Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureStorefront AI Chatbot adds a chat assistant to your storefront that answers shopper questions about products, shipping, and returns. It answers only from your store's real content, so it never invents prices, policies, or products. When it doesn't know, it says so and points shoppers to your team.
SellBot sells from your real catalog: shoppers get product cards with Add to cart, and answers from your shipping, return and FAQ policies. Smart Triggers open the chat at the right moment. When a shopper asks for a person, the AI steps back and your phone speaks up: reply as yourself from the free iOS/Android app or the admin, with roles and business hours.
