Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSimple Pre Packs turns size variants into sellable pre packs for merchants who sell fixed size runs. Define how many of each size belong in a pack, and manage pre packs from the app admin. Customers buy one pack at checkout; orders expand into component sizes and quantities for fulfillment. Price and available quantity follow your size inventory automatically.
Bundles have components, and when a customer buys a bundle it breaks down into its original products after checkout. Variant Bundler lets you turn any variant into a bundle made of any products. Add Multipacks, Kits and Variety Packs to any product as a Variant. Stock Levels automatically calculate so you never oversell. Set prices for bundles independently of what's inside them.
