I’m looking into purchasing WooCommerce Pre Orders and have been looking at a friend’s copy to demo. It’s a great plugin, but I have an issue I can’t seem to solve.
When ordering, you can only order 1 variation of a product at a time. You can edit the quantity of that variation in the cart but you can’t add 2 variations of the same product to the same cart at the same time. If you do, it will empty the cart and replace it with the current selection. Since I’d be taking pre-orders for screen printed clothing (similar to teespring), ordering multiple variations (sizes in this instance) at one time is important. Making them make multiple orders from the same product would just drive them away.
I don’t want to let customers order from multiple preorders at once since each preordered product has a different release/ship date, but I want to let them order multiple variations, i.e. a Small Tee, a Medium Tee, and a Large Tee, of a particular product since they would all ship at the same time.
I hope all of that made sense.
Here is the code that is responsible for the cart restrictions. Any help is much appreciated.

I know this post is old. But come to this same problem and i have solved my problem like this.
I have changed validate_cart() function in woocommerce-pre-orders/classes/class-wc-pre-orders-cart.php
It is like this :
Thank you.
I know that it’s been a long time but I think this could still be useful for someone. If you have a child theme you can just add this to
functions.php:This avoids the need of adding a plugin
I’ve been having the same issue and just found an answer (I hope) here:
Pre-orders can only purchase one at a time
I managed to implement hortongroup’s plugin fix as described in the comments.
There was a slight error the shortcode line in the description, it should read:
It now seems to be working perfectly, I’ll have wait for the next update to WooCommerce Pre Orders to see if the plugin fix still works.
Ideally by doing it this way we won’t have to alter WooCommerce Pre Orders after every update.
Here’s the code I used for the custom plugin:
Hopefully this will work for you too:)
Kind regards,
JP
Since this issue still exists today and my scenario was slightly different, I’ve used the following filter to fix my issue.
I want pre-orders to be made but not one pre-order item per order, there could be multiple quantities and different pre-order products in one order. The only scenario I want to prevent is that regular products are being mixed with pre-orders (which shouldn’t be possible).
Maybe anyone else could use this approach (going to check for something custom in the future which you can add to your child-theme) which would be better since it could now be overwritten with an update.
