 * I am attempting to find a solution so that we can offer several different kinds
   of shirts for sale, take payment for the shirt, but only charge the payment when
   a certain number of that kind of shirt has been ordered.
 * In other words, we put a shirt on the site but will only sell the shirt once 
   we hit a minimum of 20 or 25 shirts ordered.
 * I have looked through the plug-in gallery but can’t find anything outside of 
   minimums per customer & that sort of thing.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi [@invertedm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/invertedm/),
 * This sounds pretty similar to the crowdfunding model and is a scenario where 
   the [WooCommerce Pre-Orders](https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-pre-orders/?aff=10486&cid=1131038)
   extension would shine.
 * It’ll allow you to set your shirt product as a pre-order item that is only charged
   upon release. In your case, you’ll want to set a release date that is far to 
   the future and once you hit your minimum order requirement, you can release the
   product and cause all your customer’s cards to be charged.
 * It’s best to be upfront to your customers about this so that they know how long
   they need to wait to find out if this is successful or not.
 * You also want to make sure that you’re using one of the payment gateways listed
   here as they are the ones that support this type of operation – [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/pre-orders/#section-20](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/pre-orders/#section-20)

 * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved–
   if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
