Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureScanFlow lets staff scan orders to record events like Packed, Delivered, or Return Received, capture notes and photos, and trigger Shopify Flow automations in real time. Every scan is logged in Shopify with the user, time, and event details, creating a clear, auditable trail of who did what, and when. No mobile app needs to be installed ~ scan from any smartphone with an internet connection!
Serialix lives inside the order page. Staff type or scan a serial next to each line item while packing. One search then finds the order and customer any serial shipped with, so warranty checks and repairs take seconds. Import serials from a supplier CSV or generate ranges, auto-assign on fulfillment, and get alerts when an order ships without one.
