From your Shopify admin, open **Apps → PreOrder Guru**. In the app's left-hand navigation menu, click **"Preorder"**.

### Step 2: **Create New Preorder**

    *Ideal to avoid losing sales on out-of-stock products.*

    *Perfect for controlling how many preorder units you accept.*

### **Step 5:** Automation

**"Automatically enable 'Continue selling when out of stock' when pre-order starts."** This setting is **disabled (unchecked) by default**.

- If the merchant **leaves this setting disabled**, the app will **not** automatically enable **"Continue selling when out of stock"** during product creation, product updates, or collection updates.
