Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featurePackie Live shows real shipping rates from major New Zealand couriers at checkout, so merchants display exactly what carriers quote. The app fetches live rates from Fastway, NZ Post, PostHaste and CastleParcel using each store's own dimensions, weights and destination. Orders sync from Shopify so merchants can print labels and mark fulfillments.
PackOS solves the problem of inaccurate shipping rates at checkout. When box size is estimated incorrectly, merchants either overcharge customers and lose carts, or undercharge and lose margin. PackOS uses bin-packing logic to determine which box an order actually fits in, then queries live rates from USPS, UPS, FedEx, and other carriers for that specific package.

- Failover rates so checkout never shows zero options when carriers fail
- Bin-packing engine selects the recommended box for each order automatically
- Live carrier rates from USPS, UPS, and FedEx returned at checkout

How Shoplist compares apps
Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
