Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMarginShip creates a free-shipping rule that evaluates discounted cart subtotal, delivery cost, and existing discounts before applying a benefit. Set an optional order threshold, shipping-cost ratio, product or collection exclusions, and a configurable combined promotional cap. Cart messages are customizable in every plan. Growth simulates Shopify-returned rates; Scale adds decision diagnostics.
Shipping costs can discourage customers from placing smaller orders. This app lets customers collect items across multiple orders toward a free shipping threshold. Once reached, all orders release and ship together at no cost. If the cart expires before the threshold is met, a shipping invoice is automatically sent to the customer. You control the item threshold, cart duration, and which products qualify.
