Why businesses use it

Know before you go ahead.

Preorda helps you find out what buyers actually want before you buy stock, prep food, print merch, or block out your time.

Less money tied up in stock

More confidence before launch day

Orders and delivery ready if it works

Ways to sell

Pick the sale that matches the risk.

Different businesses need different kinds of certainty. Preorda supports the moment you are actually in.

Testing demand

Buyers join first and payments are authorised. You only go ahead when the numbers work.

Nothing made, bought or booked until the numbers work.

Sell what's ready today

You have stock ready. Open a live drop, take payment immediately and sell from what is available.

No waiting for a target. Sell now, send or hand over now.

Hold until the numbers are there

Set a minimum. Buyers join and payment is held. When enough orders land, you go ahead — and not before.

You don’t make, buy or book until the numbers justify it.

Selling in person

Print a QR sign. Buyers scan, pay and collect at your stall, market or event.

No app needed for the buyer. Works anywhere you can print a sign.

Noise becomes signal

Know when there's enough demand.

Preorda turns early signals into a clear moment: enough demand is there, payment can be captured, and the sale can go ahead.

Early buyer signals cluster into a captured demand point when the campaign reaches its target.

Before the next sale

Don't start from zero every time.

Capture followers, launch waitlists, send announcements and offer bounties so the next drop starts with people already waiting.

Waitlists, followers and announcements are free on every plan.

Turn one sale into the next one

Followers, waitlists and announcements give you a way back to people who already care.

Payments

Payments match the promise.

Buyers are authorised first and only charged if a target campaign succeeds. Live drops charge immediately when stock is real.

It works like a hotel card hold — payment is authorised first, then only captured if the order goes ahead.

Your customers' card details are handled by Stripe and never stored by Preorda. Payments, authorisations and payouts are processed through Stripe.

Held payments for target campaigns
No charge if the campaign does not go ahead
Refund and cancellation handling
Stripe-powered payouts

Built for the real edge cases.

Preorda is designed for the parts of selling that usually create headaches.
