Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureDaily Drops puts a calendar of numbered doors on your store for any holiday, launch or event. One door opens each day with a reward you chose: money off, a gift with purchase, shipping at no cost, a gift card or something to read. Pick the rewards and Daily Drops drafts the day-by-day schedule and wording. You approve every day before anything is created in Shopify.
Gratis gives shoppers a free gift when their cart meets your offer: a minimum spend or a number of items from chosen products or collections, optionally only for tagged or logged-in customers. The gift goes into the cart automatically, is free at checkout, and comes back out with a short note if the cart stops qualifying. Checkout refuses a gift the cart hasn't earned, express checkouts included.
