One signal, six conditions

Learn what must change before the shopper buys.

BuyWhen treats each blocker as one structured conditional-purchase record—not six disconnected widgets and not an unbounded contact form.

Price

Capture an exact target item price, subtotal, cart total, percentage threshold, or any-discount request.

Stock & variant

Know the exact variant, quantity, substitution tolerance, and preorder or reservation willingness.

Delivery date

Collect need-by timing and flexibility, then qualify it against locations, cutoffs, and coverage.

Product question

Turn a purchase-blocking compatibility, material, sizing, or policy question into an owned workflow.

Bundle

Capture multi-product quantities, substitutions, all-or-partial preference, and target totals.

Custom quote

Structure configuration, MOQ, lead-time, budget, feasibility, and immutable quote revisions.

From blocker to paid order

A controlled path from “not yet” to checkout.

Every decision stays explicit, reviewable, and tied to live Shopify evidence.

01 · CAPTURE

The shopper states one real condition.

Product, variant, quantity, timing, identity, expiry, and separate communication choices create a usable request in under 30 seconds.

02 · QUALIFY

You see what is feasible and worth acting on.

Price, cost, stock, delivery, identity, compatibility, commitment, and confidence become a merchant-readable decision queue.

03 · CONVERT

Approved terms reopen safely in Shopify.

Private offers expire, bind to exact terms, revalidate on open, and reconcile paid orders, refunds, cancellations, and fees.

Demand you can operate

More specific than a waitlist. More responsible than a bid.

BuyWhen gives merchandising, growth, support, and operations one Live Order Book with a shared evidence trail.

  • Prioritize by feasibility, value, confidence, and expiry.
  • Group compatible demand without losing individual consent.
  • Counter with price, quantity, date, SKU, bundle, or value.
  • Keep unknown economics and operations under human review.

Beyond capture

The operating system behind conditional demand.

Designed for the full workflow—from storefront intent to decision, private checkout, reconciliation, measurement, and enterprise controls.

Demand Inbox

Search, filter, save views, assign owners, bulk-manage, export, and work against response SLAs.

Opportunity intelligence

See potential value, feasibility, calibrated forecasts, clusters, and honest uncertainty warnings.

Rules and automation

Use immutable rules, margin floors, segments, frequency controls, approvals, and a global kill switch.

Private checkout

Open public-price carts or approved Draft Orders with identity, quantity, expiry, and live revalidation.

Attribution and billing

Trace paid orders and append refund or cancellation corrections without rewriting history.

Enterprise control

Roles, SSO, multi-store organizations, privacy workflows, signed audit packages, and scoped APIs.

“A request is potential demand until it is qualified. An offer is not safe until its exact terms are revalidated.”

BuyWhen product doctrine

Trust is a product feature

Designed to fail closed when evidence is incomplete.

Price, inventory, delivery, identity, currency, discount compatibility, and attribution uncertainty never silently become a customer-facing promise.

  • Encrypted identifiers and opaque offer tokens.
  • Tenant-scoped access and role-controlled decisions.
  • Separate transactional and marketing consent.
  • Append-only events, audit history, and fee corrections.

Straight answers

Conditional commerce, without the fuzzy promises.

What is conditional purchase?

Conditional purchase lets a shopper state the exact condition that must become true before they buy. The merchant can qualify the request, accept it, counter it, keep it waiting, or decline it—then reopen an explicit Shopify checkout when the terms are feasible.

How is BuyWhen different from a wishlist or back-in-stock app?

Wishlists save products and stock alerts watch one event. BuyWhen captures price, exact variant and quantity, delivery timing, product questions, bundles, and custom requirements in one merchant-controlled Live Order Book.

Does BuyWhen automatically discount products?

No. Manual approval is the default for price and delivery commitments. Automation can be enabled only for explicit rules with complete price, cost, inventory, identity, and policy evidence.

Are private offers safe?

Offers are customer-, product-, quantity-, currency-, and expiry-bound. Price, inventory, identity, market, and active rules are revalidated before checkout. Opening an offer never charges a card.

Does BuyWhen claim every attributed sale is incremental?

No. BuyWhen separates attribution from measured incrementality. Paid orders, refunds, and cancellations remain traceable; controlled holdouts and minimum-sample warnings support responsible lift analysis.

Which languages does BuyWhen support?

Customer-facing request, offer, portal, email, and checkout-validation surfaces support English, French, German, and Spanish, with locale-aware money and dates.
