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.
"UR: Smart Image Hot Spot" lets you place up to 5 interactive pins on any product image. When customers click or hover a pin, a tooltip shows custom content. Set separate images and pin positions for desktop and mobile, so it looks great on any device. Choose from dot, plus, or number pin styles, and control when tooltips appear—on hover, on click, or always. No coding needed.
