How Pre-Orders Work

Simple 3 to 5 step process.

Example:

1. Store launches

2. Customers place orders

3. Pre-order window closes

4. Production begins

5. Orders ship or become available
   for pickup

This reduces confusion immediately.This setup is ideal for brands that do limited releases or want to test new designs without risk.

Production Timeline

Most preorder stores remain open for approximately 7 to 14 days depending on the project.

Once the store closes, production typically takes around 10 to 20 business days from final approval and payment. Timing can vary depending on garment availability, order size, decoration method, finishing requirements, and shipping volume.

Rush production options may be available depending on current shop capacity and project requirements.

Product Mockups & Approval Process

• Digital mockups are provided
before launch
• Colors and garments are
approved beforehand
• Final production begins after approvals
