Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSelling supplements, food, cosmetics or CBD? Every batch has a shelf life, and Shopify has nowhere to put it. Log a lot code, expiry date, quantity, supplier and COA link on any variant. The dashboard splits stock into expired, expiring soon and safe. FEFO tells pickers which batch to ship first and holds back expired ones. Email each location its own pull list. Write off expired units with confirmation and undo.
Shopify tracks what you sell, not what you lose. Record shrinkage, theft, damage, short deliveries and returns, or run a guided cycle count and post the variance as costed losses. See your shrink rate against stock and the retail benchmark. A count-due list says which SKUs to count next. A vendor scorecard shows what suppliers owe you, with a claim CSV.
- Lot codes, expiry dates, supplier and COA link on any variant, or by CSV
