Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMendvale scans your storefront with axe-core and asks your catalog directly, so it finds the missing alt text that DOM scanners on Shopify structurally cannot see. Then it fixes what it safely can. A contrast failure that traces to one of your theme's own colour settings gets a replacement value tested on a copy of your pages first, and discarded if it makes other text fail. You approve each one. Undo puts it back.
Velora drafts English alt text from your product images. Find missing descriptions, review suggestions and apply selected changes in batches of up to 10. Keep 200 changes with previous text, undo and CSV export. Browse your catalog with pagination. Check up to 8 storefront pages, including password-protected stores, and save the last 10 reports. Review every AI draft.
