How it sells itself

Wholesale buyers upload certificates on a page that matches your storefront theme — no account needed. Review everything in one queue: smart checks flag bad certificate numbers and wrong states before you approve. One click sets Shopify's native tax exemption, tags the customer, and starts the renewal clock.

ClearShip 读取 Shopify 商品标题、描述、图片、SKU 和库存信息,找出缺失的 HS 编码、原产国和关务资料。系统生成候选编码、判断依据和风险提示,商家确认后可将编码和原产国写回 Shopify。

Key points
  • Theme-matched upload page for buyers — no login or account needed
  • One-click approval sets Shopify tax-exempt, tags, and customer metafields
  • Smart checks flag bad certificate numbers and wrong states before approval
  • Renewal tracking: review due dates, an overdue tab, and in-app alerts
  • 批量检查商品缺少的海关编码、原产国和关务资料
  • 生成美国 HTS 和欧盟 CN 候选编码,并展示判断依据
  • 人工确认后可将编码和原产国安全写回 Shopify

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 Oct 13, 2026. 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.
