Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureWe're Shopify store owners in Australia. We built this for our own six stores first, and it runs on all six today: the assistant we wanted at 11pm, when a shopper asks "will this fit?" and nobody's awake. It answers from your products, pages and policies, not from general knowledge, and re-reads your store nightly. Shoppers get product cards, a lead form and verified order status. Install it and look around.
Shoppers leave when they can't find the right product or a quick answer. Flows adds an AI chat to every page of your store that answers from your products, sizes, stock and policies. The chat shows matching products as cards with prices and sizes, adds them to the cart and sends shoppers to your Shopify checkout. After they buy, shoppers ask the same chat where their order is.
- It answers from your products, pages and policies — your words, not guesswork
- Product cards in chat with photo, price and a link to the product page
- Order status shown only after the shopper verifies on two details

- An AI chat that answers from your products, sizes, stock and policies
