Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBorderdesk checks every product for an HS code, country of origin and a clear customs description, and suggests HS codes for the ones that are missing. Codes go into Shopify's own customs fields, so your label tools use them too.
Inkslip prints invoices, packing slips and quotes from your admin: from an order, from orders you select, from a draft order, or every invoice for a range of dates. Each invoice is numbered the first time it's issued and keeps that number on every reprint, and the number is saved on the order. Invoices show each tax rate, your legal details, and the buyer's VAT number with a reverse-charge note when it applies.
