The story

The pain

We run plant nurseries and other seasonal businesses, and setting up preorders in Square is incredibly tedious. Every single item must be clicked into individually to set preorder info, and when dates slip due to carrier delays or inspections, we have to manually update each one again. There is no bulk edit for preorder settings, no way to toggle preorder on/off with a single button, and no separate preorder policy options. This costs us hours of repetitive work every season.

Most item attributes can be bulk edited, but preorder, click into every single one, set the preorder info, again and again and again and again, oops missed that one, next one...makes no sense.

If I guess that my inventory will arrive on December 5th, but it gets delayed by a week because the department of ag is overloaded then I have to go into every single preorder and modify the dates so customers can still order before the arrival. Then I have to go in again and remove so customers can purchase remaining inventory once the product arrives.
