Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureWhen shoppers click ads or links from social media apps like Instagram or Facebook, those links open inside in-app browsers instead of Chrome or Safari. In-app browsers can break checkout, pixels, analytics, auto sign-ins, and payment flows — leading to abandoned sessions and unreliable tracking. Flare automatically detects these in-app browsers and redirects shoppers to Chrome for a good experience.
Nitro X lets you identify visitors, view intent signals, and sync that data with your CRM, marketing tools and other tech stack. Use real shopper insights to personalize journeys, build qualified audiences, and run effective campaigns. No cookies, simple setup, and built for stores focused on improving conversions and retention.
- Works on both iOS and Android by redirecting shoppers to Safari and Chrome.
- Ensures instant redirection on click.
- Helps reduce drop-offs by avoiding in-app browsers without auto-complete.
- Automatically moves visitors from in-app browsers to their native mobile browser
- Preserves tracking parameters for accurate analytics and improved attribution
- Provides a faster, more stable browsing environment, reducing bounce rates
