Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureIf you sell into more than one market, changing a price usually means opening each product, in each market, one at a time. Parity replaces that with a single grid: every product down the side, every market across the top, edit anything, save once. Set prices in bulk, apply rules with rounding and see a preview before anything changes. Schedule sales with a real before-to-after preview and automatic revert.
PriceGuardHQ never writes a price below cost or below a floor you set, shows every change before it is written, and ends a sale by itself. Rules by collection, tag, vendor, type, SKUs or whole store: percent or amount off or on, a fixed price, cost plus margin, a sale from compare-at; .99 rounding. Guardrails stop a run that moves a price too far or changes too much.
- Edit every market for every product in one grid, not one by one
- Scheduled sales with a before-to-after preview and automatic revert
- Full audit log with the staff member, before and after values, and undo
- CSV import and export with a diff preview before anything saves
- Floors: never below cost, and never below a price you set
- Preview every price and compare-at change; every write is read back and verified
- A sale ends on schedule and keeps the edits you made during it, and says so
