Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureForgeRecover reviews recent cart activity and identifies likely reasons carts were abandoned, such as hesitation over the total, too many items to decide on, or comparison shopping. Each cart is then matched to a recovery email written for that reason instead of one generic message.
Shoppers abandon carts every day. Retainify wins them back — automatically. Build multi-step flows on a visual canvas: timed emails, web push, and WhatsApp messages, with delays and exit rules between each step. Start from ready-made playbooks for abandoned cart, welcome, post-purchase, and win-back — or build your own. Capture emails with exit-intent popups and a spin-to-win wheel.

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 13, 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.
