**Question:**  
I’m working on a website and my client want to have a pre-order option when products are out of stock. Currently, when a customer buys a product during pre-order they will pay the total amount for the item during the purchase moment. However, my client would like their customers to pay 50% when they’re making the purchase and then the other 50% would be paid after the product is back to stock and ready to be shipped. Is this possible?

I have tried to look through articles and on the store set up page itself but couldn’t find an answer yet.

**Secondary Question:**  
Is it possible for me to turn on pre-orders for all store products at once or do I need to do this individually (one by one)? My client has over 1000 products so I **really** would prefer not to do this one by one.

**Product:**  
This website was created with Wix Editor. The question is specifically about Pre-orders on Wix Stores

I do not think Wix offers that behavior natively, but this is definitely possible using custom code

Not a native feature that can be automated.

Most of my clients that require a small deposit add the deposit price in Wix Stores. They add a description explaining that there will be a secondary payment. And then they use Wix Invoices to send a payment request.

Recently, Wix Stores allows editing orders … but I do not know any client that uses this feature so it is unknown what the limits on that.

The earlier answer still holds. Stores has no deposit at checkout, and Wix’s feature request for it is collecting votes.

Without an app, you sell a “50% deposit” product and send a Wix Invoice for the rest when the pre-order ships. That works for a few orders a month. The order is for a placeholder rather than the real item, and you chase every balance yourself.

With an app, the buyer orders the real product and pays 50% inside the normal checkout, and the rest stays open with a payment link and reminders. I built Deposits & Partial Payments for this case. It has a free plan.

Velo can do it too with a custom checkout, but that needs a developer and the second half is still manual. I compared all three with costs here: [How to take a deposit on Wix Stores (2026) · sitething.at](https://sitething.at/deposits/how-to-take-a-deposit-on-wix-stores)
