Gauge demand before a limited drop.

Join the waitlist

Be first to know when this limited run goes live.

Powered by Timesact

A sold-out variant becomes an email sign-up — no cart, no checkout. That's how notification experiences work.

What you can do

Waitlist, in detail.

Email sign-up on the product

Shoppers leave their email to join the waitlist for a drop that isn't on sale yet.

Read demand before you make it

See who's waiting so you can size a limited run to the interest you're actually seeing.

One email when it's live

When the drop opens, everyone on the list is emailed automatically — no manual send.

Export the list any time

Your subscriber list is yours; export it to CSV to bring into your email tools.

No code, per-variant

Turn it on for a single variant or a whole product — it renders natively in your theme.

Setup

Live in four steps.

Here's how you set it up. Prefer a hand? Our team will do it with you on a free call.

Questions

Waitlist, answered.

How is a waitlist different from Notify Me?
Same email mechanism, different moment: Notify Me catches shoppers on a sold-out product, while a waitlist gathers interest for an upcoming or limited drop before it's ever on sale.
Does it actually collect emails?
Yes — the waitlist captures customer emails so you can email them when the drop is live. (That's the difference from Coming Soon, which is visual only.)
Can I export the list?
Yes. Export your subscribers to CSV whenever you want to work with them in your email platform.
When do people get emailed?
When you open the drop, everyone on the waitlist is emailed automatically.
