How to process preorders in StockShare as a Retailer

General notes:

• StockShare Preorder functionality provides for a dropship order where the supplier inventory is not currently in stock however available at a later date.
• The Preorder pricing model works the same way as general dropship orders.
• The Preorder retailer payment through Stockshare is processed immediately after the order is received (in contrast to general dropship orders, where payment is locked when the order is received and processed when the supplier ships the order), with the funds held in escrow in the StockShare account until the supplier ships the order.
• There are no reminders and auto-cancellation processes for preorders, unlike standard orders. Noting at any time retailers can engage with suppliers on the pre-order product in the messaging section of the order.
• If the system receives a dropship order with both preorder and general products, it will create two separate orders.

As a Retailer, you can publish preorder products in StockShare following the same process you usually would (publishing process here). 

You can also filter these preorder products in "Customer orders" on the left panel in StockShare, and then locate "Preorders" on the far right as seen below:
