This is very cool! Do the “drops” expire after a certain amount of time or just become able to be bought after a specified time? Wondering if in your research you discovered any use cases or demand for items that may expire and not be purchasable after a set time or not.

Thank you! Right now we leave it up to the sellers to create their own FOMO & decide how to use the drop feature. Right now, the drops don't expire after a certain time period automatically, but that is a really cool feature idea! The two most common things we've seen are sellers whose drops immediately sell out (in which case they just delete the drop from their website) or sellers whose drops don't fully sell out, and it that case they typically leave the drops on their website moreso as curated collections for people to shop after the typical drop window has passed.
