Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureGet ready to view your Refund orders directly from our app rather than searching through your Shopify order list for the refunds. Once you have installed the app, our app will start pulling in the refunds for orders. The refund report allows you to view the list of all the refunds and also filter refunds based on several criteria available on that page. Easy exports in Excel & CSV formats.
VATLens checks your VAT data before you file. A free health scan flags missing orders, VAT that doesn't reconcile, refunds in the wrong period, failed webhooks and timezone gaps. Paid plans turn each period into a VAT Close Pack: readiness checks, VAT by EU country and by rate, and an order-level audit trail for your accountant. It also tracks the EU-wide €10,000 OSS threshold.

How Shoplist compares apps

Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
