Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureintentLift tracks how shoppers move through your store in real time, showing where they hesitate and where they leave. When a visitor with items in their cart shows exit intent, you can display a configurable message to bring them back. Merchants see live sessions, full customer journeys, and conversion patterns from a single dashboard.
Checkout is not a single step. Shoppers move through contact, address, shipping and payment, and each one is a place they can quit. It tracks all four separately and shows how many shoppers stop at each, and the cart value that stops with them. Every figure comes with a confidence range. When there is not enough data to be sure, it says so rather than inventing an explanation.
