Set availability of product to pre-order if the product is no longer available

Hi @bigdropgr

Is there an option to set the availability of a product to pre-order if it is no longer available on xml?

First, you’d need to enable the ‘Delete products that are no longer present in your file’ option in the import settings: https://d.pr/i/bVlioA. Then, depending on what your pre-orders plugin requires to mark products as “available to pre-order”, you’d either:

• Enable ‘Instead of deletion, set Custom Field’ and set the custom field name/value that the pre-orders plugin requires.
• Or, if it requires something else, write custom code that uses our ‘wp_all_import_is_post_to_delete’ hook to stop the deletion and mark the product as available to pre-order instead: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/advanced/action-reference/#wp_all_import_is_post_to_delete.

Hi @bigdropgr,

I’m marking this as resolved since it’s been a while. You can follow up here if you still have questions about this.
