Drop Engine for Stores

Turn your next product release into an event. Drop Engine lets you schedule a launch for any Stores products, show shoppers a live countdown, and keep checkout closed until the exact moment your drop opens. Customers can see the products and add them to the cart early, but they can only buy once the launch window starts. Set a start and end time in the time zone you announce the launch in. Launch times are checked against the server's clock, so changing the time on a shopper's device won't open a drop early. When the window closes, you decide what happens next: restore normal purchasing, or keep the products unavailable until you're ready. The countdown appears on your product page automatically and shows each product's launch status. You can also place the countdown element anywhere on your site and match it to your design with your own fonts and colors. It supports right-to-left languages and adapts to mobile screens. Build anticipation before launch day with a built-in waitlist. Shoppers sign up from the product page with clear consent, duplicate signups are filtered out, and you can review every entry from your dashboard.
