Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBuilt for food, cosmetics and supplement stores. Record a lot number and expiry date when stock arrives, and LotGuard allocates every new order from the lot that expires soonest, so older stock leaves first and less is thrown away. Alerts warn you days before a lot expires, at the timing you choose.
Selling electronics, tools or equipment means customers ask about warranties, returns and recalls by serial number. Serialwise records the serial of every unit: scan or type it when you pack the order, or fill it from serials received into stock. Each serial is saved on the Shopify order, ready for packing slips. Search any serial to see its order, sale date and warranty end.
