Drop-Model Shopify Storefront for a DTC Fine Jewelry Brand
Let's Connect
Problem
Weekly drops crashing checkout
A DTC fine jewelry brand with 12 showrooms built its business on weekly drops its templated Shopify store could not survive. Drop-minute traffic spikes crashed collection pages, carts held no reservation so pieces oversold, and inventory was allocated with no regard to region — some markets sold out in minutes while others sat on stock for weeks.
Solution
Drop-ready Shopify Plus rebuild
We rebuilt the storefront on Shopify Plus for drop mechanics: a custom theme with countdown launches and cached, pre-warmed collection pages, cart-level reservations via Shopify Functions so a piece is held once carted, and regional inventory allocation informed by each market's waitlist signups. Waitlist and back-in-stock flows now capture demand from every sold-out piece.
