How it sells itself

AuditRay gives merchants a complete searchable history of every change in their store. Whether a staff member updates prices, a freelancer modifies products, or a bulk-edit app changes inventory, you see exactly who changed what and when. Field-level diffs make it easy to spot mistakes. Get alerts about important events via email, Slack, Discord, or webhooks. CSV export for compliance audits.

Shopify has no undo, and a price that drops by a decimal point looks completely normal in a product list. Guard records your whole catalogue the moment you install it, watches for price and stock changes, and works out how much stock value each change affects. Ordinary trading stays quiet. A bulk update that empties your margin does not.

Key points
  • Track every change to products, orders, and inventory with field-level diffs
  • Alerts via email, Slack, Discord, or custom webhooks (Zapier, n8n, Teams)
  • 11 pre-built alert templates with smart 30-second batching
  • Drill into one product or order's full history with one click
  • Alerts arrive within minutes of a change, not the next morning
  • Every change is ranked by how much stock value it affects
  • One click in the alert restores the previous prices
  • One email per bulk update instead of one email per product

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
