Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShopify's B2B checkout includes a purchase order field, but cannot make it required or check the format buyers enter. PO Number Validator adds that control. Set your rules once, and every B2B buyer must enter a PO number matching your format before placing an order. Validation runs server-side, so it applies to every checkout type.
Forgeward adds the address and cart rules Shopify checkout doesn't enforce on its own, on any plan and without theme code. Reject orders shipping to PO boxes or addresses you don't serve, with your own message at checkout. Set minimum and maximum quantity per product and minimum and maximum cart total.

- Show buyers translated error messages for each market you sell in
- PO box and address blocking, with your own message at checkout
