Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureA warranty claim, a supplier recall or a lot about to expire: you need to know which unit or batch went to which order. The app records serial numbers such as IMEI or device IDs, and lot or batch numbers with expiry dates. Assign them from the order page, by phone, or at the Shopify POS till, where a serial can even be recorded as you sell, with no goods-in step.
Shopify has no place to record which batch of a product is on your shelf. TraceKit adds it. Log a lot or batch against any product: lot code, quantity, supplier, reference document, manufactured, received and expiry dates. The dashboard and a Monday email show lots expiring within 30 days and past their date. When a supplier issues a recall, trace which orders received that lot and export the buyer list as CSV.
