The firm currently offers two Shopify app services. One of them is Addition, an Australia Post shipping platform with subscriptions starting at US$14.99 per month.

Meanwhile, Slide Cart offers a free plan that enables users to make store announcements, offer rewards and coupons, as well as cross-sell and upsell items on their ecommerce sites.
