GETTING STARTED

Know the setup.

After public release, install Ahead from its own Shopify listing and open it in Shopify admin. The initial release supports English, USD shop currency and Online Store 2.0 themes with app blocks.

1. Check your store’s eligibility for Shopify purchase options and use a supported payment setup. Ahead charges the full price at checkout.
2. Select a product variant, set the expected shipment date and quantity added per preorder, and activate its campaign.
3. Add the preorder block to the product template and the cart-terms block to your cart. Test the displayed date, full-payment terms and checkout before publishing.
4. Use the app to manage shipment-date changes. Buyers receive their own private management link for eligible cancellations before fulfillment.

Save your campaign, enable the app, and add its block to a duplicate theme before publishing. Test the customer flow and checkout using your store’s products and shipping rules.
