Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureGuarded Restock Alerts fixes the #1 back-in-stock complaint: silent failure. Shoppers sign up, stock returns, nothing gets sent. Every send is double-verified - at queue time and again at send time - and logged in a full audit trail: what sent, what didn't, and why. Automatic sending is the default, so restocks never sit waiting on you. Manual review is available as a safety valve for big launches.
Every sold-out product is lost revenue unless you capture demand. RestockGuard automatically collects customer emails on out-of-stock products and brings them back the moment stock returns. Notify shoppers only when their exact variant is available, improve conversion rates, and recover missed sales with no manual work.
