Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAster keeps a running timeline of every change made to your store — theme and customizer edits, products, collections, inventory, and discounts — so you always know what changed and when. Connect Meta and Google Ads to bring campaign, ad set, and ad changes onto the same timeline. Every change is stamped with a performance snapshot, so you can look back and see what happened around any update.
Merchants often change titles, prices, images, or variants without an audit trail, which makes it hard to know what listing was live when orders came in or why performance shifted after an edit. This app records those changes as versions, attributes order lines to the matching version, and surfaces sales and refund activity in one place so you can decide what to keep, what to fix, or when to restore an earlier…
