Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureCatalog Backup saves your products, variants, metafields, collections and product images every night, and saves each product change as it happens. Home shows what changed since yesterday. Open a product to compare versions side by side, tick the fields to bring back, and preview the restore before anything is written. After a bad import or bulk edit, restore a group of changes at once.
One bad bulk edit, app update, or AI-assisted change can wipe out hours of work. Unlimited version history on every plan, restore never gated. TimeVault backs up your products, collections, theme code, pages, blogs, and metafields every day, and on demand before risky changes. Before a restore, you see exactly what will change; nothing you created later gets deleted.
