Drop & Exclusive Access

This feature is available on the Bloom plan and above.

Overview

Drop & Exclusive Access allows merchants to temporarily lock their app and control when it becomes accessible again. During the lock period, all users who open the app will see a custom waiting screen. Merchants configure the lock window, brand the screen with their own content, and choose how users gain access once the drop goes live.

How to Enable / Configure

Enable Drop & Exclusive Access

1. Go to the Overview section of your Shoppy Dashboard.

2. Locate the Drop & Exclusive Access card and enable it.

3. You will be redirected to the creation page.

Step 1 — Set the time window

1. Set the Start Date — when the lock screen will start appearing to all app users.

2. Set the End Date — when the app will become freely accessible again.

Step 2 — Customize the waiting screen

1. Upload an Icon to display on the lock screen.

2. Enter a Title for the lock screen.

3. Enter a Subtitle for the lock screen.

Step 3 — Choose the Action Type

1. Button — displays a CTA button. Enter the custom link the button will redirect users to.

2. Password Protection — restricts app access to users with the correct password. All other users remain on the lock screen until the end date.

3. Save your configuration.

The lock screen is shown to all app users regardless of login status. Only users with the correct password can bypass it when Password Protection is enabled.

Use the Button action type to redirect users to a waitlist, a teaser landing page, or your social media profile during the locked period.
