What if a customer's order includes multiple pre-order products with different ship dates?Updated a year ago

Great question!

Purple Dot defaults to shipping multiple pre-order items together.

Here is an example:

If you click 'Release for fulfilment' for waitlist A, but not for waitlist B (because the stock has not arrived yet), pre-orders containing items from both waitlists will have status 'Some items still on waitlist' in Purple Dot, and that order will still have On Hold status in Shopify.

Once both waitlists are marked as 'Release for fulfilment' the On Hold status for those pre-orders in Shopify is released and the order is fulfilled as normal.
