Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureRunning regional stores, wholesale and retail, or staging and live? Link each store to your main store using the main store's key, approve the request, then choose what it copies. Before the first sync, a preview lists what will be created, overwritten or left alone. After that, changes copy on their own, with referenced entries, definitions and files. Every item is logged with its result and the reason.
Merchants who duplicate a store, or run separate source and destination stores, often rebuild metafield and metaobject definitions by hand - a process prone to handle and type mismatches. MetaMaintain connects your source store to your destination store, analyzes the differences between them, and keeps both aligned as your data model evolves.
- Copy metaobjects with their definitions, referenced entries and files
- Copy metafields on products, variants, collections, pages, blogs and posts
- Copy all pages or only the ones you pick, plus whole blogs and their posts
- Preview each first sync: what gets created, overwritten or stays the same
- Keep metafield and metaobject definitions and values aligned across stores
- Sync entry values to keep your data current in the destination store
- Spot missing or conflicting definitions before any changes are made

FAQ
Cascade and MetaMaintain: common questions
- Is Cascade or MetaMaintain cheaper?
- Both list a free plan. Paid plans start at $19/month for Cascade and $12/month for MetaMaintain. Shoplist compares base prices only between monthly plans in the same currency; usage charges and annual plans vary, so check each plan’s limits.

- Cascade lists 14 the others don’t mention, such as Booleans, Colors, Dates, Dimensions. MetaMaintain lists 2 the others don’t mention, such as Customers, Orders. A feature missing from a listing may still be supported; this compares what each App Store listing says.
