Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSearchSentry replaces your storefront's search box with one that actually finds things. Shoppers can search by SKU (exact, partial, or without dashes), by brand or manufacturer, by product type, and by words that only appear in your product descriptions. Your catalog syncs automatically and stays current as products change.
SearchSure replaces your store's search box with a search that understands product codes and synonyms. Shoppers can type part of a SKU or barcode and still find the item. You add synonyms so words like sofa and couch return the same products, and AI suggests new synonyms from searches that found nothing. Your theme's search filters stay as they are.
- Finds products by SKU - exact, partial, even with the dashes missing
- Searches descriptions, vendors and tags, not just product titles
- No-result report: see what shoppers searched and missed - fix lost sales
- Find products by any part of a SKU or barcode
- Synonym groups with CSV import and export
- AI synonym suggestions from searches with no results, approved by you
- Search analytics: top searches, no-result searches and clicks
