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.

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.
