Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureChoose one store you own as the catalogue source and another as the receiver. Both stores install StoreTwin; the source remains read-only. Before receiver writes, the audit names detected supported-field differences by product and field for review. Images copy only when a receiving product is created. Prices are set on creation and not synced afterwards.
Store Tools brings bulk editing and order picking into one workspace. Update stock, prices, costs and weights, then prepare orders with photos and quantities. Reuse listing templates, build sales and review inventory value. For card shops, Trading Cards adds a customer Buylist with cash and store-credit offers, Shopify receiving and automatic pricing for supported cards. All Store Tools are included.
