차별화
실패 가능 요인
자가 반박 — 가장 중요한 신뢰 신호
- 1Merchants may simply prefer to natively toggle 'continue selling when out of stock' and manually send a single blast email, refusing to pay for dedicated software.
- 2Strict merchant account processors (like Stripe) might penalize merchants for taking pre-orders too far in advance, regardless of the communication tool used.
- 3High churn rate because merchants only experience out-of-stock crises a few times a year.

Several store owners highlighted the tension between maintaining advertising algorithm momentum and managing customer expectations during stockouts.
