Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSortLock keeps selected products in fixed collection positions while unpinned products continue following a native sort rule. Choose from six supported collection orders, then add pins for launches, seasonal products, and featured items. SortLock reconciles changes in the background, records activity and conflicts, and restores the original collection sort order when you unlock.
Most shoppers only see the first rows of a collection. Too often that's where sold-out items and slow sellers sit, while bestsellers and new arrivals are buried further down. Sorting by hand takes hours and is out of date by the next sale. SortWise re-sorts your collections every hour using real sales, views, and inventory, so the right products always lead.
- Pin products to fixed positions while the rest keep sorting automatically
- Choose six native collection sort rules for unpinned products
- Capture manual-order conflicts before restoring the protected collection
- Restore the collection's original sort order whenever you unlock
- Featured Products: pin & drag-and-drop featured products
- Collection Analytics: track performance and get insights into your collections
- AI-driven strategy: use multiple merchandising strategies, including AI
- Optimized Results: Automatically moves sold-out items down
