Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featurePackLock places a native fulfilment Hold after Shopify routes an eligible physical shipping order. Packers use the embedded app or a signed Station Link to confirm every line and quantity. Completing the Pack Check releases the Hold and can add a completion tag. Order edits trigger a fresh check, while merchants can override or release Holds in Shopify admin.
Parcello handles orders that don't fit one box, one carrier, or one warehouse. Set rules for multi-box products, shared boxes, quantity limits, and box sizes. Use those rules to prepare shipments and calculate live parcel and freight rates at checkout. Ship with your own carrier accounts or through Shippo.
