Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureUnsold products are cash sitting on a shelf. Inventory Autopilot finds dead and slow-moving stock (60/90/120-day thresholds you control), applies tiered clearance discounts you approve in one click, and sells them through an automatic Clearance section that matches your theme. Prices restore when items recover. Works on large catalogs. A weekly digest shows the cash you've recovered.
Sold-out products push shoppers away, and they are easy to miss. Shelfback watches your inventory and keeps out-of-stock products from cluttering your collections, so shoppers see what they can buy. It never drafts, hides, or deletes products, so your product pages and URLs stay intact.
