Add a waitlist to Shopify

Put a drop or restock waitlist on a Shopify page with a Custom Liquid section.

Steps

Where it goes in Shopify

Takes a few minutes. Nothing to install on your side; the form loads from Unwaited and keeps the cap, hours, and numbers there.

  1. Copy the snippet from the Share tab

    Open your waitlist, go to Share, then Add to your site. Copy the script tag: <script src="https://unwaited.com/embed/v1.js" data-unwaited="your-slug" async></script>. It drops an iframe where it sits and resizes it as the form changes.

  2. Open the theme editor

    In Shopify admin go to Online Store, Themes, and click Customize on your live theme. Use the page picker at the top to open the page or product template where the form should appear.

  3. Add a Custom Liquid section

    In the left sidebar click Add section, search for Custom Liquid, and add it. Paste the script tag into its code box. Drag the section to where you want the form, then Save.

  4. Check the live page

    Open the page on your store. The form loads in your theme colors from the Design tab. Set the capacity and publish the waitlist if it is still a draft.

Snippet

The script tag

Replace your-slug with your waitlist's slug from the Share tab. The script drops an iframe where it sits and resizes it as the form changes.

<script src="https://unwaited.com/embed/v1.js" data-unwaited="your-slug" async></script>

If scripts are not allowed, use the iframe

<iframe src="https://unwaited.com/w/your-slug?embed=1" title="Waitlist" width="100%" height="480" style="border:0;max-width:100%" loading="lazy"></iframe>

FAQ

Questions

Can I show the waitlist only on one product page?

Yes. Open that product's template in the theme editor and add the Custom Liquid section there. Templates apply to every product using them, so create a separate product template for the one product if needed.

Does it work with a password-protected launch page?

Yes. The password page is a template too, but many themes limit what sections it accepts. If Custom Liquid is not offered there, use Edit code.

Can I use the iframe instead?

Yes. Paste the iframe snippet into the same Custom Liquid section. It will not auto-resize, so set a height that fits your form.
