Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAlyon replaces your store's default search with AI-ranked results, so shoppers find products even when their words don't match a product title. It corrects typos, understands synonyms, and suggests products when a search finds nothing. In each collection you choose a goal in plain English, such as balanced or revenue, and the Alyon Collection Grid block orders products toward it.
Ryzo turns product discovery into a few taps. Shoppers upload or snap a photo to find visually similar products, or type a query and let AI-powered search understand what they mean — even with typos or vague wording. Smart filters adapt to each search so shoppers refine by what matters. Click any product to surface similar items and recommendations.
