Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureEternal Banners adds sale banners to your theme that don't look like every other store. Pick a shape for the banner's edge, add your photo or video, and set a countdown for your promotion. When the timer ends, the banner can hide, show a message or play an effect. Everything is set up in the theme editor, adapts to mobile and loads only what each banner uses.
Wave Bar puts an announcement bar across the top of your storefront in about a minute. Show one message, or write up to three and they rotate on a timer you set. Add a link, pick your colours and fonts, and choose whether shoppers can close it. Add a countdown when the deadline is the point.
- Wave, slant, arc, curve and zigzag shapes, set up in the theme editor
- Countdown timer that can hide, show a message or celebrate when it ends
- Confetti, sparkles and more effects that respect reduced motion
- One fixed message, or up to three that rotate on a timer you control
- Countdown to a date, or a repeating timer that rolls over on its own
- Separate text sizes for phones and desktop, so it reads well on both
