Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureInstant Product Options lets you add option fields to your products so customers can personalize what they buy. Build text fields, dropdowns, checkboxes, color and image swatches, file uploads, and date pickers, then group them into reusable option sets assigned to products or collections. Premium options can add an upcharge — fixed, percentage, or per-character — carried through to the cart and checkout.
Optivo adds custom options to your products: engraving text, color and image swatches, dropdowns, checkboxes, dates, numbers and sliders. Selections are saved as line item properties on the cart line, so no product variants are created and your catalogue keeps only the SKUs you built. Any surcharge the choices add is applied at checkout by a cart transform function, so what a customer sees is what they are charged.
