Reserve stock at add to cart, verify it at checkout, and release expired holds automatically.

Cart Reserve holds available inventory when a shopper adds a protected product to cart. Each reservation is tied to a signed session and verified again at checkout. The storefront timer reflects the active hold, and expired reservations return to stock automatically.

Use Cart Reserve for limited stock, one-of-one products, restocks, flash sales, and product drops. Fair queues, scheduled drops, bot controls and analytics help manage demand. We tailor setup to your theme.
