I use the BCSE Preorder/Backorder mod, but mostly for backordered items. I process cards manually (don't go through a gateway), so I have their credit card information and when the item is back in stock I charge the credit card and ship out the backordered items.

I tried doing it so there was "no charge" in the shopping cart, but that didn't work well because I had to go back and manually figure out what they should pay based on the quantity and price of the items.

I do find that it was somewhat "clunky" to enter the information of what products are backordered and I had some trouble with it until I realized that the quantity in stock has to be 0 in order for the backorder module to kick in.

All in all, it's been a very helpful mod.
