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.
Tidyshelf scans your product catalog every week and finds issues that quietly cost you sales: apparel with no size options, products with no images or alt text, thin descriptions, pricing errors, duplicate SKUs, and products left out of every collection. It shows exactly what is wrong, then fixes image alt text and thin descriptions with AI.
