Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSimpleSync is very useful if you're selling different products that are physically the same. SimpleSync keeps the inventory of these items in sync. SimpleSync also helps you sell more when you're selling a unisex product. You're going to sell more items if you focus your product pages on men and women separately. Make two products in the Shopify admin, give them the same SKU and you're done!
Duplicate product listings with the same SKU are common for unisex products, men's and women's pages. Shopify still deducts stock from only the purchased variant. Spot solves that same-SKU syncing problem without turning every location into one pool.
- SimpleSync keeps the inventory in sync fast for items that share an SKU.
- Sell an item through multiple product pages.
- Inventory tracking for simple bundles where one item has tracked inventory.
- A sale on one listing instantly updates every listing with the same SKU
- Locations stay separate — retail store stock never mixes with online
- Keep separate men's and women's listings for SEO while sharing one SKU
- Aligns mismatched listings to the lowest quantity to help avoid overselling
