Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureThis app helps store teams stay organized by providing a lightweight, visual way to manage tasks. Inspired by dotted paper notebooks, it offers a familiar and clutter-free interface inside Shopify. Use it to jot down notes, assign quick tasks, or plan daily priorities. No setup required — just open and start writing. Ideal for teams that want simple task tracking without the complexity.
Staff Hub keeps your rota, time clock and training in one place. Build the week from shift templates, catch double bookings and time-off clashes, then publish so staff see shifts on their phone. Staff clock in and out on Shopify POS with their own PIN, or on their phone with an optional on-site GPS check. Approve time cards and export hours as a CSV for Gusto, QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex or Rippling.
