Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureOrca uses AI to rapidly turns purchase orders into Shopify products & accurate inventory. Upload a PO as a PDF, spreadsheet, or snap a photo, and Orca reads it into line items, then creates draft products and variants in Shopify—adding barcodes, descriptions, & weights on request. When a shipment arrives, a guided receiving flow updates inventory & flags shortages and overages.
Inventory management built around reordering. Know what to reorder, how many and from whom, from your sales and each supplier's lead time, minimum and case size. See when each product will sell out and get a warning when an order won't arrive in time. Email PDF purchase orders, edit them after ordering, and receive in parts, accepting and rejecting each line. Shopify stock follows.
- Read purchase orders from PDFs, spreadsheets, or a phone photo of the paper.
- Match PO items to existing products so reorders don't create duplicates.
- Track on-order, received, and returned units, with vendor credits and refunds.
- Auto-create Shopify products and variants from each purchase order.
- Receive in multiple deliveries, accepting and rejecting counts line by line
- Ordered stock shows as incoming in Shopify, at the destination location
- Add lines by scanning a barcode, or with the Shopify product picker
- Edit a purchase order after it is ordered, without cancelling and redoing it
