# Pre-order

Palo Alto uses product tags for creating pre-order products. When you define a pre-order tag, you can easily convert the 'add to cart' button to a 'pre-order' button.

## How to setup

Setting up a pre-order tag is very simple and can be done right in your Shopify admin.

## Tag to use

Add the following tag to each pre-order product:

`_preorder`

***

## Customize the button text

Tagged products will use a button called "Pre-Order." The default theme content allows you to customize the text value.&#x20;

Change the "Pre-Order" value to change the button text:

## Pre-order template

{% hint style="info" %}
***Tip***: Use a different product template to remove the Buy It Now button
{% endhint %}

To remove the **buy it now button**, you can create a pre-order product template and uncheck '*show dynamic checkout buttons'* under the **form** block.
