Lighthouse: Slack Alerts and WeSupply Returns & Exchanges, while both rated 5/5, cater to drastically different Shopify merchant needs. Lighthouse focuses on providing real-time Slack notifications for specific orders, allowing merchants to monitor high-value transactions or other key orders immediately. This is ideal for merchants who need to proactively manage their order flow and require immediate awareness of particular transactions. In contrast, WeSupply Returns & Exchanges, although sharing the 'Staff notifications' category, is likely focused on managing returns and exchange processes which suggests it would alert staff regarding such events. Given the limited information, the difference lies in *what* the staff are being notified about: order values vs. returns/exchanges.
