Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.

Abandoned carts keep their products, including carts left before checkout, which Shopify's abandoned checkouts never list. A daily email sums up yesterday's carts, checkouts and orders, where they came from and what to fix.

How Shoplist compares apps
Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Nov 10, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
