Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureWrong stock levels mean overselling, missed reorders and surprises at year end. Countwise runs stock counts inside Shopify: pick a location and the products to count, then scan barcodes with a scanner or the phone camera in the Shopify app, or type SKUs. Several people can count at once.
Plumb turns the whole-store stocktake into a daily task. It picks what is worth counting — ranked by 90 days of sales, so busy products come round often and the slow tail rarely — and hands staff a short list on POS or in the admin. Counting happens while you trade: a sale landing mid-count is refused rather than overwritten, and nothing reaches your inventory until you approve it. One click puts it back.
- Scan barcodes with a USB or Bluetooth scanner or the phone camera
- Count all products or one vendor, product type, collection or SKU list
- Several people can count the same location at the same time
- Review over, short and value at cost before anything changes
- Today's count list picked by sales velocity, so you count what matters
