Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featurePriceGuardHQ 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.
Install PricePilot and you immediately see every discount running in your store, including the ones you set by hand months ago and forgot. The ones with no end date are flagged in red, and you give them one in a click or in bulk. Schedule new sales with a real compare-at price, a start and an end in your store's timezone, and an automatic return to the original price.
- 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
- See every sale running in your store, including ones set outside the app
- Sales with no end date are flagged, and fixed in one click or in bulk
- Schedule sales with a real compare-at and a return to the original price
- Original prices are saved before any change and restored when the sale ends
