Pro
Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureDecionis is a deterministic checkout action gate for Shopify. Preview and enforce payment, discount, order-limit, inventory, catalog, and margin rules inside Shopify admin. Shopify Functions apply checkout guardrails, while signed Decision Dossiers explain which rule triggered and why. Start in read-only Shadow Mode and enable enforcement only when ready.
Forgeward adds the address and cart rules Shopify checkout doesn't enforce on its own, on any plan and without theme code. Reject orders shipping to PO boxes or addresses you don't serve, with your own message at checkout. Set minimum and maximum quantity per product and minimum and maximum cart total.
- Allow, block, or escalate checkout actions with deterministic rules
- Catch catalog drift and promotion stacking before orders complete
- Generate signed Decision Dossiers that explain governed actions
- Preview impact in Shadow Mode before enabling enforcement
- PO box and address blocking, with your own message at checkout
- Minimum and maximum quantity per product and cart total
- Validation health: see in your Shopify admin when a rule stops applying
