Pro Plan
Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMost merchants struggle to identify slow-moving inventory before it becomes dead stock. Clear Stock automates this entire process. It tracks sales velocity for every product and calculates how many days of inventory remain based on current sales rates. You set rules like "discount dead products by 30 percent" and the app handles the rest automatically.
Inventory Surplus helps you turn slow-moving inventory into revenue—faster and more efficiently. Instead of relying on spreadsheets or reactive discounting, the app gives you a clear system to identify surplus products, decide what to do with them, and take action in one place.
