Pre-Orders with Laravel Cashier

I have been tasked with building a very simple website to pre-order and eventually purchase a short book in PDF format. Of course I want to fo the route of Stripe with Laravel Cashier but I was wondering how I would handle preorders.

Is there something built in cashier/stripe or would I need to right this code myself?

Honestly, I would not use Laravel Cashier for one off purchases like that. Cashier is designed more for subscriptions and monthly SAAS apps like this site. I'd just use the Stripe provided libraries and just do a 1 off charge for when they pre-order. Then when they purchase the whole thing another 1 off charge with the remainder of the cost.
