Camouflage: Hide Sold Variants and RT: Smooth Scroll To Top both aim to enhance the user experience on Shopify stores, but they address entirely different needs. Camouflage focuses on optimizing product discovery by allowing merchants to control the visibility of product variants based on inventory, location, or other conditions. It directly addresses a common frustration point: customers encountering sold-out variants only after selection. RT: Smooth Scroll To Top, on the other hand, provides a simple navigation aid – a scroll-to-top button – particularly useful for stores with lengthy product pages or extensive content. The apps have similar perfect ratings, but Camouflage boasts significantly more reviews, suggesting greater adoption and potentially a broader applicability across various store types. Both fall under Shopify's 'Design elements' category. Camouflage tackles inventory and product visibility, while Smooth Scroll To Top focuses on site navigation.

The choice between Camouflage: Hide Sold Variants and RT: Smooth Scroll To Top depends heavily on the merchant's specific needs. If a store struggles with customers encountering sold-out products and a desire for improved inventory management visibility, Camouflage is the clear winner. Its granular control over variant display can significantly improve the shopping experience. However, if the primary concern is improving navigation on long pages, particularly if the store's theme lacks a built-in scroll-to-top feature, RT: Smooth Scroll To Top provides a quick and easy solution. Stores with large catalogs and varying inventory levels will likely find Camouflage more valuable, while RT: Smooth Scroll To Top is more of a 'nice-to-have' for any store with lengthy pages.
RT: Smooth Scroll To Top is likely easier to set up, as it primarily involves installing the app and customizing the button's appearance. Camouflage requires more configuration to define rules for hiding variants based on inventory, location, or other conditions.
No, Camouflage allows you to hide or disable variants without deleting them, which is useful for maintaining historical data and potentially restocking in the future.
Indirectly, yes. By improving user experience and site navigation, RT: Smooth Scroll To Top can contribute to longer visit durations and lower bounce rates, which are positive signals for search engines.
Camouflage is primarily designed for physical products with inventory management. Its benefits are less applicable to stores selling digital goods, as inventory is typically not a limiting factor.
Camouflage likely has a greater *potential* impact on conversion rates because directly addressing customer frustration related to sold-out items tends to drive more sales. Smooth Scroll To Top offers only a subtle improvement in user experience. The actual impact, however, depends on how well the store owner sets up Camouflage to meet their specific needs
