Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureWhen an order is refunded or cancelled, the restock step is sometimes missed, and your counts drift low while stock you have can't sell. CountHound watches every refund and cancellation, restocks what was missed automatically, and records each correction with its reason and the counts before and after. A nightly reconciliation checks every product for unexplained changes.
Low Stock Alerts & Notify Me watches every product in your store and emails you the moment stock drops to your threshold — one alert per dip, no repeats, re-armed when you restock. Set one store-wide threshold, or a different one for any product or variant. Shoppers who land on a sold-out page can leave their email, and the app lets them know the moment the item is back, bringing the sale home.
