Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureWhen shoppers can't save wishlist favorites, they leave and you lose repeat visits. Lyst adds a guest wishlist so shoppers save favorites on product and collection pages. Customers create multiple named lists. They share lists via link, email and social. Lists sync across devices when customers sign in. Wishlists show sale badges, sold-out labels, and original prices so buyers see current status.
SaveLayer is a universal save layer for your whole store. Logged-in shoppers save anything: products, variants, collections, pages, and blog posts, into one or more lists synced across your Online Store, headless storefront, and customer account. Saved data is stored natively as Shopify metaobjects in your store, so it stays private and portable, never locked in a third-party database.
