What makes LemonPick different: Checkout Guard
Add-on prices only matter if they're charged. Theme changes, discount codes and other apps can all affect the cart. LemonPick's Checkout Guard builds test carts for your products with add-ons selected and compares the expected and actual totals, including with a discount code you choose. It flags any add-on total that doesn't match, so you hear about it before a customer does. Every option change is also saved as a version you can review, and on Growth and Pro you can restore one in a click.
