Essential Preorder × VO Product Options: Does it work? How to set it up
Quick Answer: 
Works
What this means: You can take pre‑orders and deposits. Just don’t use the VO setting that replaces the Add to cart button.
Setup in 5 quick steps
- Install VO Product Options and add your fields.
- Place the VO block inside the normal product form.
- In VO, keep “replace add‑to‑cart” off.
- In Essential Preorder & Presale, create a preorder campaign and add your products.
- Save and plan to test the full cart page if you use a cart drawer.
Quick test (2 minutes)
- Product → choose options → Pre‑order.
- Cart → you should see Pre‑order + your options.
- Start checkout → info still there.
- (Optional) Place a test order and check Shopify → Orders.
If something doesn’t work
- Button missing: Turn off VO’s “replace add‑to‑cart” or move the block.
- Options missing: Keep the block inside the product form; try the full cart page.
FAQ
- Conditional logic? Supported.
- Cart drawer? Often fine; test the full cart if info drops.
