Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featurePurser puts purchase orders, receiving and supplier invoices in your Shopify admin. Raise an order in your supplier's currency and download it as a PDF. When stock arrives, scan it in on one screen with quantity, cost, retail price and margin on each row, and your Shopify stock updates. Log deposits, the supplier's invoice and each payment, and see what you still owe.
Raise a purchase order against a supplier, send it, then receive the stock by scanning barcodes as it arrives. Partial deliveries are fine — the order stays open until the rest lands. Every receipt writes to inventory at the location you chose. Then print shelf labels straight off that order: barcode, name, and the price if you want it, on sheets or a roll printer.
