02 — THE TECHNICAL CHALLENGE

Preorder behaviour touches inventory, product settings, cart and checkout at once. Getting it wrong quietly breaks a merchant's ability to sell, so every rule has to be explicit, reversible and visible in the admin.

The app also has to stay inside Shopify's platform standards — embedded admin patterns, API rate limits, webhook reliability and billing — while remaining simple enough for a merchant to configure in minutes.

03 — ARCHITECTURE SYNTHESIS

Rules, Not Manual Toggles

Preorder state is derived from rules — dates, stock thresholds, product selections — rather than manual per-product switches, with bulk settings for catalogue-wide changes and notifications driven off the same state.
