This short video walks you through the pre-order feature in Farmhand — building a sale with its own delivery dates and locations, adding products in bulk, publishing it to your shop, and tracking what you've sold. You can follow along:

Start with your products

Create the products you want to offer for pre-order on your Products page first, the same way you'd create any other product. The sale itself just points at products that already exist.

Create a pre-order sale

Go to Settings → Shop → Pre-order Sales. From here you can create a new sale or edit an existing one. For a new sale:

1. Give it a name.
2. Select the dates you want to deliver the pre-ordered products.
3. Select the locations or delivery zones where you'll deliver them.
4. Select the products.
5. Click Save.

Add products in bulk

You don't have to pick products one at a time. From your Products page:

1. Filter to the products you want and select them.
2. In the bottom menu, choose Add to pre-order sale and pick the sale by name.

You'll be redirected automatically to the sale page with those products already added.

Review & publish

Once saved, the sale page shows you everything in one view — your product list, your fulfillment options, and the date range. When it looks right, click Publish.

What customers see

• A banner appears at the top of your shop announcing the pre-order. Clicking it takes them straight to the available products.
• Pre-order products carry a blue Pre-order badge — both on the banner page and throughout your full shop.
• At checkout, the items are marked as pre-order again, and customers choose their fulfillment: any location you set, and any date in your range that matches that location.

NOTE:

Any time someone orders a pre-order product, it creates a separate retail order — it never gets added to their subscription order. That keeps your pre-order sale cleanly distinct from your regular subscription fulfillment.

Track what you've sold

Once a sale has orders, a View Orders button appears on the sale page. It opens in a new tab (so you don't lose your place) with the filters already applied: your fulfillment date range, your pre-order products, and retail orders only. Easy way to see how many of each you've sold.
