Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMost abandoned cart apps wait until the shopper is gone. Clinch shows an exit intent popup at that moment, with a single-use discount on what they were viewing. On product pages the code applies only to that item, not your catalog. No email is required, so it reaches anonymous shoppers your email flows miss. It skips items already on sale, and the margin guard keeps discounts inside the limits you set.
SmartOffer is a standalone Shopify app that tracks cart abandonment with the native Web Pixel, scores each session from cart value and engagement, checks SKU COGS and Days of Supply, and enforces your minimum margin floor before creating an offer. When a discount is approved, SmartOffer generates a unique single-use code and sends the recovery email directly via Resend.
- Reach anonymous shoppers before they leave, with no email required
- Target single-use discounts to the product or collection each shopper viewed
- Choose eligible products, skip sale items, and never cross your margin floor
- Tie every recovered order to a real Shopify order ID
- Profit-safe discounts that respect your margin floor
- COGS sync and CSV fallback for missing costs
- Days-of-supply aware offers for overstocked items
- One-click pixel install — no code edits needed
