Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShopify keeps each product's COGS as one number in your store's currency. When you buy in yuan, euros or dong, that number goes stale as exchange rates move, and your profit reports drift with it. CostBuffer stores each supplier's invoice amount in their currency, converts it with official exchange rates and updates Shopify's COGS field.
Crowvex tracks real profit for Printful and Printify stores on Shopify. It pulls actual supplier costs per order, calculates true margin after fees and shipping, and shows you which products and which supplier are eating your profit. Built specifically for POD sellers, no flat COGS estimates, no percentage of revenue, no setup that takes a week.
