How it sells itself

PackLock 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.

PerishShield checks the temperature forecast along each order's route — origin on the ship date, destination on the arrival date — and compares it to the limits you set for your perishable products. At-risk orders are flagged with clear badges and tags, and can be placed on a fulfillment hold for you to review and release. Open orders are re-checked on a schedule as the forecast changes.

Key points
  • Hold eligible physical shipping orders after Shopify routing
  • Check every line, quantity, variant, SKU, and order note
  • Release the native Hold after every checklist item is ticked
  • Assess every order against origin and destination weather forecasts
  • Flag risk with badges and order tags: Safe, Caution, Warning, Critical
  • Auto-hold at-risk orders, then review or release them in one click
  • Assign products to temperature categories you define

Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
