Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureForgeward 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.
Most stores pay one app to stop bad addresses, another to upsell at checkout, and a third to survey buyers. That is three bills and three scripts in one checkout. This app does all three. Block PO Box, Postfach and Packstation addresses in 10+ languages, require a house number, and restrict zip codes, countries, or order values. Add one-click upsell offers from a collection or your best sellers.
