Seeking solution for cart reservation.

Topic summary

A user is seeking an app to reserve limited-stock items in shopping carts to prevent checkout conflicts. The specific scenario involves one-off items where Customer A adds an item to their cart, but Customer B purchases it first before Customer A completes checkout.

The desired solution would implement a temporary hold (suggested ~10 minutes) on items once added to cart, ensuring the first customer has priority to complete their purchase.

Proposed Solution:

  • Another user recommended a newly launched “Product Reservation App” available in the Shopify App Store
  • The app appears designed specifically for this real product reservation use case

The discussion remains open for feedback on whether this solution meets the original poster’s needs.

Looking to find out if there is any apps that help with Cart Reservation

example: 1 off items,

customer A adds limited item that has 1 in stock in their cart but before they can complete the check out process

customer B adds the same item in their cart and checks out before customer A

is there an app or how would i go about seeking a solution to maybe set a timer for these special items to be held in a cart for like 10 mins? Thanks
