Happy Checkout
Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureCheckout Links turns any offer into a direct checkout link. The cart is pre-filled, the discount is applied, and the customer lands on checkout, or in a popup where they pick first. Share it from Meta ads, Klaviyo email, SMS, Instagram DMs, QRs, or anywhere you can paste a link. Dynamic links even recognise the customer: shipping address pre-filled, last order or abandoned cart rebuilt in one tap.
Happy Checkout lets you customize your order confirmation and status pages with a personal greeting, featured YouTube video, and social media links. Add a warm thank-you message that customers see after checkout. Feature a YouTube video to share a product tutorial, brand story, or personal thank-you.
