Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShopify keeps no version history for your products. When an app, import, bulk edit or AI tool rewrites your store, the activity log says something changed, never what it said. PriorCopy backs up your products, collections, pages, blog posts, menus, URL redirects and metaobjects every night and shows each change word by word.
Shopify has no undo button for deleted products. Product Recycle Bin creates an automatic backup of every product the moment it is deleted. Merchants can restore any product within 30 days, including its title, description, price, variants, images, inventory levels, and collection memberships. No setup is required — the app starts protecting products immediately after install.
- Word-by-word diff of your product copy, not just “something changed”
- Restore in place, so Shopify IDs survive and nothing downstream breaks
- Every re-created record comes with a remap table naming what to repoint
- One-click restore for any product deleted in the last 30 days
- Full data recovery — title, description, variants, images, and price
- Inventory levels and collection memberships restored too
- 7-day free trial with no credit card required at install
