With the WowStore back order addon, you can set products on backorder that are temporarily out of stock.
How to Use the Backorder Addon?
Before using the addon, you will have to turn it on from the WowStore settings from your WordPress dashboard. Here are some important references to make the product backorder available for use:

Note: Make sure to remove the tick mark from the “Manage Stock” section. Also, make sure that the stock status is set to “On Backorder”. Otherwise, the WowStore backorder information will not appear.
Once you’ve placed an order on your cart, you’ll be able to see which products are on backorder:

It will also show up on the order details page once the payment is done:
