How it sells itself

CatalogSentry scans product and Online Store publication state to surface catalog issues without changing data during scans. Review findings inside Shopify Admin, inspect a proposed containment action before any write, and explicitly confirm an Online Store unpublish when needed.

An edit goes wrong: a description, a variant, a metafield, an import, and Shopify has no undo. Restory records every product and collection change automatically from the minute it's installed, with your whole catalog backed up as a baseline. See old and new values side by side and put anything back in one click, revert in bulk, or bring back deleted products and collections.

Key points
  • Scan catalog and Online Store publication issues without changing catalog data
  • Review R-12 findings and proposed actions before any catalog write
  • Unpublish affected products from the checked Online Store publication only
  • Verify publication state after confirmed containment actions
  • Automatic change tracking for every product field, variant, and image
  • Searchable timeline with product, collection, field, and date filters
  • One-click revert and point-in-time product restore
  • Deleted-product recovery with variants and images

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Nov 12, 2026 for CatalogSentry, Oct 13, 2026 for Restory. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
