# Retrieve developer

`GET https://app.stoqapp.com/api/v2/external/preorders/settings/developer`

The preorder developer settings: dev mode, the custom CSS, and the theme CSS selectors that place the Preorder button and each preorder element on product pages and on the home, collection and search product lists. Shop-wide, not per offer. The selectors are used only while dev mode is on. Dev mode and CSS are shared with back-in-stock.
