Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureTurn lifestyle photos into shoppable images. Tag products on any photo, video, lookbook or gallery — or let AI pin them, match your catalog and draft captions. Shoppers tap a hotspot to see the product, pick a variant and add to cart without leaving the page, on desktop or phone. Shop the Look adds the whole outfit in one tap, with an automatic bundle discount that applies only to items bought from your images.
Lookbook helps merchants transform standard lifestyle photos into interactive shopping experiences. Instead of customers guessing which products are featured in an image, you can tag items with clickable hotspots that link directly to product pages. The intuitive drag-and-drop editor lets you arrange multiple galleries like Masonry Grids or Slideshows in minutes.
