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.
Built for salons, pop-ups, workshops, rentals and fitness — any appointment-based business. Run bookings inside your own Shopify store instead of a third-party site: you charge 0% booking fees no matter the volume, and every customer record stays yours. Guided setup creates your menus, hours and products in about three minutes.
- Behind every service stands a staff member.
- Create a service for your staff by linking it directly to a Shopify product
