Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureRunning a store means jumping between reports, ad accounts and spreadsheets that rarely agree. Aplon brings them together. Connect your store and it builds your profit and loss from your order history. Add your costs once, then see margin by order, product and country. Meta, Google and Snapchat spend sits beside the orders it brought in. Customers, funnel, refunds, shipping and stock sit there too.
