Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureStockGlow watches your inventory and emails you before products sell out. Set a low stock threshold, choose who gets the alert, and pick the timing: instant, daily, weekly, or monthly digest. Send alerts straight to your suppliers so restocking starts before the stockout, not after. One quiet email at the right time replaces spreadsheet checks and sold-out surprises.

Set low-stock thresholds for products, variants, or collections, then get instant alerts through email or Slack.
