Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureCheckout Gateflow runs if-then rules at checkout for shipping, payment, validation, and discounts. Hide or rename shipping and payment methods, block checkout with a custom message (for example P.O. Boxes), or offer a percentage off or free shipping. Match on country, province, cart total, quantity, address, company, customer tags, products, collections. Rules run as Shopify Functions—no theme embed.
Make products pickup-only, local-delivery-only, shipping-only, or unavailable for selected delivery types. With Pro, restrict manual rules by destination country—for example, make alcohol pickup-only in Finland and Sweden while normal shipping remains elsewhere. Automate rules by collection, tag, vendor, or product type. Preview results in Simulator, catch setup issues, show Cart Warnings, and review coverage.
