01 / SET UP
Choose a product
Use a published simple product without options or variants. Set its HikaShop quantity to Unlimited and add its product ID in the plugin.
02 / EXPLAIN
Make timing clear
Show a pre-order notice, optional expected availability date and plain-text message on the product and at checkout.
03 / CHECK OUT
Use your checkout
Use the full order amount and your existing HikaShop payment method. The saved order item keeps a pre-order and date marker.
One small plugin. A clear scope.
Manage active and paused campaigns in Joomla’s native plugin settings. A paused campaign blocks new checkout for that product. The plugin does not change product prices, stock, payment methods or order statuses.
Set stock deliberately. Unlimited quantity allows sales without a stock cap. This edition does not reserve a limited allocation. An expected date is buyer information, not an automatic release, shipping or charging schedule.
Version 1.0.0 supports simple products only. Deposits, pay-later, automatic later charges, quantity caps, email signups and product options or variants are not included.
Before installing
Launch compatibility: Joomla 5.4, PHP 8.1 or newer and HikaShop Starter 6.7.1. Validation uses Joomla 5.4.10 and PHP 8.3. Other Joomla versions and HikaShop editions are not claimed as tested.
Installation, safe stock setup and reviewer test steps →
This is a separate Joomla plugin. The Wix app, WooCommerce plugin and Shopify app use different installation packages and features. Joomla directory review does not imply approval or endorsement.
