Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureTake control of your inventory without the enterprise price. Most inventory apps are built for larger brands and priced accordingly. This app is designed for small Shopify businesses that need clear visibility and practical day-to-day control of their stock — so you can count accurately, move inventory between locations, receive what arrives, return what you need to, and decide what to order next.
Restocky helps merchants plan, order, receive, and count stock from one inventory workspace. It uses sales history and stock levels to suggest reorder quantities, then turns those suggestions into purchase orders. Merchants can track suppliers, receive incoming stock, move inventory between locations, run stocktakes, and review inventory, velocity, and profit reports.
- Count inventory — scan or type counts, review differences, update Shopify
