Configure when your countdown ends, and how your site behaves when the timer reaches zero, including date, time, timezone, auto-unlock, and redirect behaviour.

Settings Overview

Next Drop Configuration ​

Date Selection ​

Choose the date when your countdown should end using the calendar picker:

  • Past Dates: Disabled to prevent accidental configuration
  • Date Format: Automatically handles your locale settings

Time Selection ​

Set the exact time when your countdown ends:

  • Format: 24-hour format (HH:MM)
  • Precision: Minute-level accuracy
  • Example: 14:30 for 2:30 PM

Timezone ​

Required: Select the timezone for your countdown:

  • Global Accuracy: Ensures customers worldwide see the correct countdown
  • DST Handling: Automatically adjusts for daylight saving time
  • Validation: You must select a timezone before saving settings

Site Access ​

Automatic Unlock ​

Configure what happens when the countdown reaches zero:

  • Automatic (Checked): Remove protection and restore normal site access automatically
  • Manual (Unchecked): Keep protection active after countdown ends (requires manual disabling)

When automatic unlock is enabled, you'll see a confirmation message showing your exact unlock schedule:

"Automatically unlock my site when the countdown ends, on Friday 15 November 2026 at 14:30 (GMT +00:00)"

Redirect Configuration ​

When automatic unlock is enabled, choose where customers are redirected:

  • Home: Redirect to your store's homepage
  • Collections: Redirect to a specific collection page
  • Products: Redirect to a specific product page
  • Pages: Redirect to a custom page

Only active collections and products appear in the dropdown options.

Activation ​

Lock Site + Activate ​

When Dropify® is disabled, this button will:

  1. Immediately activate site protection with your countdown overlay
  2. Display your countdown page to all visitors instead of normal site content
  3. Completely block all normal page content from loading (not bypassable by users)
  4. Begin collecting customer data through your form

Update Settings ​

When Dropify® is already active, this button updates your configuration without disrupting the current protection status.
