Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureDataDock imports, exports and migrates sixteen kinds of store data from Excel, CSV or TSV files. An import runs in two phases. The first reads your file and builds a row-by-row plan without writing anything, so you see what would be created, updated and deleted in your own column names. Only after you approve it does anything change, and every applied job can be rolled back in one click.
PayDrop Importer brings product, customer, and order data from a CSV or Excel file into PayDrop Digital, License, or Subscriptions. Pick the destination and data type, then upload. Records are validated before they reach the destination, and processing continues even if you close the window. Import products first, then customers, then orders, so every reference lines up.
