Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureThe QR code IS the product — instead of black-and-white patterns. QRKY embeds your actual product photo inside the QR code, making it instantly recognizable and worth scanning. Change the URL without reprinting — QRKY uses short-code redirects so merchants can update the destination any time — fix a broken link, swap a seasonal campaign, redirect to a sale — without touching a single label.
Tagsmith gets every product labelled, even if it has no codes yet. Generate missing SKUs and in-store barcodes in one click, free, with no GS1 membership needed. You see every code before it's saved; existing codes are never changed. Then print: pick variants or load a Shopify purchase order, check the live preview, and print on thermal rolls or sheets. Free covers Code 128, EAN, UPC and QR labels, 100 a month.
