Planning ahead just got a whole lot easier.

With Storefront Pre-Orders in LFM’s latest release, you can start selling products before they’re available, giving your customers more flexibility and helping you plan with confidence.

Whether it’s seasonal products, special events, or large buyers planning ahead, Pre-Orders make it simple to capture demand early without disrupting your regular sales flow

Sell Now, Deliver Later

Pre-orders let your customers shop ahead of time for products they’ll receive in the future.

Instead of waiting until items are available, you can:

• Lock in early sales
• Better predict demand
• Plan inventory and operations with more confidence

 

It’s a simple way to turn future demand into committed orders today.

A Seamless Shopping Experience

Pre-orders are built right into your storefront, so customers can shop just like they always do.

They’ll see which products are available for pre-order, choose a future date, and check out through your standard process—no extra steps or confusion.

For markets using a dedicated pre-order page, it’s even easier to guide customers to specific campaigns or offerings with a shareable link.

Perfect for Seasonal & Special Sales

Pre-orders are especially useful for moments when planning ahead matters.

Think:

• Holiday products like Thanksgiving turkeys
• Spring plant sales
• Bulk or limited-run items

 

Instead of managing everything in a tight sales window, you can open ordering earlier and give customers more time to commit.

A Better Way to Work with Institutional Buyers

Pre-orders aren’t just for retail customers, they’re a powerful tool for institutional sales, too.

For schools, hospitals, and other large buyers, planning ahead is essential. Pre-orders allow them to:

• Place orders weeks or months in advance
• Align purchases with menus or program schedules
• Schedule and manage multiple delivery days in a single order cycle
• Secure supply without last-minute coordination

 

For your team, that means more predictable volume, stronger buyer relationships, and less back-and-forth during busy periods.

Built to Fit Your Workflow

Pre-orders work alongside your existing processes, so you don’t have to reinvent anything.

You can:

• Use your standard checkout experience
• Share pre-order links in emails and campaigns
• Communicate clearly with customers about timing and expectations

 

Everything stays organized and easy to manage from start to finish.
