How it sells itself

Admin Activity Log lets you monitor and track important changes in your Shopify store in real time. It records product, order, inventory, and customer events with detailed logs, including actions, timestamps, and old vs new values. Easily review updates like price changes, order status, or stock adjustments through a clean dashboard with filters and search.

WhatMovedIt keeps a dated record of what changes in your store: theme edits to the exact line and publishes, product and price updates, collection, page and discount activity, app installs and marketing events. Each sits on a timeline next to your daily sales, with one per product and collection too. When a day looks off, see what changed around it.
