Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShoppers browse across devices, but Shopify carts don’t follow when they switch devices. Persistent Cart prevents lost sales by automatically syncing logged-in customers’ latest carts across devices in the background. No emails, pop-ups, notifications, opt-ins, or code changes — just seamless cart persistence that reduces abandonment, grows AOV, and helps shoppers keep buying instead of starting over.
Persistent Cart saves every logged-in customer's cart and restores it on phone, tablet and desktop, so abandoned carts come back instead of being lost. This cart saver syncs silently or with a welcome-back popup showing saved products. Bought items never return.
