Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureException Digest finds paid orders still unfulfilled after your SLA (24 hours by default, set in hours). It tags each one exception-digest and lists them on the Late orders page with Admin links and how far past the SLA each order is. The list is read in the app only. Only fully paid, fully unfulfilled orders from about the last 60 days are checked. Requires read and write access to orders.
Paid orders get stuck when a 3PL, shipping or order management app stops syncing, and nobody notices until the customer asks where the parcel is. Order Sync Watchdog watches every paid order and emails you when one stays unfulfilled past the window you choose: 6, 12, 24 or 48 hours. It listens to Shopify order updates and re-checks every 15 minutes, so a missed update never means a missed alert.
