FROM PROMISE TO PARCEL

One clear story at every step.

The shopper and the fulfillment team should never have to reconstruct what an order means.
01 / BEFORE CHECKOUT

Make preorders feel right at home.

Show customers what is a preorder and when it is expected. Match the labels to your store, with your colors, your wording, and the details that make it yours.

  • Pre-order badges and expected dates
  • Colors, corners, and wording you control
  • A clear promise before customers buy
Addora's appearance settings change the preorder badge color, corner radius and expected-date wording on a product card.
Your preorder appearance
02 / AFTER PURCHASE

Keep ready items moving.

A mixed cart should follow a deliberate policy. Addora can leave the ready part available to dispatch while the pre-order stays held—or require separate carts before checkout.

  • Ready-items-first or separate-carts policy
  • Only the pre-order timeline stays held
  • Clear exceptions for practical add-ons

THE MERCHANT SIDE

Clear controls behind a simple customer promise.

Recognize products, review readiness, and release exceptions without stitching the story together across unrelated settings.
WHEN STOCK ARRIVES

Ten arrived?
Make ten ready.

Enter the quantity you have. Addora makes those units available, starting with the oldest orders. Customers still choose when to ship, while the rest keep their release settings.

In Addora's preorder settings, a merchant changes the quantity from 20 held units to 10 and marks only those units ready.
Partial stock arrivals
YOUR SHIPPING RULES

A little incentive to keep collecting.

Set a free-shipping threshold that fits your store. Build shipping conditions around price, weight or quantity, with fees and discounts when you need them.

A merchant adds a price condition with a 75 dollar minimum and Free Shipping, applying to all countries.

THE COMMERCIAL CASE

Turn shipping flexibility into a conversion strategy.

More completed checkouts, more repeat purchases, and a better reason for customers to come back.
01 / CONVERSION

Stop your biggest checkout leak.

Shipping fees should not be the reason customers abandon their cart.

02 / AUTOMATION

Set it, then forget it.

Addora runs the waiting workflow. Customers stay in control, and your team stays out of the inbox.

03 / LIFETIME VALUE

Grow customer lifetime value.

Remove the shipping friction between one purchase and the next, so customers return sooner, buy across more drops, and spend more with you over time.

What is Addora?

Addora is a Shopify app for Pre-orders and Ship Later. It keeps product readiness, customer choices, fulfillment holds, release dates, and shipping actions in one clear journey.

Do we have to use both Pre-orders and Ship Later?

No. Start with Ship Later plus Pre-orders, only Ship Later, or only Pre-orders. Each workflow can operate independently while sharing the same readiness model.

Does the customer still pay for shipping?

Yes. Ship Later defers shipping; it does not make shipping free. Customers pay shipping when they choose to send eligible held purchases together.

What happens with mixed carts?

Choose whether mixed orders wait together or ready items ship first. Separate releases depend on your fulfillment setup; waiting items stay held.

Do we need Shopify Plus?

Ship Later works without Shopify Plus. Plus stores can also add an optional explanation inside checkout.

PRE-ORDERS. SHIP LATER. BETTER TOGETHER.

Secure the sale today. Ship when ready.
