In the British pronunciation shown, stopper, copper, chopper, and shopper all end in -opper with the same /ɒpə/ sound as the final -stopper of showstopper. Proper is a useful lookalike: it is spelled -oper but pronounced /prɒpə/, so its ending also matches. Note the first syllable of showstopper is /ʃəʊ/, not /ʃɒ/ as in shopper.
