Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureChange product handles with a clear view of what happens to existing links. Handler combines bulk editing, redirect review, and a shared history of changes made in Handler. See who changed what and when, compare before-and-after values, and undo eligible updates when plans change. Audit handles, preview edits, and resolve conflicts before saving.
Bulk editing shouldn't be a leap of faith. SafeBulk shows exactly what will change before anything happens: filter products, choose edits, and review a line-by-line diff of every product and variant. Before any change is applied, SafeBulk saves a complete snapshot of the fields it will touch, so you can restore the whole job with one click. Every change is verified after it lands, and failed rows are retried.
- Audit product handles and filter URLs that need attention
- Bulk-edit handles with title matching, find and replace, prefixes, or suffixes
- Prevent duplicate handles and live-URL conflicts before saving
- Create safe 301 redirects and review or flatten redirect chains
- Diff preview on every job: see exactly what changes before anything runs.
- Automatic snapshot before every job: a full before-state is always saved.
- One-click rollback restores any job to exactly how it was, verified.
- Post-job verification confirms every change landed, with automatic retries.
