Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureYour customers email purchase orders as PDFs, spreadsheets and CSVs. You retype them. PO Engine reads the order, matches every line to your products, and creates a Shopify draft order priced from your own catalogue and B2B price lists. Anything it is unsure about it asks you once, then remembers how that customer words things forever. It writes a draft order and stops.
Wholesale buyers order by email: PDFs, spreadsheets, photos. POClerk reads each B2B purchase order, matches every line to your products and prepares the draft order; anything unsure waits beside the original for a two-click fix. Customers on standing orders get their usual order emailed weekly with last time's quantities, and their reply becomes a draft order. A revised PO updates its order.
- Reads purchase orders as PDF, Excel or CSV. No template for your buyers.
- Matches lines to your products, and asks you rather than guessing when unsure.
- Learns how each customer words things, so the same order never asks twice.
- Prices from your own catalogue and B2B price lists, never from the buyer's PDF.
- Forwarding inbox + drag-drop: PDF, Excel, CSV, scans, or plain email text
- Every line matched to your catalog — unsure lines held for review, never guessed
- Fix a line once — alias memory enters that customer's shorthand next time
- Pack rules ("2 cases" = 24), price-mismatch flags, quantity cross-checks
