Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureGridCart 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.
Color swatches, a gallery per color, combined listings. A variant carries only one image. Variantsy gives every color a gallery of its own: assign the photos once, and one click switches the whole set. The title switches too, rebuilt from the fields you pick. Selling each color as its own product page? Combine those listings: every page shows the full range and keeps its URL, SKU and stock.
