Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureOne app for sale prices, coupons, automatic discounts and volume discounts. Set discount prices in bulk, show compare-at prices crossed out at checkout. Run a flash sale, scheduled sale or recurring sale with start & end dates; regular prices are restored when it ends. Add quantity discounts with a tiered pricing table on product pages.
Running promotions is risky - too many discounts hurt margins, too few lose sales. Blocsy uses AI to decide when to show offers to each visitor. Your AI store manager tracks behavior, identifies intent, and shows personalized offers only when they're most likely to close the sale. It learns from results and adjusts automatically. You control the autonomy level - from manual approval to fully automated.
- Promote your sales with customizable announcement bars
- Show customers their savings in the cart
- Apply discounts for multiple products automatically and roll them back when need
- Set up a single launch or recurring discount schedule
- AI decides when to show offers based on each visitor's shopping behavior
- Protects your margins by showing discounts only when they'll work
- Choose your control level: observe only, approve decisions, or full autopilot
- Learns from every result and automatically improves its promotion strategy
