I think there’s room for abuse with what you describe. Someone could take up an entire release and keep them in checked out and have their friends ready and waiting for x amounts of minutes to pass and then grab them.
With this an other popular item releases you have to be prepared ahead of time. With all Shopify websites they will store all your info and Payment info. All I have to do is input a code they text me and press a button and my order gets placed. Only way to go.
