The feature does not allow customers to purchase whole sets, and it limits customers to only purchasing six blind boxes during the restock.
Customers using Pop Now can scroll through the virtual displays, which contain multiple blind boxes. Depending on the product’s popularity, users may have to scroll for a while before finding a box that is available for purchase.
Once the blind box is picked, customers will be able to reserve it for five minutes. Once checkout begins, customers will have 15 minutes to complete their purchase. Otherwise, the item will be removed from their cart.
