Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShoppers rarely search the way catalogs are written. They ask for "a graduation gift for my niece" or "everyday studs, nothing flashy" — occasions and constraints, not product titles. Personal Shopper AI puts a chat bar at the bottom of every page. It reads your products, collections, blog posts and pages, then answers in your store's voice with real, in-stock items a shopper can click straight through to.
Shopper Buddy adds an AI chat widget to your storefront for product search and recommendations. Shoppers can describe what they want in plain language and get suggested optimal products. It can also answer common store questions like delivery, returns, and payment options. It uses your product catalog and stays in sync as products change.
