Feature introduced in Broadcast 3.2

Broadcast supports metafields for creating pre-order products. When you define a preorder metafield, you can easily toggle on or off the preorder feature which converts the Add to Cart button to a Pre-order button.

On the main product page, the Add to Cart button is replaced with a Pre-order button:

When viewing a collection page or any product grid-style section, a PRE-ORDER badge is added to the product:

Quick Add button is changed to Pre-Order:

In the cart drawer and cart page, a message is included to indicate that the item is a pre-order:

How to setup

Setting up a preorder metafield is very simple and can be done right in your Shopify Admin. This video covers all the steps needed for creating a preorder metafield plus additional customization options:
