See every featureDrop Control Room runs timed product releases with a fair virtual queue. Merchants schedule a drop, choose its variants, and open the lobby. Shoppers join from the product page and wait in a paced line. When admitted, they claim one item; the claim travels to the cart as a signed token, and a cart validation Function blocks checkout without one.
OrderRules – Checkout Limits helps merchants stay in control by letting them set maximum quantity limits on specific products or variants.
