Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureCan't find the most effective pricing or discount percentage that converts the most visitors while maintaining your profit margin? Our chatGPT AI Assistant solves that by finding out the highest price each customer is willing to pay and offering the optimal discount to each customer via real-time negotiations. Your customers can make an offer and receive tailored discounts.
Blanket discount codes give away margin to shoppers who would have paid more, and you can't negotiate with every visitor yourself. Flux adds an AI agent to your product pages. When a shopper hesitates, it invites them to talk price, then negotiates in real time in your brand voice, never below the hidden price floor you set. Offers under your floor are saved for you to approve or decline.
