Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureIt syncs your products and sales, ranks what needs reordering by urgency, and turns the plan into supplier purchase orders you can edit, email, or download as a PDF. When boxes arrive, receive them fully or partially and stock is written back to Shopify automatically. Import your Stocky export in one click to restore suppliers, costs, and PO history. Works for any store that reorders from suppliers.
Smart Restock reads supplier invoices and purchase orders in PDF, CSV, Excel, and EML format, then matches each line to your products by SKU. Approve the staged changes and it bulk updates inventory quantities and unit costs across every location you stock. Because cost is captured from each delivery, your cost per item reflects what you last paid. Add suppliers manually or sync them from existing Shopify data.
