Sometimes a product temporarily runs out of stock, but you still want customers to be able to purchase it while waiting for the next shipment. This is where the <strong>WooCommerce backorder feature<\/strong> becomes extremely useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allowing backorders in WooCommerce enables customers to place orders for products that are currently out of stock. Instead of losing potential sales, store owners can continue accepting orders and deliver the products once inventory becomes available again. Many large eCommerce platforms such as Amazon use this strategy to keep customers engaged and maintain sales momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when your store contains dozens or hundreds of products, enabling backorders individually can be time-consuming. In these situations, store managers usually need a faster solution to <strong>bulk edit allow backorders settings in WooCommerce<\/strong>.In this guide, we will first explain <strong>what backorders are in WooCommerce and how the backorder options work<\/strong>. Then we will show you two practical methods to enable or disable backorders for multiple products at once, both with the default WooCommerce tools and with a powerful bulk editing plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is allow backorder in WooCommerce?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Allow backorders in WooCommerce is useful when you want to let customers order out-of-stock products. This strategy is known as a solution for selling the products that could be supplied soon but it is not available currently in the shop. Store owners can evaluate the demand for supplying goods and prevent their warehouse from overstocking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WooCommerce backorder settings have three options in WooCommerce including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Allow<\/strong>: If you choose the <strong>Allow<\/strong> option on backorder WooCommerce, even the out-of-stock products will be displayed as \u201cIn Stock\u201d to the customers. So, they can order the out-of-stock products with no idea about being a backorder. To keep your customers satisfied, you need to supply the ordered products very fast and deliver them on time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Allow, but notify customer<\/strong>: By choosing WooCommerce backorder allow but notify customer, customers will see <strong>Available on Backorder<\/strong> message on the product page. They can order the products as usual, and it is better to inform them about the delivery date which has a great influence on their purchase behavior.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t Allow<\/strong>: If you choose this option, customers will see the <strong>Unavailable<\/strong> message on the product page when the product is out of stock. So, it is not possible to order them before you make them available again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to bulk edit WooCommerce allow backorders?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important parts of your online store is product management.

Instead of losing customers, you can continue accepting orders and deliver them once inventory is available again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we explained how <strong>WooCommerce backorders work and what the different backorder options mean<\/strong>. We also reviewed two practical methods to bulk edit backorder settings. The default WooCommerce editor allows store managers to change backorder options for selected products, but it offers limited filtering and editing capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For stores with a large number of products or complex inventory management needs, using a <strong>WooCommerce bulk editing plugin like PBULKiT<\/strong> provides a faster and more flexible solution. With advanced filtering tools and table-based editing, store managers can update backorder settings for multiple simple and variable products in just a few clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By choosing the right method, you can manage WooCommerce stock settings more efficiently and ensure that customers can continue purchasing products even when inventory is temporarily unavailable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column blog-faq-section is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is backorder in WooCommerce?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A backorder in WooCommerce allows customers to purchase a product even when it is currently out of stock. The order is recorded normally, and the store owner ships the product later when it becomes available again. This feature helps store owners continue selling popular products without losing potential customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do the WooCommerce backorder options \u201cYes\u201d, \u201cNotify\u201d, and \u201cNo\u201d mean?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>WooCommerce provides three backorder options. \u201cAllow\u201d lets customers order products that are out of stock without any notification. \u201cAllow, but notify customer\u201d informs customers on the product page that the item is available on backorder. \u201cDo not allow\u201d prevents customers from ordering products when they are out of stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I allow backorders in WooCommerce?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To allow backorders in WooCommerce, open the product editing page, go to the Inventory section, and enable the Manage stock option. Then select one of the backorder settings such as Allow or Allow but notify customer. This setting lets customers place orders even when the product is out of stock.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I enable WooCommerce backorders for multiple products at once?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, WooCommerce allows you to enable backorders for multiple products using the bulk edit feature in the Products list. You can also use a PBULKiT plugin to apply backorder settings to large groups of products or product variations more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do WooCommerce stores use backorders?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>WooCommerce stores use backorders to prevent lost sales when products temporarily run out of stock. By allowing customers to place orders in advance, store owners can measure product demand, maintain customer interest, and deliver items as soon as new inventory arrives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Managing product stock efficiently is one of the most important responsibilities of WooCommerce store owners.
