Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureInventory numbers go wrong quietly. A sync fails, an import loads the wrong sheet, a fulfilment double-counts, and the first sign is that a product stopped selling. Driftwatch downloads your full catalog from Shopify every night and compares it against what it recorded yesterday. It reports what changed, what went negative, and what moved in bulk, then stays silent until something else drifts.
When you refund an order, Shopify can put the items straight back into sellable inventory — even when they're damaged, lost in transit, or kept by the customer. UnRestock watches every refund and instantly reverses unwanted restocks, so your inventory counts stay honest. No workflows to build, no checkboxes for staff to remember.
