Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShelfHound checks the storefront paths customers and search crawlers rely on, not just whether a site responds. It monitors storefront uptime, robots.txt, sitemaps, representative product and cart paths, checkout entry, and country-specific Markets behavior. Findings include evidence and confirmation status so merchants can separate real failures from intentional catalog differences and temporary conditions.
Find what's quietly costing you sales and win it back. Scan your catalog for missing images, thin descriptions, untracked inventory, and out of stock variants. Then recover lost sales: add a "Notify me" button to product pages. When you restock, every waiting shopper is auto emailed from your own domain, styled to your theme. Set up in minutes, no code. Lightweight, privacy friendly.
