Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAI 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.
AI agents are now recommending products to customers. If your product data isn't structured correctly, agents will skip your store entirely. SKAW analyses your catalog the way AI agents do - checking for missing GTINs, weak descriptions, incomplete policies, and unstructured data. You get a readiness score from 0-100 with specific fixes prioritised by impact.
