Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBotScrub reviews your newest customer accounts and flags fake customers and bot signups, such as links or gibberish in names, disposable emails, and bursts of similar fake accounts. Each flag shows plain-language reasons so you can review spam customers before you clean up. Tag and unsubscribe them from email and SMS, suppress them in Klaviyo, or archive them in Mailchimp.
DupeGuard stops customers from exploiting your discounts — it doesn't manage the discounts you create. Install it and it scans your recent orders for free, then shows a dollar figure: how much of your one-time discount went to the same shopper under a different email. It looks past the email address — Gmail aliases, disposable inboxes, repeat phone numbers — and links accounts that are one person.
- Flags fake accounts and bot signups with clear reasons for each customer.
- Unsubscribes spam customers and syncs cleanup to Klaviyo and Mailchimp.
- One-click undo for every batch, and never deletes or touches buyers.
- Estimates Klaviyo and Mailchimp bill impact from flagged fake customers.
- Audit of your recent orders - see what discount abuse already cost you
- Links one shopper's accounts by email alias or repeat phone number
- Every flag explained in plain language with the evidence behind it
- Roommates stay safe - a shared address alone never links two accounts
