Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAwayly closes your store on the dates you choose, every week, or for Shabbat and Yom Tov by your city's sunset times, and reopens it on its own in your store's time zone. While you're closed, checkout refuses orders, including Buy it now, Shop Pay and direct checkout links. Shoppers keep browsing and see a bar, pop-up or full page that says when you're back.
Wave Bar puts an announcement bar across the top of your storefront in about a minute. Show one message, or write up to three and they rotate on a timer you set. Add a link, pick your colours and fonts, and choose whether shoppers can close it. Add a countdown when the deadline is the point.
