For Shopify merchants
Watchdog monitors every variant in your catalog and surfaces the ones costing you money—dead stock, broken listings, and quiet decliners you’d never catch manually.

The problem
Variants sitting in your catalog unsold for months — maybe years. Tying up inventory dollars, cluttering your store. You just don't know which ones.
A buy button breaks. A variant gets misconfigured. The page looks fine to you, but customers can't purchase. Sales silently drop to zero.
You could export orders, pivot by variant, compare date ranges, cross-reference your catalog… or you could spend that afternoon growing your business.
What you get
See your entire catalog ranked by performance — worst sellers, best sellers, trending up, and never sold. Sparkline charts show each variant's trajectory at a glance.
Instantly surface variants that have never had a single order. Misconfigured, invisible to customers, or just dead weight. Either way, you need to know.
Sales data appears in your product list as metafields. Filter your entire catalog by worst-performing variant date right from the admin search bar.
An admin block on every product page shows a bar chart timeline for each variant — daily order volume so you can spot exactly when sales stopped.
Install the app and your full catalog and order history import automatically. No CSVs, no configuration. Watchdog monitors from day one.
How it works
Add Watchdog from the Shopify App Store. It automatically imports your full product catalog and order history. No configuration needed.
As orders close, Watchdog tracks which variants are selling and which aren't. Sales data is written directly to your Shopify metafields in real time.
Open your dashboard to see ranked variant performance, spot never-sold items, catch broken listings, and link directly to Shopify admin to fix problems.
Watchdog installs in under a minute and starts surfacing problems immediately. No spreadsheets. No manual audits. Just the answers.
