  • YITH Pre-Order Even the FREE Version is a Game-Changer!

    I’ve been using the free version of YITH Pre-Order for 6 months, and it’s been incredibly effective for optimizing my site’s performance. ✅ User-friendly setup—works perfectly even for beginners✅ Great compatibility with WooCommerce

  • Why ?

    Often causes problems with the site, for very very basic features.

    Goudie

  • Not Google Merchant mappable

    Does what it should do in the front-end, but since it doesn't use the correct product fields, plugins that are used to map Google Merchant can't map to the pre-order status or the availability date field.
