Backorder systems vary from one business to another. Backorders are usually in place when an item is unavailable or when the items you want to purchase exceed the number of products available.

For example, if you want to order for 10 baseball caps and your supplier has only six caps available on hand. You can backorder the remaining six and have them delivered on a particular date. Another good example is if you want to purchase a domain, but it is currently unavailable because another registrant has it registered. You can purchase a backorder system, and it will be your registrar’s job to attempt the domain registration for you.
