The Opportunity

A lightweight inventory workflow app that shows product price directly inside inventory lists. It helps retail staff restock, tag, and reconcile items faster without jumping between screens.

"Merchants want to see product price while working in inventory views, especially for restocking and tagging, but Shopify does not surface price there in a convenient way."

Detailed Analysis

Proposed Solution

Add a sortable inventory table extension or companion app screen that displays SKU, on-hand quantity, vendor, and price side by side, with optional export and filtering.

Target Audience

Retail merchants, inventory managers, and staff handling replenishment or shelf tagging

Competitive Landscape

Inventory management apps, POS companion tools, and spreadsheet exports

Implementation Notes

Use Admin API inventory and product variant data, create a fast inventory view with price columns and optional inline search/filtering, support barcode/SKU-based workflows, and provide print/export options for tagging; keep scope focused on read-only visibility to reduce complexity and review risk.
