Backorders

Added the ability to allow buyers to purchase out-of-stock items through the backorders feature, providing more flexible inventory management.

By default, backorders are disabled. A new "Allow vendors to enable backorders" marketplace configuration toggle has been introduced to turn this feature on. Once enabled, the "Allow backorders" checkbox is appears on products and product variants, which allows sellers to choose whether their products can be backordered.

When backorders are enabled for a product or variant, you can set a "Backorder Threshold" when managing inventory. This specifies the maximum number of units that can be backordered when a variant is out of stock.
