For bands and labels

One hundred fifty pressings. Fans pick a variant and a size.

A hard cap for the pressing, a dropdown for the variant, and a size for the shirt. Fans see their number, you export in order, and the form says full when the run is spoken for.

The problem

The Bandcamp preorder page and the merch table do not talk

You announce the pressing on tour and fans DM their address. The label's Google Form has no cap, so 400 people want 150 records. Half of them wanted the clear variant and you pressed 50. Shirt sizes come in as free text, including one that says medium-ish.

The recipe

Exactly what the button sets up

Capacity, reset time, opening hours, and the form fields. It is a starting point, not a cage. Every value is editable in Settings and the builder.

Recipe

Second pressing

  • 150 spots total, one per email. The form reads as full at 150.
  • No opening hours. Open the list when you announce the pressing.
  • Asks for variant, shirt size, and shipping country.
  • Fans see their number on the success screen.
  • The count is shown so fans see the run moving.

How it works here

How the list works

Cap the run

150 pressings, 150 spots. The form says full when they are gone.

Variant and size

A multiple-choice field for the variant, a dropdown for the size. Show/hide rules can show the size only for the bundle.

Shipping country

A text field now, so you can quote postage before you send the checkout link.

Number the fans

"You're #37." Early fans get the low numbers, which they like.

Push to your store

On Pro, a signed webhook per signup into Shopify, Airtable, or a script.

Ship in order

CSV in position order with variant, size, and country.

Why it holds up

What matters most

You know the variant split before pressing

Export by variant. If 120 people want clear, press more clear.

Sizes are a dropdown, not a guess

No more medium-ish. Sizes come in as S, M, L, XL, 2XL.

The form matches the sleeve

Dark background, mono type, your accent. Tokens, set once.

One link for the tour

The hosted page goes on the merch table QR and in the bio. Same link, whole tour.

FAQ

Questions people here ask

Can fans pay for the record here?

No. Unwaited does not take payments. Send checkout links in position order from Bandcamp or your store.

Can I cap the clear variant at 50 separately?

Not within one waitlist. Create a second waitlist for the clear variant with its own cap of 50.

Does it email fans when it ships?

Fans get a confirmation with their number when they join. Ship notices go out from your store.
