Open-source plugins — running inside your store — we never touch your traffic
A cryptographically fair waiting room your store enforces itself — open-source adapters, zero per-request callouts, no reverse proxy, no DNS changes. When traffic spikes for a drop or flash sale, shoppers wait in one tamper-proof line, and your store checks each admission pass locally, with no round trip to us on every page.
How a drop runs
From the moment the presale opens to the moment a shopper reaches checkout. Step through it, or let it play.
Automated clients are identified and turned away before they can take a position. Only genuine shoppers reach the pool, so the draw is over real people.
Automated clients stopped at the line
Everyone in the pool is assigned a position at once. Refreshing at 11:59:59 buys nothing, and a fast connection buys nothing — the slot you get does not depend on how you arrived.
A position is an artefact your store can verify on its own, not a number the browser is trusted to report. It cannot be forged, replayed, or handed to somebody else.
Your store admits at the pace it chose, and checks each pass locally — no call back to us on any request. The queue absorbs the spike; the origin never sees one.
What you get
Three parts: the line itself, the code that enforces it inside your stack, and the numbers afterwards.
In order, or drawn at random
One signed queue per drop. Run it first-come-first-served, or open registration ahead of time and draw every position at random the moment the drop starts.
Verified in your stack, every time
Your store enforces the queue itself. Install one MIT-licensed adapter and it checks each pass on the spot, with no network call.
See every drop as it happens
Watch the queue while the drop runs, then hand anyone a link to the report once it is over.
Under the hood
Most queue tools force a choice you shouldn't have to make: route all your traffic through them, or skip real admission control. We don't. Queue admission and pass issuance run in our cloud. A small open-source adapter runs in yours and does the enforcing, checking a signed pass on its own.
Your WooCommerce store, your Cloudflare Worker, your Node backend — all enforce the queue without sending a single shopper through us. Nothing slows down for your customers, and their payment details never touch our systems.
