Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureWhen a shopper abandons checkout, Auto Recover texts them from a dedicated UK number and starts a real two-way conversation. The AI reads your catalogue, shipping rules and returns policy, so it answers questions about price, delivery or sizing with your store's own information, then sends the shopper back to their cart. You set the tone and cap any discount it can offer.
CartKeeper helps store visitors complete their purchase with AI chat and WhatsApp automations. The on-site bot answers questions, shows product images, and can add items directly to the cart. Automated WhatsApp follow-ups reconnect shoppers who left before finishing checkout. You can also send bulk promos, order updates, and review requests.
