Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureHalt is a discount blocker with a pause switch. Pause turns off every active code and automatic discount at once and keeps a snapshot. Resume brings back exactly what you paused, with the original end dates, now or on a timer. At checkout, block every code, all except a list, or just a list; allow one code per order; keep codes off sale items; or add your own rules by cart total, customer tag, product or collection.
Set checkout guardrails for promotions without editing your theme. The app rejects eligible conflicting discount codes and blocks checkout when final line amounts violate a published rule. Create storewide or targeted safeguards, set minimum final amounts or maximum markdown percentages, protect sale items from additional discounts, add country and buyer exemptions, and preview outcomes in the simulator.
