Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureStore owners often forget to update seasonal banners, leaving Christmas promotions up into January. Holidayify themes your storefront for each holiday on a schedule you control, then reverts everything once it ends. Turn the holiday banner into a sales tool: add a Shop now button, a discount code shoppers can copy or apply in one tap, and a countdown to your deadline.
Schedule your store's vacation in a few clicks. During the dates you choose, a banner tells visitors you're away and product pages show when orders will ship, so you can keep selling and avoid support emails. Prefer to stop orders? Pro blocks checkout with your own message. Everything turns on and off automatically on your dates, in your store's timezone, with nothing to remember when you leave or come back.
