AI Readiness lite
Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMissing weights make carrier-calculated shipping price parcels as though they weigh nothing. Empty descriptions leave search engines nothing to index. A product with no price cannot be bought. This app scores every product against the data requirements Shopify documents for Catalog and Agentic Storefronts, plus checks we infer where those rules are unpublished. Fixes are ranked by the revenue behind each one.
AI Shopping Readiness scans product descriptions, images, variants, tags, media signals, and policy clarity to find gaps that make products harder for buyers and AI shopping assistants to understand. It gives merchants a readiness score, top fixes, a priority report with a ranked work queue, product-level actions, scan history, and PDF, CSV, and JSON exports.
