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the data requirements Shopify documents for Catalog and Agentic Storefronts, plus checks we infer where those rules are unpublished.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.
CatalogPulse helps merchants evaluate product visibility in Shopify's Global Catalog without changing storefront content. Run buyer-intent queries, review sampled catalog results, and compare the query with active product data. Catalog-readiness scores highlight missing titles, descriptions, categories, product types, search metadata, identifiers, and attributes.

- Read-only. Nothing in your store is ever changed or rewritten
- Check Global Catalog visibility for buyer-intent queries
- Track sampled query results and matched products over time
- Score catalog readiness using practical product-data checks
