Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMissing or vague image alt text hurts accessibility and costs you search traffic. AltGenie scans your catalog, shows how many images lack alt text, and generates descriptive captions from the actual image plus your product title, tags, type and vendor. Run it across all products, chosen collections, or hand-picked items.
Missing or generic image alt text costs you sales — it hurts image SEO and shuts out shoppers who use screen readers. Writing it by hand for hundreds of products is tedious and easy to skip. AltScribe reads each product image and writes clear, accurate alt text with AI, describing what's in the photo. Generate one image or your whole catalog in minutes.
