Summary
Merchant Lenny Schwarz reported that the Pre-Order button was not replacing the 'Add to Cart' button on his homepage for the product 'Royal Pop Strap', despite having correctly configured inventory settings and an active offer. After the AI bot's troubleshooting steps failed to resolve the issue, human agent Nilou took over, identified that the Add to Cart button on the homepage was not properly linked to the product variant, applied a custom selector fix, removed unwanted UI elements, and added a custom pre-order description text via CSS — fully resolving the issue.

> The Pre-Order button will only replace “Add to Cart” when the product (and every variant) is truly out of stock and the Pre-Order visibility is enabled for the page you’re viewing.
> Steps to check:
> 1. In Shopify, open the product and confirm each variant has: Track quantity ON, Continue selling when out of stock ON, and inventory set to 0 or less.
> 2. In our app: Shopify Admin → Notify Me! → Preorder tab → Settings → Visibility Status → turn on Pre-Order for product pages (and also for Home page if you want it there).
> 3. In Shopify theme: Online Store → Themes → Customize → App embeds → make sure “Notify Me!” app embed is ON and saved.
> 4. On Home page: confirm the native product section actually shows an “Add to Cart” button (Pre-Order replaces it, so it must exist).
> Extra: if any one variant is not set to 0 or less, the Pre-Order button can be hidden.

> The Pre-Order button will only replace “Add to Cart” when the product (and every variant) is truly out of stock, the product is included in an active offer, and the Pre-Order visibility is enabled for that page.
> Steps to double-check:
> 1. In Shopify, open the product and confirm every variant has Track quantity ON, Continue selling when out of stock ON, and inventory set to 0 or less.
> 2. In our app: Shopify Admin → Notify Me! → Preorder → Settings → Visibility status → turn on Pre-Order for product pages and Home page.

> 4. On the Home page, confirm the native product section actually shows an “Add to Cart” button (Pre-Order replaces it, so it must exist).
> Extra: if your theme or page builder uses a different “Add to Cart” selector, the button may not be able to find it and won’t replace it.

**[2026-05-13 13:44:52] admin/Nilou**
> That would be very helpful Thank you At the moment I applied a selector to the homepage's add to cart button but nothing changed When I try adding the item to cart, it seems like the Add to cart button is not set up correctly, probably not linked to the product variant id and no item is added to cart
