Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureEasily launch sample sales, VIP events, early access, product drops, and more. Atelier allows you to create branded, invite-only capsule stores in just a few clicks. You can password-protect sales or whitelist specific emails for VIP access. Sales are hosted on unique URLs or can be embedded on your site. Hide products and collections from your store and ensure limited access.
VIP Early Access lets you open a product launch to your VIP customers first. Group customers into VIP tiers by tag, total spent or number of orders, then choose when each tier and the general public can buy. Products stay locked at checkout until a customer's tier opens, so a shared link cannot skip the line. Signed-in customers see their tier and upcoming launches on a VIP page and on each product page.
- Make collections exclusively available to your Atelier store.
- Create as many private sales as you like, all with their own URL.
- Retain full control over access, visitors need a password to access the sale.
- Create VIP tiers from customer tags, total spent or number of orders
- Schedule launches with a different opening time for each tier
