Which rule will be applied on a product which belongs to more than 1 category?

If a product belongs to more than 1 category, the size chart which is displayed for this product will depend on the path leading to it. For example, if product A belongs to Women category and Jackets category also. The size chart for product A will be applied according to rules set for Women if the path which leads to product is Home > Women > product A; and will be the other if the path is Home > Jackets > product A. Also, rules which have higher priority will be displayed. Refer user guide for detailed instruction

Popup Size Chart is not displayed on the frontend.

Please re-check attribute code and make sure that it’s a swatch or dropdown attribute

What kind of content can I use for the size guide?

Any! With the support of HTML/CSS, you’re able to add text, tables, pictures, videos, links, etc, to the size chart

Problems

In Magento 2 Default, if you want to enable pre-orders to promote new items and prepare better production strategies, as well as persuade customers to go back if your products are out-of-stock, it is difficult to do so.

The product is out of stock: The quantity is zero

Good

I saw this extension after the Custom stock status extension and I immediately thought of some of the possible applications of this match. Like new product with custom stock Coming soon and then let customer pre-order the products or keep some product only on order. This extension is really useful, has a lot of applications and is really simple to install.

Greattt

When customers see out-of-stock goods, they can still add it to carts and then pre-order, which is great because as the store, we have time to prepare the goods and customers still feel like the purchase process is not stopped mid-way.

Quickly predict the demand

Using this and I have more time to prepare the stocks and quickly predict the demand when releasing a new product. Customers love this and so do I. It's easy to configure, too. Thank you Mageplaza.

How do you rate this product?

Your email address on Mageplaza's store

Plain text, no HTML tags.

Use case 1: Provide the pre-order ability for any product in the store

Business goals :

Start earning money even when the products are not available to sell yet

Default Magento technical limitations:

To enable a product as available for pre-order with a default Magento store, you will need to modify the product's code, which can be confusing.

Solutions:

Let you set an item's availability for pre-order with any attributes in the backend; no coding is required.
You can make various product types available for pre-order, including Simple products, Grouped products, Configurable products, and Bundle products.

Use case 2: Allow customers to pre-order when a product is out of stock

Business goals:

Make buyers come back for the out-of-stock products

Default Magento technical limitations:

You simply can't offer the pre-order option with out-of-stock items in a default Magento store.

Solutions:

Allow you to apply pre-order for products with zero quantity and process the status correspondingly.

Use case 3: Allow customers to pre-order when a product is coming soon

Business goals:

Let customers book new items even before they come out.

Default Magento technical limitations:

It's impossible to offer the pre-order option with coming soon items in a default Magento store.

Solutions:

Same with out-of-stock items, you can apply for pre-order for products with zero quantity. For example, you want to introduce a new line of products and build some demand; then pre-order is a fantastic choice. Offer a better price when pre-order, and combine with Product Labels to let consumers know the item is available soon.

Use case 4: Allow customers to pre-order when the quantity is fewer than what they demand

Business goals:

Do not miss any potentially wholesale buyers

Default Magento technical limitations:

There's no way to make products with not enough items available for pre-order in a default Magento store.

Solutions:

Allow admins to apply the pre-order status for products with positive quantity, which means more than zero. For example, when you set a shirt product available for pre-order with a positive quantity but there are only 5 left in stock. Customers who need, say, 10 shirts will be able to pre-order when you have more items. This is great if you work with wholesalers a lot.

Use case 5: Notice consumers about product availability for pre-order

Business goals:

Help buyers realize the status of products, ready to pre-order or not.

Default Magento technical limitations:

You have no way of showing an item's availability for pre-order in a default Magento store.

Solutions:

Notice buyers when the items in carts are out of stock or coming soon and can be pre-ordered.
Notice buyers when the items in carts have fewer quantities than their needs can be pre-ordered.
Display the expected availability date of items on the product pages.
Show notices about the pre-order statuses of products on the Category page, Product Page, Shopping Cart page, Checkout page, and more.

All of the feature updates plan and status will be updated as soon as possible in our public Trello.
