Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureFrictionIQ automatically analyzes return reasons, refund notes, and related customer feedback. It groups recurring complaints into clear categories and shows which product, fulfillment, or customer experience issues need attention. Instead of reviewing notes manually, merchants can track changes over time and receive scheduled email reports with concise AI-generated summaries.
Shopify shows which products were refunded and for how much. It doesn't put the reason beside them. Refund Impact ranks products by refunded amount, then shows the reason your store recorded and any note the buyer wrote, word for word. Where a reason points at the listing, it names only what answers it — "not as described" on a product with no description. Where nothing explains the return, it says so.
