Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureGD: Variant Swatches replaces the standard dropdown on your product pages with visual swatches, so shoppers can see color and style options at a glance. Swatches are generated automatically from your variant images and option names, so most stores need no setup or code.
GridCart replaces variant dropdowns with a size by color grid on the product page. Shoppers see every combination at once, enter a quantity in each cell, and add the whole selection to the cart with one button, through Shopify's own cart rather than a custom checkout.
- Automatic swatches: created for your options with no manual setup
- Multiple styles: color chips, image chips, buttons, or dropdown
- Full control: style each option separately with a live preview
- Manual overrides: set a custom color or upload an image per value
- Size by color grid with a quantity field in every cell
- Add all to cart in one click, through Shopify's own cart
- Live preview on your own product before publishing
- Quantity rules: minimum, step, and maximum per line
