Why we display "Pre-order protected by Purple Dot?" on your website
The “Pre-order protected by Purple Dot” is necessary as Purple Dot assists with various customer touchpoints across the pre-order journey to help build trust and conversion.

Making it clear on the PDP that it is a pre-order and what exactly this means
Self-service tooling such as the ability to cancel their pre-order at any time and update their information (saving time for your customer service team)
Notifying the shopper of any delays, as well as when the item is ready to be shipped, via co-branded emails
