Really happy with Dibs so far. The app is free, easy to install and set up, and the ui is clean on our product pages. What stands out most is the support – any time I’ve had a question, the team has replied quickly and helped me get things sorted. For a free app, the value is awesome.

To learn more about the product and features, visit the User guide.

What's the difference between a preorder and a backorder on Dibs?

A preorder lets customers buy a product before it's launched or restocked, while a backorder lets them buy a product that's currently out of stock but coming back soon. Dibs supports both from the same app, so you can run preorder campaigns for new arrivals and backorder campaigns for sold-out bestsellers without switching tools.

Where does the preorder or backorder button show up on my store?

The preorder/backorder badge and button display directly on the product page, replacing or sitting alongside your regular "Add to cart" button once a product is out of stock or scheduled ahead of launch. You can customize the badge text, button label, and styling to match your store's branding.

Can I limit how many preorder or backorder units are sold?

Yes, Dibs lets you set order limits by product or by variant, and it automatically stops accepting new orders once that cap is reached. This helps you avoid overselling and keeps fulfillment realistic when supply is limited.

Does Dibs support partial payments for preorders?

Yes, you can choose between full payment upfront or partial (deposit-style) payment at checkout. Partial payments let you collect a portion of the revenue early to validate demand, while the balance is collected later through an automated payment reminder.

Will customers get notified about their preorder status?

Yes, Dibs sends automated payment reminder emails, and for shipping updates you can select the relevant orders and trigger a status update notification in a couple of clicks. This gives you control over exactly when customers hear about shipping progress, while payment follow-ups happen on their own.

Can I schedule when a preorder or backorder campaign starts and ends?

For preorders, yes — you can schedule exactly when a plan goes live and when it ends. Backorders work differently: since they're inventory-triggered, a backorder plan automatically starts when a product goes out of stock and ends once inventory is replenished, so there's no manual start/end date to set.
