Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBarly shows a bar that nudges shoppers toward your shipping threshold: the amount left updates instantly as the cart changes, and confetti celebrates the moment the goal is reached. Bars render on the server, inside the first HTML your store sends, so they appear together with the page itself — on any theme.
StackBar adds a free shipping progress bar and an announcement bar to your store. The free shipping bar shows shoppers how close they are to free shipping and updates live as the cart changes, with automatic currency conversion. The announcement bar rotates up to 5 scheduled messages with links. A true Online Store 2.0 app embed: no permissions, no customer data, under 8KB JS, no external requests.
