 * Hi Uli.
    I’d like to know if it’s possible to customize labels by adding “backorder”
   text for those products with backorder set. Thanks in advance.

 * Hi alemanrengo84.
 * WooCommerce includes notifications for this. Do you want to be able to override
   these definitions, like “Available on backorder”? Or do you want to define special
   cart button labels?
 * Regards.

 * Hi Uli
    Sorry for delay. I was quite busy. What I meant is to use the labels,
   which usually show text like “free”, “new”, “out of stock” or “sale”, to show“
   available on backorder” message. Is it possible to do this via woocommerce? I
   don’t think so. That’s why I asked if wcpgsk would do that. 🙂 Thanks!

 * Hello alemarengo84.
 * The next update will include basic support for this. You can specify a backorder
   label and display the backorder label on the shop page if the product is available
   on backorder.

 * Hi Uli!
    I got wcpgsk updated this morning! I… realized I meant **badge**, not
   additional labels… 🙂

 * Hi alemarengo84.
 * As a badge this may enter into conflicts and I don’t feel that this is an implementation
   that will suite most users. The “on sale” and the “available on backorder” are
   not really compatible. The same goes for the free badge label. Additionally: 
   That a product is available on backorder can not be announced (badged) like with“
   Free” or “On sale!”. In nearly every language this is a “design breaking”, long
   phrase consisting of several words.
 * If there’s more demand for it, I may think about offering a more versatile implementation
   but right now you will have to live with the offered solution.
 * Regards.

 * Thank for you reply Uli,
    I will surely deal with your solution of an additional
   label, which is also customizable via css. The only thing that worries about 
   it is that your label should be a separate div, or better I expected it was a
   div separated from price content. But this is off topic. Thanks for your reply
   and congrats on your wonderful work!

 * Hi alemarengo84.
 * It’s separated. You can style it via css. Just have look into the code.
    I will
   attach an additional class in the next update to help you with styling and to
   separate the message from others.
 * Regards.
