The phrase is used to indicate that a product or service will be available for purchase or use in the near future. You can also use the adverb prochainement as a single-word equivalent for "coming soon" in marketing contexts. Other ways to express this include À venir, meaning "to come" or "upcoming" and D'ici peu, which translates to "in a little while" or "shortly".
What does it mean word for word?
