Pricing entry tiers: Smart Product Filter & Search at Free plan available, Smart Synonym Search at Free plan available.

Ottima Assistenza, grazie
We've been using this app across various stores for longer than I can remember, at least 4 years. It's our go-to filter and search app. Fantastic support from Clara who goes over and above to ensure we are taken care of. Thank you!
I have a store with hundreds of poster prints, and this app has been the missing piece I've been looking for. I only wanted a clean, simple search bar without the extra filters and buttons, but I couldn't figure out how to set it up myself. Clara from support responded within minutes and had everything configured exact
