FAQs
What is backorder in Magento?
Backorder is an available feature in Magento that allows customers to place orders on the Magento website for out-of-stock items. Merchants will ship orders to customers only when items are ready in stock. In Magento admin, merchants can manage all Adobe Commerce backorders.
How long does a backorder usually take?
Depending on suppliers, manufacturers, and the fulfillment process, a backorder can take 7–14 days to ship. Backorders require customer patience; however, the faster your process is, the more satisfied your customers will be. To mitigate backorders, merchants should:
- Review reorder points frequently
- Carry safety stock
- Invest in an inventory forecast tool
- Work with multiple suppliers
- etc.
Should I choose in-house or third-party backorder fulfillment?
It depends on your business model and resources.
In-house fulfillment allows you to control the whole operation, customize your branding and packaging, and directly work with customers to enhance their satisfaction.
In contrast, the 3PL service provider will take care of all fulfillment operations on your behalf. However, their workflow doesn’t always align with your standards and charges you a high fee.
What are the differences between Magento backorder and preorder?
While backorder allows customers to place orders for temporarily out-of-stock items and wait for shipping, preorder lets customers place orders for items that have yet to be released.
Magento has an available backorder that merchants can use in their Magento stores but it doesn’t have a preorder feature. Merchants can install Magento preorder extensions from Adobe Commerce’s partners.
Is backorder available in Magestore POS?
Yes, the backorder is available in all Magestore POS packages with fulfillment because it’s a part of Magento’s order fulfillment solution. Magestore POS can fulfill both Magento backorders and in-store backorders.
