Description

Viral, referral based waiting lists to grow your product and customer base before launching.

Wait.li helps you pre-launch your Shopify store products while growing hype and publicity through social proof and exclusivity with referral waitlists. Customers join waiting lists and are activated one by one (or in batches) allowing them to purchase the product exclusively, with the option to invite friends to jump spots. Waiting lists give your store the opportunity to grow your customer base with excited fans, and allows you to launch the product to these customers when you are ready.

Grow demand & generate excitement about your product before launch
Launch your product in batches to specific groups of customers
Customer can refer friends to jump spots on the waiting list

Pros

Helps in generating hype and publicity for products through social proof and exclusivity
Allows for controlled product launches by activating customers in batches
Provides an opportunity to grow customer base with excited fans
Enables customers to refer friends to jump spots on the waiting list, potentially increasing word-of-mouth marketing

Cons

May require careful management to ensure customer satisfaction and prevent dissatisfaction among those who wait longer
Relies heavily on the effectiveness of referral systems which might not work as well in all niches
Could potentially lead to logistical challenges in managing pre-launch inventory

This app was super helpful to help us doing our product launch. We have sold out most of the items because of it. I highly recommend using them. I will definitely use them again when I am doing another product launch! S for Sparkle

I'm getting mad since the join waiting list button always be there even if I deactivate the status! I have tried to contact support for help, but nobody replies to me! I need to make the product to normal selling. But now, every new customer only see the waiting button instead of add to add button!

This app has been perfect for our needs! I recently changed our store theme and they helped me get all the coding switched over fast and accurately. I plan on using them for all my waitlist needs for my shop!

This app is wonderful. We use it to create "early access" lists for upcoming product launches. It helps us control the flow of traffic to products. I would definitely suggest trying it out! Patrick, the developer, is also a pleasure to work with. He is very responsive to my requests.
