Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureFindReplace helps merchants update visible storefront wording without editing theme code. Create replacement rules in the embedded admin, then apply them across the storefront or to selected Shopify Pages, products, collections, and published store languages. Whole-word matching, regex options, and searchable selectors help merchants make cleaner text updates while keeping theme files intact.
Sales end. Wording does not. Section Control changes any text on your live store and puts it back when you say, so the sale headline goes up Friday and the normal one returns Monday. Use it once, or on repeat every weekend. It reaches wording your other apps put on the page, not just your theme's, and you write the words yourself, in whichever language you sell in.
