pre ordering possible?

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.3

Is it possible in Hikashop to let customers order goods that are not in stock (because they are expensive goods or special made goods)?
Customers should pay for example 50% of the total price before the order is ordered by the manufacturer?
customers should get the conditions they have to agree to to buy that product in the shop, can anyone point me to the solution in Hikashop?

Hi,

You can potentially create a custom field in the "product" table via the menu Display > Custom fields and display the text "out of stock" for the desired items but let an unlimited quantity to them.

Then you will have to create a plugin to divide the price of the current order by 2, and create another order with the rest of the amount. This way the customer will pay 50% directly, and another order is created, and he will be able to pay it via the user control panel once you set it a valid status.

Here is documentation for plugins:
