You may have some products in your store that are not available just yet butt your would like to offer an option to preorder. To do this you could add a button to the product so that people can email you to be added to a pre-order list or they can be redirected to a page where they can fill out a form to be added to your pre-order list.
Option 1: Button links to a page
You may want a button that redirects the customer to a specific page where they can fill out a form or read more information. To do this, please follow the steps below:
1. Edit the product that you would like to add a button to, you can do this by clicking on the edit pencil on your store page.
2. Set the product to catalogue only mode, this will ensure that customers cannot buy the product online and will need to request a quote.
3. In the product description you will want to change to HTML format by clicking on the <> icon.
4. Here you will want to add in the following code, replacing the bolded text with your own.
<p><a href="/page name/" class="basket-button shop-button fill" style="color:#FFFFFF;><span class=" text"="">Text on button<span class="icon"></span></a>
5. Click save and this will start to show in the product description.
If you have a form that is linked with your email marketing platform you will be able to add these customers to an audience so that you can send them the link to order when the product is available - this way they will be the first to know.
Option 2: Button opens up an email
This option is to create a button that opens up an email that is partially pre-filled - this is great if you want customers to email you with the subject line pre-filled so that it's easy to reference.
1. Edit the product that you would like to add a button to, you can do this by clicking on the edit pencil on your store page.
2. Set the product to catalogue only mode, this will ensure that customers cannot buy the product online and will need to request a quote.
3. In the product description you will want to change to HTML format by clicking on the <> icon.

<p><a href="mailto:Add your email address here?subject=Email subject line&body=If you woudl like there to be prefilled body text of an email you can add it here" class="basket-button shop-button fill" style="color:#FFFFFF;><span class=" text"="">Enquire Here <span class="icon"></span></a></p>
