Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSome shoppers never finish a checkout form, but they will happily send a message. Chat via WhatsApp adds a chat button to your product pages and a floating button across your store. One tap opens WhatsApp with the product name, link and amount already written, so the shopper starts by telling you what they are asking about. Style it all from the theme editor - no code.
Shoppers often leave when a question goes unanswered. Whatme adds a WhatsApp chat button to your store so they can reach you in one tap, from a floating button or next to Add to cart. Each message includes the page or product, so you know what they're asking about. Add several agents, set business hours and see which products get the most questions, then ask Sidekick (where available) to improve those pages.
