Pre-order
A pre-order is when a customer orders a product before it reaches the shop, sometimes paying a deposit.
What it means for a shop owner
It shows you demand before you buy the quantity. Tell the customer the expected arrival date and what happens if it is late. Keep the deposit as a debt you owe until he collects the goods.
A worked example
12 customers order a new phone and each pays a 50 deposit, so you hold 600 in deposits.
