Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureRun Black Friday and flash sales without editing prices by hand. Pick a collection, tag, vendor, product type, or a CSV of SKUs and prices. Set a percentage, amount, or fixed price, preview every variant, and adjust any price before scheduling. At the start FlashPrice records each variant's exact price and compare-at price, applies the sale, and restores it all when it ends.
PriceGuardHQ never writes a price below cost or below a floor you set, shows every change before it is written, and ends a sale by itself. Rules by collection, tag, vendor, type, SKUs or whole store: percent or amount off or on, a fixed price, cost plus margin, a sale from compare-at; .99 rounding. Guardrails stop a run that moves a price too far or changes too much.
- Preview every variant's sale price before scheduling, and change any of them
- Prices are recorded at start and restored exactly, compare-at prices included
- Hand edits during a sale are detected and left alone, never overwritten
- Target a collection, tag, vendor, or product type, or upload a CSV of prices
- Floors: never below cost, and never below a price you set
- Preview every price and compare-at change; every write is read back and verified
- A sale ends on schedule and keeps the edits you made during it, and says so
