Back Order Message

You have the ability to create a back order message to display to customers when an item is out of stock, but is available to be purchased for back order. Below are the instructions on setting this up:

1. Log into the Management Console here
2. Select Inventory Management
3. Select Step 2. Modify Global Settings
   
   
4. Next to "Allow Backorders for Items Out-of-Stock", check Yes
5. If you'd like to use the Default Out of Stock message, check the radio button next to Show Default Out-of-Stock/Backorder Messages. The default message reads "Item is out of stock, but can be purchased for back order." If you'd like to use a custom message, check the radio button next to Show Custom Out-of-Stock/Backorder Message and enter your custom message in the text box below.
   

   Note: Custom Backorder messages will not display for Buy-Me Buttons, this feature is only for the Internet Store.
