Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureFlowStock keeps your inventory in sync with your suppliers. Every automation gets its own email address. Give it to your supplier, and each stock file they send is processed automatically: FlowStock reads SKUs and quantities from XML, CSV, or Excel feeds and updates inventory at the location you choose.
LinkStock syncs products and variants that share physical stock. Use Stock Groups for duplicate listings, singles and packs, with explicit Units per sale. Connect existing set variants to component recipes with Bundles. Availability is calculated independently at each selected location. Review stock counts before confirming changes, preserve leftover units, and follow updates in activity history.
- Give each supplier a unique email address that receives and syncs stock feeds
- Import XML, CSV, and Excel feeds, or fetch stock files from a Dropbox link
- Match feed SKUs to variants and update quantities at the location you choose
- Update prices, barcodes, tags, status, and metafields in the same sync
- Link products and variants that draw from the same physical stock.
- Keep shared quantities aligned independently at each selected location.
- Review quantity conflicts, pause groups, and follow inventory activity.
