Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBuilt for supplement, CBD, kratom and skincare stores. Aplomb scans product descriptions, pages, blog posts and collections, plus the text printed on product photos and labels, and flags disease claims, cure language and missing FDA disclaimers. Cosmetics get their own rules, detected automatically. Review each flag, then apply a suggested rewrite in one click, with an audit trail.
QCME scans your product descriptions and marketing copy for potential FTC and Google Merchant Center violations. The app uses AI to analyze each listing, flag issues by severity, and suggest specific fixes. Run a store-wide scan to review all products or use the copy checker to validate text before publishing. The GMC store audit checks your store policies for refund, shipping, and privacy requirements.
