Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMost themes hide variants behind dropdowns - shoppers don't see your colors or sizes until they click into each product. Smart Variants renders every variant as its own card directly in your collection grid. Split by any product option, filter by stock or sale state, and apply different rules per collection. Variant cards inherit your theme's styling automatically, so it works without theme code or designer time.
SmartStock detects which products are out of stock for the variant a shopper has filtered on. Those products automatically get a grey overlay and a sold-out badge. No code needed, no theme editing. Shoppers see exactly which products match their chosen size, color, or variant. No more clicking on products only to find out they can't order. Less frustration, more conversions.
