Story 29.3. Drop Logic & Product Selection (Updated)

Written by

General Info

Defines which products appear in each daily drop and how they transition to public visibility.

  • Products are managed via Airtable tag Dark Archive and synced to WooCommerce.

  • Each product has a First Drop Date defining its first appearance in a drop.

  • Products can be new or existing; existing in-stock items will be hidden from /bags, search, and their PDPs during drop hours.

  • Visibility stacks forward by date — any unsold product with First Drop Date ≤ today remains in later drops.

  • Sold-out items are excluded automatically.

  • Sort order is managed directly in WooCommerce or overridden in Drop Overview.

  • After 19:00 CET, all new products become public on /bags and PDPs; the internal Dark Archive tag is never visible to users.

User Story

As a user, I see only the current day’s and unsold previous Dark Archive products during the drop, and all past drops afterward; as a sales admin, I can include both new and existing products and control inclusion and order through WooCommerce or Airtable.
