Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureOne notice bar, three jobs. Turn on vacation mode with an optional date range and message, and hide Add to cart while you're away. Set weekly store hours so shoppers see when you open next. Count down to your daily shipping cutoff, then show the next shipping day. Every time uses your store's time zone, so shoppers abroad see your clock, not theirs.
Keep shoppers informed about holiday closures, shipping delays and reopening dates. Create announcements in Shopify admin, schedule them in your store timezone and let them expire automatically. Match your storefront with custom colors and a responsive, dismissible bar. Enable the app embed in your theme editor without editing code.
