A back order is when a customer purchases a product that's temporarily unavailable (due to insufficient stock levels) for shipment at a later date. When a customer places a back order, their purchase is reserved, and merchants work to fulfill that order as quickly as possible.
Customers place back orders expecting to receive the purchased product or service at a future date, while out-of-stock items might not become available for purchase again.
Selling back order items can lead to benefits like reduced inventory carrying costs for ecommerce merchants, offsetting some downsides of being temporarily out of stock.
