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
