Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureInventoryLoop turns sales history and current stock into explainable reorder suggestions. Out-of-stock days are excluded from sales velocity, and every recommendation shows its reasoning. Create purchase orders per supplier as PDFs or send them by email. Record partial receipts; landed costs are allocated across items and stock is written back to Shopify.
MakeOrder works with the purchase orders you already create in Shopify, so there is no second PO system. See every purchase order with ordered, received and outstanding quantities. Send a PO to the supplier as a branded PDF, CSV and Excel file with a share link and a prefilled email. Export every PO line. Keep last, average and weighted-average cost per item.

- Bulk export of every purchase order line to CSV or Excel
