How it sells itself

Core connects to your store, scores every product and page across three pillars — Products, Page Design, and Customer Confidence — and quantifies exactly how much revenue each issue is costing you. Then it tells you precisely what to fix and how, in plain English. No consultants. No guesswork. Weekly automatic rescans track your progress over time, so your store keeps improving.

ReasonWhy reads your existing returns data and uses AI to group return reasons into clear categories, so you can stop guessing why customers send items back. It ranks your products by return impact and explains the real reason behind each one, whether sizing, fit, quality, or misleading product pages, then gives you evidence-backed fixes.

Key points
  • Per-product scores across Offers, Page Design, and Customer Confidence pillars.
  • Quantifies revenue at risk per product so you know exactly where to focus first.
  • Plain-English instructions — tell you exactly what to change and how to do it.
  • Weekly automatic rescans track score improvements over time.
  • AI-grouped return reasons that turn raw returns data into clear, fixable themes
  • Products ranked by return impact so you fix the costliest issues first
  • Evidence-backed page fixes for sizing, fit, imagery, and copy
  • Reads from your existing returns and review tools, no workflow changes

FAQ

Core and ReasonWhy: common questions

What features does each app list that the other doesn’t?
Core lists 8 the others don’t mention, such as Benchmarking, Checkout analytics, Data export, Funnel analysis. ReasonWhy lists 2 the others don’t mention, such as Activity tracking, GDPR compliance. A feature missing from a listing may still be supported; this compares what each App Store listing says.
Where does this comparison’s data come from?
Shoplist crawls Shopify storefronts to detect which apps each store runs, and reads each app’s Shopify App Store listing for reviews, pricing, features and integrations. Store counts are as of Oct 14, 2026; estimated figures are labeled.

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 14, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
