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 does not restore your store content for you. If a product is deleted or a bulk edit goes wrong, the official answer is to rebuild it by hand. StoreArk keeps a version history of your products, collections, pages, blog posts, menus and theme settings, and lets you put any version back yourself. Every restore shows the exact fields that would change first. Pricing is flat.
- 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
- Restore yourself in seconds. No support ticket, no waiting for a weekday.
- See exactly which fields a restore changes before anything is written back.
- Download everything StoreArk holds for you, on every plan including free.
