Sell out in minutes, at a price you choose.
Ticdown runs live price drops: your product starts at full price and the price falls every few seconds until it sells out. A crowd watches, the fastest buyers win, and you pay 10% only on what sells.
Most drops end early: when the last unit goes, it's over.
How it works
- 1List a productYour normal price (an RRP you've genuinely sold at), up to 20 units, and the most you'll discount: 20% to 80%.
- 2Book a slotPick a 12-minute slot on a Drop Night, 8pm Sydney time. Up to 3 drops a night. We check every drop before it goes live.

What you'd get
Per unit, before shipping. The buyer pays your shipping on top and it all goes to you. Card fees come out of our 10%, not yours. Nothing sells, nothing to pay.
Why shops use it
You pay 10% of the sale price only when something sells, with a 50c minimum. Card fees come out of our share.
You choose the lowest price. If it gets there with stock left, the drop ends and the stock stays yours.
Everyone watching sees your shop and your store link for the whole drop, buyers or not.
People can save your shop and follow your products. We tell them when you book your next drop.
Buyers need a saved card and address before a drop, and they confirm within 30 seconds. No time-wasters, no haggling.
A Drop Night is an event. People turn up to watch, so your product gets a few minutes of full attention.
Questions
What does it cost?
10% of the item price for each unit sold (minimum 50c), nothing else. Shipping goes to you in full. If nothing sells, you pay nothing.
When do I get paid?
Ticdown uses Stripe. When you open your shop you connect your bank account through Stripe, and each sale is paid out to you on Stripe's normal schedule, usually within a few business days.
What can I sell?
New products you sell in your own store. Not allowed: anything illegal, weapons, tobacco and vapes, alcohol, prescription medicines, counterfeit goods and gift cards.
Why do you ask about the RRP?
Australian Consumer Law says a 'was' price has to be genuine. Your RRP must be your genuine usual price, one you've actually sold the item at for a reasonable period recently (as a guide, 12 weeks), so the discount buyers see is real.
What do I need to sign up?
An ABN, your online store's website, and a bank account for Stripe. It takes about 10 minutes. We review new shops, usually the same day.
What if I need to cancel?
You can cancel a booked drop any time before it starts. Once you've sold something, please ship it: a sale you cancel counts against your shop.
Got stock to move?
Sign up in about 10 minutes. No fees until you sell.
