an automated email when you change the status to "Pre-Ordered" and then when the product arrives you can filter out any orders in that status and complete them.
Hope this helps some of you out.
