What merchants praise

“This app has been a blessing for my business! I opted to host my store on Shopify specifically for this option, Shabbat Mode. Ceasing from buying and selling on the Biblical 7th day sabbath is a covenantal sign between the Most High and His people. Shabbat Mode allows me to honor Him in a very important way. An added bonus has been the ease of use of this app. I set it up and don't have to worry about it on the weekly basis, it always works!”

What merchants complain about

“Perfect for what we needed. But suddenly stopped showing on closed text (would only show our logo). Customers were extremely confused. I reached out to support, and no one has replied. It's been 3 weeks. Very unfortunate.”

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 .
