Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMost monitoring apps rely only on Shopify webhooks, which Shopify does not guarantee will arrive, so outages go unreported. ruli is different: it runs a synthetic probe against your live storefront on a schedule, loading the homepage, adding a product to cart, and confirming checkout is reachable.
Stock Watch keeps your store stocked and your sales flowing. It monitors your product inventory around the clock and instantly emails you the moment any item drops below a threshold you set. No more manual stock checks, no more surprise sell-outs, no more lost sales. Simply set your low-stock level and email, and let Stock Watch do the watching.
