⚠️ App combinations that may not work well with Preorder
Selling Plans may become difficult or unsupported when combined with:

- BNPL + preorder
- Bundle apps + preorder
- Subscription apps + preorder
- Deposit / partial payment flows
- Local payment gateway apps
- Custom shipping logic for preorder products
- Mixed cart setups (normal products + preorder + subscription)
Need unsupported payment or app flows?
If you need combinations like COD, subscriptions, bundles, deposits, local gateways, or advanced shipping logic, consider using a preorder method that does not rely on Shopify Selling Plans.
