Pre-orders
Discover how Cariuma manages pre-orders with HotWax Commerce, including order capture, cancellations, and reporting for effective inventory management.
List pre-orders
Pre-orders are facilitated through HotWax Commerce using manually uploaded purchase orders from Cariuma. HotWax Commerce tags parent products and populates metafields for pre-order product variants in Shopify.
Order Capture
HotWax Commerce imports all orders from Shopify. During the import process, the system identifies orders containing pre-order items by verifying their memberhsip in the pre-order or backorder category. After order creation, a batch job adds relevant tags and notes in Shopify to communicate the expected ships-from date.
Order tag and notes jobs

Add backorder tags on orders
This system data is also required to populate the text in the tags on Shopify
Upload promise dates on new orders only. This job does not sync updated promise dates if they change
This system property data is required for all Shopify Configs where promise dates need to be added onto orders when they're created.

Order Cancellations
Initiating the cancellation process in Cin7 takes precedence, with subsequent synchronization to Shopify. HotWax Commerce ensures the seamless syncing of cancellations from Shopify, efficiently managing the order cancellation workflow.
