# Pre-Order App
The HotWax Commerce `Pre-Order` App is designed for merchandisers to gain a clear understanding of their presell catalog, allowing them to track the status of pre-orders and backorders, and confirm listed items on the eCommerce platform. This app enables merchandisers to efficiently manage all pre-orders, including the ability to release them manually. The Pre-Order App is designed specifically for merchandisers to get a full overview of the pre-order products; therefore, the "PRE-ORDER APP VIEW" permission is required to access the app. Furthermore, actions that involve pre-order inventory configurations also require higher-level permissions. Below is a list of all the actions available in the Pre-Order App, along with the specific permissions needed to perform them.
