Shopify development for Tasmanian distilleries with more demand than bottles
Tasmanian whisky and gin have a devoted following, and limited releases can sell out in minutes. Without a plan, release day means a crashed store, frustrated loyal customers and bottles going to resellers.
We set up Shopify for distilleries with allocation lists, release queues, per-customer limits and early access for members, so releases are fair and calm.
Fair releases
Allocation members get first access by email link, with quantity limits per customer. Remaining stock is released publicly at an announced time, with limits and bot protection.
A store that holds up
We trim the theme and apps before release day, and test the pages everyone will hit first.
Sound familiar?
The problems we hear most often about this, why they happen and what we would do first.

No limits, and anyone can buy at once.
What we would do first

Why this happens
Heavy theme and apps under peak traffic.
What we would do first
- Remove unnecessary apps and scripts
- Test the release pages under load
