Available with backorder, but not in stock

[Patipada]

Hi,

I have some products which are not in stock, but available via backorder.
But when this combination is made:
“Available with backorder” and “Not in stock”, it is not possible to order the product.
For example: https://littlegreeny.nl/product/tula-spotted-love-draagzak-baby/
I would like that people can buy the product but know they have to wait because they backorder the product.

I don’t want to change the stock status to “in stock” because when I do this, these products will also be in sales channels like Google Shopping, and we don’t that. Because, they are not in stock 🙂

So…
Is there a way to make it possible that people can place backorders for products that are not in stock?

Thanks!
Gerjan

Hi Gerjan,

Not by default no, you would either need to use a plugin to provide that functionality or hire a developer to build this functionality for you.

Thanks,
David.
