Who uses PreOrder Globo?
PreOrder Globo, listed on the App Store as PreOrder Globo | Back in Stock, is a pre-order and back-in-stock app for Shopify from Globo, rated 4.9 stars across 1,976 App Store reviews. It lets a store keep selling products that are out of stock or not yet released, and notify shoppers when items return. This profile shows who actually runs it, based on Alert's scan of Shopify storefronts: the size and location of a typical PreOrder Globo store, what those stores sell, the apps they pair it with, what it costs, and how it compares with the other pre-order apps merchants weigh.
The typical PreOrder Globo store
The typical PreOrder Globo store is a large, established brand. Its median store lists 134 products, more than twice the median for most pre-order apps: Notify! stores list 57, STOQ stores 64, Essent 66 and Timesact 55. The median store also runs 12 detected apps, the busiest stack in the category. That is a store with a big catalog and enough moving parts that out-of-stock and upcoming products are a constant, not an occasional event.
About 11.3% of PreOrder Globo stores run Shopify Plus, well over twice the Shopify-wide rate. Among pre-order apps, only STOQ is higher, at about 13%. Notify! sits at about 8.1%, Timesact at about 7.4% and Essent at about 5.9%. Pre-orders are often a feature of larger brands with product drops, seasonal ranges or long supplier lead times, and PreOrder Globo's base reflects that.

Japan5.3%What PreOrder Globo stores sell
PreOrder Globo is used well beyond the United States: 70% of its stores are based elsewhere. The US accounts for about 30%, then Australia at about 12.5%, the United Kingdom at about 11%, Canada at about 6%, France at about 6% and Japan at about 5%. The Australian share is high, a pattern shared by the whole pre-order category: STOQ has about 15% of its stores there and Notify! about 10.5%. Longer shipping times to Australia may explain part of it: pre-orders let a store sell stock before it lands.
By category, fashion leads at about 29% of stores and business and industrial follows at about 18%. Technology accounts for about 9%, arts and entertainment for about 8% and food and drink for about 7%. Fashion is the natural fit: apparel brands launch collections in drops, sell out of popular sizes, and take pre-orders on restocks. Technology fits product launches where demand runs ahead of supply.

Globo's own product options app appears 6.2x more often and SC Product Options 5.1x more often. Merchants who already use one Globo app often add another from the same developer, and stores with many configurable products are the ones most likely to run short on specific variants.

Contact forms fit stores that handle enquiries about stock, custom orders and wholesale; loyalty fits brands with repeat buyers who come back for each new drop.
For anyone selling to Shopify brands, a PreOrder Globo install marks a large, configurable catalog, a busy app stack and a higher than usual chance of being on Shopify Plus.
