Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShopify treats each variant as independent inventory. When variants share stock, you risk overselling and spend hours adjusting quantities manually. PoolSync creates inventory pools that sync to all linked variants automatically. Set consumption multipliers for different sizes (1oz = 1 unit, 4oz = 4 units). Orders deduct from the pool and update every variant. Refunds restore automatically.
StockPool helps merchants sell products that share the same parts, materials, blanks, or ingredients. Create reusable components, connect them to Shopify products, and build recipes that calculate sellable inventory from the limiting component. StockPool keeps managed product inventory aligned with component stock and gives teams a clear sync log for support.
