Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSpec Pins helps you point out the details that sell a product. Open the editor, pick a product, and click anywhere on its image to drop a numbered pin. Add a short label and description for each one, then save. On the product page, shoppers tap a pin to read that feature in a tooltip. It works with your existing theme through a block you add in the theme editor, so there's no code to write and nothing to redesign.
SpecFlow organizes complex product info into structured tables, tabs, or accordions. Display technical details clearly without cluttered descriptions. You can apply a global spec table across your entire catalog or set specific overrides per product. Built natively on Shopify metafields, it operates entirely within your store without external dependencies.
