Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBest Before Discounts helps merchants manage expiry-date and short-term promotions without creating discount codes. Upload a CSV with SKUs, dates and discount values, preview the changes, simulate the import, and apply price updates to Shopify variants. The app stores the original price so each promotion can be restored automatically when the offer ends or manually from the Discounts screen.
