Shopping Apps

Definition

A price that changed after you saved the item is the whole point of a list. Shopping apps compare, track, and check out — wishlists, coupons, and delivery windows. They are not Finance (a bank ledger) and not a generic Lifestyle mood board. The ugly facts are seller identity, return windows, and whether a 'deal' is personalised. Wishlists that cannot alert on a drop are just bookmarks. Treat in-app checkout as a store of record: the email receipt is the evidence. Counterfeit listings are a marketplace problem the icon will not solve.
