Out of Stock Doesn't Mean Wait: Pre-Order Your Next Server
How pre-orders work on RepublicNodes — flexible deposit options and automatic fulfilment the moment stock opens up.
Popular plans sell out — it happens when a location or node fills up faster than expected. Normally that means watching a product page and hoping stock comes back. Now, on select out-of-stock products, you can pre-order instead.
How it works
When a product is out of stock and pre-orders are enabled for it, you'll see a pre-order option right on the product page instead of a dead end. You check out like normal, and your order is queued to be fulfilled as soon as stock becomes available — no need to keep refreshing the page or set a reminder.
Flexible payment at checkout
Depending on how the product is configured, you may be asked to pay:
- The full amount upfront — your server is provisioned automatically the moment stock opens up, no further action needed.
- A percentage deposit — reserve your spot now, pay the rest when it's ready.
- A fixed deposit — a flat amount to hold your place, same idea.
Whatever you owe beyond the deposit is invoiced separately once fulfilment happens — you're never charged more than the amount shown at checkout without a new invoice you approve.
Why this matters
For high-demand locations — a new performance node, a limited-stock plan — pre-orders mean you don't lose your place in line just because you checked at the wrong moment. First to pre-order is first to be fulfilled when stock opens up.
