Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureTake complete control of your label layouts and how they reach the printer. A WYSIWYG editor gives the title, price, SKU, variant options, barcode and custom text each their own position, font size and weight, wrapped in its own box. Print counts default to stock at the location you select. Override any row, or switch to shelf tag mode for one label per variant.
Print barcode labels and price tags from your Shopify products, or label a received inventory transfer with the exact quantities received, as Stocky used to. Works with DYMO and Zebra label printers and Avery sheets: 27 formats built in (A4 and Letter), any custom size, start on any row and column of a used sheet. Place the barcode, price, compare-at price, SKU, title and your logo to the millimetre.
