Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureCatalogGuardHQ snapshots your catalogue every night and on demand: products, variants, prices, inventory, images by reference, metafields, collections. When an import, app or mistake goes wrong, choose a snapshot, the products and the fields, and see every value that would change before any write. Safe mode keeps what you changed since, and names it. Nothing is ever deleted.
Bulk editing shouldn't be a leap of faith. SafeBulk shows exactly what will change before anything happens: filter products, choose edits, and review a line-by-line diff of every product and variant. Before any change is applied, SafeBulk saves a complete snapshot of the fields it will touch, so you can restore the whole job with one click. Every change is verified after it lands, and failed rows are retried.
- Nightly and on-demand snapshots, encrypted; no customer or order data read
- Restore by product and by field, previewed first, verified after, undoable
- A Coverage table that states what a restore brings back and what it cannot
- Diff preview on every job: see exactly what changes before anything runs.
- Automatic snapshot before every job: a full before-state is always saved.
- One-click rollback restores any job to exactly how it was, verified.
- Post-job verification confirms every change landed, with automatic retries.
