Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureFramewright reads your live theme's colours and imports your product catalogue, then writes a week of short-form video scripts in your brand's voice. Approve the ones you want and they render with AI narration and word-synced captions, composed so the platform's caption bar never covers your words. Download them, or send them to your TikTok inbox as drafts.
MerchReel turns your existing products into short videos. It reads each product's title, description, price, and photos, then builds a video where an AI avatar presents the item while your product images play alongside. Captions are added automatically, and each video comes in vertical, square, and widescreen sizes at once. Post them to Reels, TikTok, and Stories, or embed them on the product page.
