Click the blue New Offer button at the top-right of your Sell tab. You will find more in depth information on how to create your offer here.
Enable Preorder Configuration
Offers in Topspin Plus and Enterprise accounts can be configured to automatically deliver digital preorder content. When you check the box to enable for your offer, you'll see the module expand to display Digital Delivery Date, Street Date Product and also the Instant Gratification Product.

Set your Digital Delivery Date
The digital delivery date is the exact time that all digital contents in your offer will be made available for fans to download. If this is set to a time in the future, fans will see a grayed out download link on their receipt, and the digital delivery date will be listed in the product description. When the digital delivery date arrives, fans will be notified to download their media from their live receipt, which will then show an active download link containing the media.
This is the exact time that all digital media included in both the Product Choice section, as well as the Street Date Product (if configured) will be made available for download.

Setting a Street Date Product
If the package set in the Product Choice section does not contain everything that you want to make available for fans to download at Digital Delivery Date, you'll want to set up an additional Street Date Product. This media will be unavailable until the Digital Delivery Date, and works just the same way as any digital media included in the Product Choice section above.
Choose the Audio Track and Video Formats you would like to make available for fans to purchase. They will be able to select from a drop-down at checkout if multiple selections are made available for your offer.
SUPER IMPORTANT: Once a Street Date Product has been set up, you must have a product configured here in order for download links to be made available at Digital Delivery Date. Please make sure that your product is correctly configured before the Digital Delivery Date. If the Digital Delivery Date passes and there is no product configured, no media will be made available for download at Digital Delivery Date.

Your Instant Gratification Product will be made immediately available at purchase. This is not governed by the Digital Delivery Date, and any media configured here will be made available for fans to download prior to any other digital media included in the offer.
If you would like to allow downloads of this product after the Digital Delivery Date, make sure to check the box so that fans can continue to download. If this box is not checked, fans will be presented with a grayed out inactive download link on their receipt after the street date has passed.
