Use Stock Campaigns to Monitor Preorder and Backorder Demand

Stock Campaigns gives staff one operational view for active preorder and backorder products. A campaign is active when a product or variation currently has an extended stock status.

Open Stock Campaigns

Go to Stock Manager > Inventory > Incoming stock. You can also use the Campaigns action link from the plugin row on the Plugins screen.

• Active campaigns: active preorder/backorder products and variations.
