Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureThis app turns any product or variant into a bookable service. A booking calendar appears on the product page, where customers pick a date, a time and a staff member, then check out as a normal Shopify order. For each service you set the duration, buffer times, daily limit, booking window and the working hours of each staff member, so only slots you can serve are offered.
Bookly adds appointment booking directly to your Shopify product pages, so customers can schedule services without leaving your store. Customers select a date, time, and add-ons, then complete their booking through your existing Shopify checkout. Confirmation emails send automatically and appointments sync to Google Calendar.
