Pre-orders made easy

Our platform solves the #1 issue we hear from eCommerce brands when scaling pre-orders: Warehouse and 3PL compatibility.  

Purple Dot holds pre-orders outside your downstream systems until stock arrives – avoiding warehouse confusion. 

And with deep configurations, you can handle things like splitting mixed ship date orders and automated workflows to ensure you are never oversold.

Trusted by your customers

Pre-orders can get a bad reputation with shoppers – resulting in low conversion and increased customer service calls. With Purple Dot, we build trust in your pre-order experience with a clear UX, dedicated post-purchase emails, and a self-service portal for your customers to check and amend their pre-order – so they always feel they are in the loop

Full FTC Compliance

When charging upfront for pre-orders, you need to tick all the regulatory boxes. Purple Dot does this for you by ring fencing sales until the pre-order ships, and ensuring all the necessary customer communications and cancellation rights when charging upfront for their pre-order. This gives you full confidence in paid customer demand while ensuring compliance doesn’t hold you back from converting sales.
