Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShopify loads all the images of all the variants together on the product page. This slows down the site & makes it overcrowded. Say, you have a product with 15 variants & 6 images per variant. 15x6 = 90 product images will be loaded. Instead of showing all images, the Clever app displays images of the selected variant only.
Many product pages do not show details of the selected variant, so customers have to guess. Reveal: Variant Details adds a block to the product page that shows the selected variant's SKU, availability, vendor, product type, barcode, stock count, weight and variant metafields. The details update when the customer changes the variant.
