Enable preorder and backorder functionality

You can use the updateInventoryConfiguration endpoint to enable preorder and backorder functionality.

This section applies to Open Storefront Framework (OSF) and Storefront Classic.

By default, preorder and backorder functionality are disabled in Commerce. This section describes how to use the updateInventoryConfiguration endpoint to enable preorder and backorder functionality. Preorders and backorders are enabled and disabled at the same time with the preorderBackorderEnabled property. You cannot enable or disable them separately.

The following sample request enables backorder and preorder functionality:

PUT /ccadmin/v1/merchant/inventoryConfiguration HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer <access_token>

{
  "preorderBackorderEnabled": true
}
