Plan a drop and open it for pre-orders

A drop is a batch you make for one day, reserved ahead. Plan it, publish it, and change it even after customers reserve.

  1. Start a new drop

    In “Drops”, tap “New drop”. Give it a name customers will know it by, in each of your shop’s languages, and a description if it helps: what’s in it, and anything to know before pickup.

  2. Choose the pickup day

    Set the day and the time customers collect. Every time is on your shop’s clock, wherever you are. A drop has no pickup place of its own: customers collect from your shop’s pickup point, set in “Settings” → “Pickup points”.

  3. Open and close reservations

    With “Set times”, reservations open when you publish, or at the time in “Opens”, and close at the time in “Closes”: leave yourself time to make everything. With “Until pickup”, they open when you publish and close at pickup.

  4. Add products, prices and stock

    Add products from your catalogue: each comes in with the price and stock of its last drop. Change them for this one, knowing nobody can reserve more than the stock you set. Until you publish, “From another drop” brings in another drop’s products with their numbers, and dragging them sets the order customers see.

  5. Save a draft, or publish

    “Save draft” keeps the drop to yourself, to finish later. “Publish” asks once and says what happens next: the drop shows on your storefront straight away, open for reservations or under “Coming soon” until they open. Nobody is emailed, so share your link.

  6. Change it after it opens

    Add products, raise the stock or move the closing time, then tap “Save changes”. Once someone reserves a product, its price is fixed, so everyone pays the same. It stays in the drop, and its stock can’t go below what’s reserved.

  7. Next week, or a change of plan

    From a drop’s ⋯ in “Drops”, “Duplicate” copies it with its products, prices and stock, a week or more ahead, for you to check and publish. “Cancel drop” takes it off your storefront: the reservations already made stay, and nobody is emailed, so let those customers know.
