Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBuild a storefront that feels like your brand. Browse theme sections and page templates, then customize colors and fonts. Add product recommendations, build-your-own bundles, quantity discounts, gifts with purchase and cart upsells. Preview layouts before installing and finish setup in Shopify’s theme editor. Templates use your section allowance; home pages use guided setup. Selling tools require Grow or Full Access.
SectionGuard stores your custom sections in the app, not in your theme code. Because they live outside the theme, a theme update or switch does not break or delete them. Build each section with HTML, CSS and JavaScript or from a prebuilt template, preview it live, and insert dynamic product, collection and shop data with tokens. The app never needs write access to your theme files.
