How It Works
Create a waiting list via the app's super simple creation page.
Once created, any customer that navigates to your specified product page will be shown a "Join Waiting List" button instead of the typical "Add To Cart" button.
Once the customer clicks "Join Waiting List", they are prompted with a minimal popup modal that asks them to register / sign in to a store account. Once registered, they are added Wait.li's database and are sent an email confirming their registration on the waiting list.
They are not able to purchase the product until they are activated from the Wait.li waiting list.
When you are ready, activate your customers via Wait.li - after a customer is activated, they are sent another email including a link to purchase your product. Simple as that!
NOTE - Only customers that are activated via the app are able to purchase the product. All other customers are still unable to purchase your product (unless you disable the waiting list).

December 2019 Update
Increased app performance
Better designed emails for your customers
Re-activate customers (bulk available as well)

August 2019 Update
(OPTIONAL) First & last name no longer required on customer registration
(OPTIONAL) Send customers directly to checkout using Shopify permalinks
(OPTIONAL) Disable the Wait.li branding in emails sent to customers (Professional/Enterprise plans only)
When a customer is activated from a waiting list and sent the activation email, clicking the button in that email now opens the product page with the "Sign In To Purchase" popup active, meaning less friction for your customer to sign in and purchase the product.
(TESTING / BETA) Variant support! Send us an email to request product variant support; we are testing it before releasing it app-wide, so let us know!
