Pre-Orders

Pre-orders let users reserve a spot in your collection before it fully launches. When pre-orders are enabled, users buy passes that entitle them to receive NFTs and tokens once the pre-order window closes.

How Pre-Orders Work

For Creators

1. Enable pre-orders during collection or token launch creation
2. Set a pre-order duration (1-7 days)
3. Launch your collection — the pre-order window opens
4. Share the pre-order link with your community
5. When the window closes, the platform handles distribution automatically

For Buyers

1. Find a pre-order in the Binder Explorer (Pre-Orders tab) or via a direct link
2. Buy one or more passes at the calculated pass price
3. Wait for the pre-order window to close
4. Receive your NFTs and tokens automatically

Pass Pricing

Each pass has a fixed price calculated as:

Pass Price = Bonding Curve SOL / Collection Supply

This means:

• Larger collections = cheaper passes
• The bonding curve value is a platform-wide constant
• All buyers pay the same price regardless of when they buy

Pre-Order Lifecycle

After launch, a pre-order collection moves through these statuses:

1. Pre-Order Selling

The collection is live and accepting pass purchases. Users can see:

• Total supply and how many passes are sold
• The pass price
• Time remaining
• Collection details and about page

2. Collecting SOL

The pre-order window has ended (either timer expired or 100% sold). The platform is collecting and processing all SOL from participants.

3. Creating Token

For token launches, the platform creates the token on PumpFun. This happens automatically — no action needed from the creator.

4. NFT Distribution

NFTs are minted and sent to all pass holders. Each pass corresponds to one NFT. If vesting is configured, the vesting schedule begins at this point.

5. Active (Binding)

The collection is now fully live. NFTs have been distributed, tokens are locked inside them according to the vesting schedule, and the marketplace is active.

Pre-Order Cancellation

If a pre-order doesn’t meet its goals, the creator can cancel it. When cancelled:

1. Status moves to Cancelled
2. All SOL is refunded to pass buyers
3. Refunds are processed automatically (status: Refunding)

Note

Participants receive a full refund when a pre-order is cancelled. No fees are deducted.

Pre-Order Actions (Buyer View)

After participating in a pre-order, your activity shows these status labels:

Status	Meaning
Pre-ordered	You bought a pass and are waiting for completion
Pre-order Refunded	Your SOL was returned after a cancellation
Refund Pending	Your refund is being processed
Pre-order Transferred	Your pass was transferred to another wallet

Pre-Order Settings for Creators

When enabling pre-orders during collection creation, you configure:

Setting	Options	Notes
Token Ticker	Up to 10 characters	The symbol for your new token
Token Name	Up to 32 characters	The display name for your token
Duration	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 days	How long the pre-order window stays open
Vesting	On/Off	Whether tokens vest over time after distribution

Tip

Pre-orders combined with vesting create a powerful incentive structure. Vesting rewards long-term holders and discourages immediate dumps after launch.
