Addora now gives Shopify merchants a dedicated pre-order setup, with automatic order intake, mixed-cart rules, release controls, product-page messaging, and storefront readiness checks.
At Addora, we hear this consistently from vinyl collectors. We also hear it from record stores that already offer some form of manual order holding or combined shipping. When merchants discover Addora, they frequently tell us that it is exactly the type of solution they had been looking for: a way to support pre-orders and repeat purchases without relying on emails, order notes, spreadsheets or manual shipping-fee refunds. More importantly, we now have direct end-customer feedback showing that vinyl buyers genuinely appreciate stores offering this flexibility.
Addora now brings held orders into Shopify customer accounts, giving customers one place to see what’s ready, combine purchases, and choose what to ship.
Two Addora merchants asked for a simple way to remind customers when reserved items had been waiting too long. So we built it: automatic customer email reminders for Buy Now, Ship Later orders, with merchant-controlled copy, timing, links, and conservative sending rules to keep the reminders helpful instead of noisy.
Addora now has a Free plan for Shopify merchants who want to test Ship Later, order holding, and order consolidation at low volume. It includes 10 Ship Later orders per month and no overage charges. No creditcard payment information required.
We built Addora around a simple checkout problem: customers are often ready to buy the product, but not ready to pay shipping again. For stores with repeat purchases, smaller orders, limited drops, or build-a-box behavior, that friction quietly costs revenue. Addora gives Shopify merchants a better option: let customers buy now and ship later.
