DropAloft

1 · What DropAloft does

DropAloft shows store-owned numbers on your storefront: recent units sold, low stock, free-shipping progress toward your threshold, and optional community campaign goals. Each widget reads your Shopify data and hides when there is nothing meaningful to show.

Widgets are theme app blocks. You place them in the theme editor on product, collection, cart, home, or header/footer groups. The app does not replace your theme.

2 · Install and plan

1. Install DropAloft from the Shopify App Store (or your Partner install link).
2. Open the app. Authenticate through Shopify (no separate DropAloft account).
3. Start the plan: $14.99 / month with a 7-day free trial, billed through Shopify.
4. On a development store, Shopify issues a test charge with no payment method.

3 · Setup wizard

First launch walks you through placement and numbers. Typical path:

1. Keep my theme (recommended for App Store review stores).
2. Place widgets with the deep links into the theme editor (Add / confirm).
3. Confirm thresholds (for example free-shipping dollar amount, sold minimum-to-show, low-stock threshold).
4. Continue to the main app when you are ready.

Day-two settings (style, campaigns, toggles) stay available after setup.

4 · Theme app blocks

Common blocks:

• Sold counter on the product page (rolling window from paid orders).
• Product-card sales on collection or home product cards.
• Low-stock signal when inventory is at or below your threshold.
• Free-shipping / AOV bar on product pages and in the cart.
• Campaign goal meter for a community unit goal.
• Recent-sales chips (desktop; uses order timestamps).

Place blocks in Online Store → Themes → Customize. Prefer one sold and one stock signal near add to cart. Extra duplicates of the same widget on one page are suppressed so shoppers do not see stacked copies.

5 · Campaign goals

Open Campaigns in the app. Set a unit target and scope it store-wide, to one collection, or to one product. Progress counts paid units and reverses on refund or cancellation.

• Optional deadline: the meter can show the open window while it runs.
• You can edit label, target, or excludes without resetting progress.
• Below your minimum, the meter stays hidden.

6 · Thresholds and style

• Sold minimum-to-show (default often 3): hide until the count is worth showing.
• Low-stock threshold: show only when remaining inventory is at or below it.
• Free-shipping amount: should match a free rate in Settings → Shipping and delivery.
• Style: shapes, meter look, and optional glass surface; preview before save.

7 · Billing

One plan includes every widget and every campaign. Charges run through Shopify Billing. Cancel anytime from the app or Shopify admin. After cancellation, paid storefront widgets stop rendering when the subscription is no longer active.

8 · Data and privacy

Order and refund webhooks are used for product_id and quantity plus non-personal flags (for example test, financial_status, created_at). The app stores aggregate counts per product, not shopper name, email, phone, or address.

Full policy: dropaloft.com/privacy.html. Compliance webhooks (customers/data_request, customers/redact, shop/redact) are implemented.
