What you can do

Sale, in detail.

A launch price on the pre-order

Set a lower price — a fixed amount or a percentage off — on the pre-order, so early buyers pay less.

A countdown to the end

Add a timer so the offer feels time-boxed and shoppers know when the launch price is gone.

Full payment or a deposit

Take the launch price in full at checkout, or as a deposit with the balance collected later.

Orders tagged automatically

Pre-order sales are tagged like any other pre-order, so fulfilment and reporting stay clean.

No code, per-variant

Set the price per variant; it renders natively in your theme with the Shopify setup handled.

Questions

Sale, answered.

How does the launch price work?
You set a lower price — a fixed amount or a percentage off — on the pre-order itself, so customers who reserve early pay the reduced price.
Does it apply to any product on my store?
The price applies to the pre-order you're running, per variant — it's a launch price for that release, not a store-wide discount engine.
Can I add a countdown to the offer?
Yes — pair it with a countdown so the launch price feels time-boxed and shoppers know when it ends.
Can I still take a deposit?
Yes. Take the launch price in full at checkout, or as a deposit with the balance collected on a later date.
