Add-ons catalog
Add-ons extend DZBuild with features that are not part of the core platform. Most of them are opt-in, off by default, and non-destructive — uninstalling never touches your products, orders, or customers. Two exceptions are worth knowing up front:
- Facebook Catalog is on for every store and cannot be deactivated.
- Digital Product Variants currently renders on any Digital-theme product page that has variants, whether or not you activated it. That is a known defect, not intended behaviour.
How to activate an add-on
- Open Dashboard → Add-ons at
/dashboard/addons. - Find the card for the add-on you want.
- Check the required plan badge (Free / Pro / Unlimited / Enterprise).
- Click Activate. The card flips in place — there is no page reload. Four add-ons take you straight to their management page instead: A/B Testing, Pickup from Store, Short Links & QR Codes and Webhooks.
- Some add-ons add a dedicated dashboard page; for those, a new entry appears in the sidebar (e.g. Stock management, Reviews, Advanced orders).
To turn an add-on off later, click Deactivate on the same card. The feature stops; the data the add-on collected stays in place in case you re-enable it.
The add-on catalog
There are 23 add-ons. The installable grid on /dashboard/addons shows 19 of them. Four are pulled out of the grid: A/B Testing, Product Reviews and Facebook Catalog render as Management Tools cards (see below), and Claude sits in the External platforms section.
| Add-on | Category | Min plan | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| A/B Testing | Marketing | Pro | Splits one test link between 2 to 5 landing pages, compares their orders and conversion, then sends everyone to the winner. Managed at /dashboard/ab-tests |

| Webhooks — n8n / Make / Zapier | Tools | Unlimited | Sends a signed webhook to your automation tool the moment an order is created or changes status. Managed at /dashboard/webhooks |
Only these add-ons put an entry in the dashboard sidebar when active: A/B Testing, Advanced Order Management, Advanced Analytics, Product Reviews, Advanced Stock Management, Minimum & Maximum Quantity, Short Links, Webhooks and Pickup from Store. Cross-Sell, Custom Delivery Label, Custom Product Shipping, Shopify Import and Facebook Catalog have a management page too, but no sidebar entry — open them from the Settings (or Configure) button on their card.
External platforms
The same /dashboard/addons page carries an External platforms section, below the add-ons, for services that run outside DZBuild and connect to your store. Flash Manager is not an add-on: you connect an account there instead of activating a card. Claude is a real add-on with an Activate button, listed in this section because it links your store to a service running outside DZBuild.
| Integration | Category | Min plan | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flash Manager | External platforms | Free | Sends every new order to your Flash Manager confirmation team automatically, and brings their confirmation and delivery statuses back into DZBuild. Managed at /dashboard/addons/flash-manager |
| Claude | External platforms | Enterprise | Connects the Claude assistant to your store so you can create products, generate landing pages, check orders and read your analytics by chatting. Managed at /dashboard/addons/claude |
Built-in toggles
Two features are built into the platform rather than shipped as installable add-ons. They are off until you toggle them on, from their cards in the Management Tools section at the top of /dashboard/addons — they never appear in the installable grid:
- Promo codes — discount codes, managed at
/dashboard/promo-codes. - Countdown urgency — a countdown and a live-visitor counter on product pages.
Countdown urgency is configured once for the whole store, from the Settings button on its card: show countdown, show live visitors, cycle duration in hours (1-24, default 8), minimum and maximum simulated visitor count (defaults 15 and 50), visitor text and countdown title. The settings then apply to product pages store-wide.
Landing pages have their own, unrelated countdown and fake_visitors section types in the landing-page editor — those belong to the landing-page builder, not to this built-in.

Management Tools section
Management Tools is the first section of the /dashboard/addons page — not a sidebar group. It holds eight cards: Team, Google Sheets, Product Add-ons, Promo codes, Countdown urgency, A/B Testing, Product Reviews and Facebook Catalog.
Of the three add-ons that live here instead of in the installable grid:
- A/B Testing adds a sidebar entry when active → run your tests at
/dashboard/ab-tests - Product Reviews also adds a sidebar entry when active → moderate at
/dashboard/reviews - Facebook Catalog has no sidebar entry — open it from the Configure button on its card →
/dashboard/addons/facebook-catalog
Plan requirements
Each add-on declares a minimum plan. The badge on the add-on card matches the minimum: Free, Pro, Unlimited or Enterprise. Two of them require Enterprise: Advanced Analytics and Claude. If you are below the required plan, the Activate button is replaced by an Upgrade prompt that links to /dashboard/subscribe.
The plan is checked only at activation time. If you downgrade, add-ons you already activated keep running — but once you turn one off, you cannot re-activate it until you restore the plan.
Add-ons paused by your theme
An add-on can declare themes it is incompatible with. On such a theme the card is shown as paused: the Activate button is disabled, the add-on does not run, and nothing is uninstalled — its settings and data are preserved and it resumes if you switch back to a compatible theme.
Seven add-ons are unavailable on the Digital theme:
- Advanced Order Management
- Cross-Sell — Frequently Bought Together
- Custom Delivery Label
- Custom Product Shipping
- Pickup from Store
- Advanced Stock Management
- Stop Desk Selector
In the generic Settings modal on an add-on card, the characters <, >, &, " and ' are escaped before being saved, so they can render literally later. Avoid them in those fields. Add-ons with their own dedicated page (for example Custom Delivery Label) strip HTML instead.
Removing add-on data
Deactivation is reversible. If you also want the data an add-on collected erased for good, contact support. There is no self-serve hard-uninstall.
