Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featurePO Desk helps B2B merchants process purchase orders from PDFs, spreadsheets, CSV files, and images. Merchants upload a PO, review extracted customer and line item details, confirm SKU matches, and create a Shopify Draft Order only after approval. The workflow keeps draft order creation focused on review accuracy and product matching.
Retyping wholesale purchase orders is slow and error-prone. Pomelo reads the PO your buyer sends, whether a PDF, scan, Excel file, CSV or pasted email, and matches every line to your products by SKU, barcode or description. You check the lines beside the original and create a draft order with the buyer's PO number, prices, payment terms, shipping charge, addresses and customer or B2B company attached.
