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 badge on the card: Available means your plan already includes the add-on; a plan name (PRO, UNLIMITED or ENTERPRISE) means you need that plan first.
Click Activate. The card flips in place, without a page reload. Seven add-ons take you straight to their management page instead: A/B Testing, Pickup from Store, Short Links & QR Codes, Webhooks, WhatsApp Sender, Claude and ChatGPT.
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 25 add-ons. The installable grid on /dashboard/addons shows 20 of them. Five are pulled out of the grid: A/B Testing, Product Reviews and Facebook Catalog render as Management Tools cards (see below), and Claude and ChatGPT sit in the External platforms section.

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, Pickup from Store and WhatsApp Sender. 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 Manage catalog) button on their card.
External platforms
The same /dashboard/addons page carries an External platforms section, right after Management Tools and above the installable 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. The section also holds Octomatic and Ecomanager cards, which open their own connection pages (Ecomanager needs a paid plan). Claude and ChatGPT are real add-ons with an Activate button, listed in this section because they link your store to a service running outside DZBuild.
Integration | Category | Min plan | What it does |
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 | |
External platforms | Pro | Sends every new order to your Ecomanager shop and brings its order states back into DZBuild. Managed at | |

External platforms | Enterprise | Connects ChatGPT or Codex (by OpenAI) to your store so you can create products, generate landing pages, check orders and read your analytics by chatting. Managed at |
Apps built by outside developers appear in the Developer apps section of the same page once you install one: see Apps.
Built-in toggles {#always-on-built-ins}
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-testsProduct Reviews also adds a sidebar entry when active → moderate at
/dashboard/reviewsFacebook Catalog has no sidebar entry; open it from the Manage catalog button on its card →
/dashboard/addons/facebook-catalog
Plan requirements
Each add-on declares a minimum plan. The card shows the plan name (PRO, UNLIMITED or ENTERPRISE) only while your plan is below it; once your plan covers the add-on, the badge reads Available. Three add-ons require Enterprise: Advanced Analytics, Claude and ChatGPT. If you are below the required plan, the Activate button is replaced by Upgrade to Pro, Upgrade to Unlimited or Upgrade to Enterprise, which links to /dashboard/subscribe.
For most add-ons 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. Advanced Analytics, Claude and ChatGPT are the exception: they stop working while your store is not on the Enterprise plan and work again once it is.
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
⚠️ Warning — Text typed into add-on settings is stored HTML-escaped
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.
