See every featureVIP 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.
Choose which customers can buy a product, and from which date. Each window names who may buy, using customer tags, and opens at midnight in the store's time zone. The product stays visible. The product page shows the schedule you write and hides or dims the buy button until that customer may purchase. Cart and checkout block the order and show your message.
