Pro
Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAI search bar and product finder for Shopify. Shoppers ask in natural language (“cap under $100”, “in stock”) and get matching products plus a short AI answer grounded in your catalog and uploaded knowledge (PDF, DOCX, CSV, URL: size charts, shipping, returns). Add to cart from product cards, refine with follow-up chips. Synonyms, pin/hide rules, tone & guardrails, style editor, multilingual.
SearchSure replaces your store's search box with a search that understands product codes and synonyms. Shoppers can type part of a SKU or barcode and still find the item. You add synonyms so words like sofa and couch return the same products, and AI suggests new synonyms from searches that found nothing. Your theme's search filters stay as they are.
- AI answer streams above results, recommending 1-3 products from your catalog
- Knowledge base: upload PDFs, size charts, and FAQs for grounded answers
- Search-as-you-type with conversational follow-up chips and add-to-cart
- Insights dashboard: top searches, zero-result queries, clicks, and revenue
- Find products by any part of a SKU or barcode
- Synonym groups with CSV import and export
- AI synonym suggestions from searches with no results, approved by you
- Search analytics: top searches, no-result searches and clicks

How Shoplist compares apps
Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Nov 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
