    What merchants praise

    I highly recommend this app! Finding this app was heaven sent for my business! I am not very tech savvy but there was lots of easy to follow steps, and if you do get stuck on something like I did on some of the customization I needed, the customer service is fantastic! A special thank you to Diana, she was right there in chat support and took the time and help me get set up in minutes. Thank you Downpay!

    Methodology

    Where the numbers come from.

    Ratings, review counts, pricing tiers, “Built for Shopify”, launch date, and category memberships come from the live Shopify App Store listing — refreshed daily by Ongoing.AI’s crawler. The review-count trajectory is the diff between today’s snapshot and snapshots from 7 and 28 days ago. Topic counts and sentiment come from the review corpus, topic-tagged with Claude. Install footprint is observed via Ongoing.AI’s tech-detection pass against actively-tracked Shopify storefronts. Catalog position is computed at snapshot time against every active app sharing the primary category. Snapshot generated .
