Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSet a floor for each product from its cost and your margin. Floorline checks your Shopify discounts against it, including codes, automatic discounts and stacks, and shows which products each one could take below floor. It also watches price edits and imports: a price wiped to zero or mistyped triggers an alert, and you can restore it in one click.
Margin Watchdog checks every order the moment it arrives. It calculates the real margin after stacked discounts, shipping and payment fees, then tags the order LOSS or LOW_MARGIN when it falls below the floor you set. You get an instant email and Slack alert, and one daily digest at 08:00 in your store's time zone.
