What happens if my site struggles?

Pause entry with one click or one API call. Visitors keep their place in line until you resume.

Can I fully customize the HTML?

Yes. Start from any template or write your own HTML and CSS with variables like {{waitTime}} and {{queueIsFull}}.

Pick FIFO for first-come-first-served or lottery mode to shuffle everyone who joins before the event starts.

What if Waitrooms itself has trouble?

Your site never depends on us to stay up. Admitted visitors carry signed passes that verify offline, and the script tag opens the page if it can't reach us.

How long does setup take?

Most teams go live in under five minutes. Large events usually take one afternoon with a test run.

Will bots skip the line?

Invisible bot challenges run before a visitor gets a position, so scalpers don't get a head start.

What counts as a queued visitor?

Anyone who has to wait in line. Visitors let straight through when there's no line are free.

No. Keep your DNS where it is. Use our script tag, SDK, or point a single CNAME for edge-level protection.
