Live commerce stream handoff readiness checklist

A readiness checklist for confirming stream handoff cutoff timing, wave tags, and owner alignment before live-commerce orders enter the warehouse release queue.

Use when

  • A live session is still creating paid orders while the warehouse is already preparing the first release wave
  • The team needs a clean current-wave versus next-wave boundary before the stream ends and handoff volume spikes

Declare the stream handoff cutoff, first-wave tag rule, and one handoff owner before warehouse intake starts

The first release wave becomes unstable when teams discover the queue boundary only after the stream closes.

Confirm that current-wave orders and next-wave orders stay tagged separately while the session is still live

Continuous tagging prevents late-session orders from silently spilling into the first warehouse wave.

Publish the release note, warehouse intake target, and next-wave boundary together before the first handoff batch moves

One handoff packet is easier to execute when intake timing, queue ownership, and spillover rules are documented at the same moment.
