Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureApps request scopes - including AI and agentic apps. This app classifies each granted scope, flags protected customer-data and broad-write access, and scores your store Low to High (higher is safer). Staff and collaborator reviews get overdue flags; drift alerts fire when scopes, owners, or costs change. Export CSV or PDF evidence. Manual app-cost tracking flags duplicate paid categories.
Most fraud apps give you a risk score, a guess. ApexGuard verifies. On orders Shopify flags, plus any orders you choose. It shows what's risky and what's safe, then verifies the buyer for a clear answer: genuine or not? The strongest check confirms a code from the customer's bank statement that only the true cardholder can give, with no friction, and it's only one of several verifications we offer.
