Starting point
When a product is recalled, merchants often find out late. Alerts appear in different official databases, each with its own format, and are hard to compare by hand with a catalog of hundreds of products.
Solution
Recall Monitor fetches alerts from EU Safety Gate, the CPSC (US), the UK and Health Canada and compares them with every variant in the store: by barcode, SKU and model number, and brand. Matches appear in the app with a link to the official notice.
Features
What Recall Monitor does for merchants.
Four official sources
EU Safety Gate, CPSC (US), Office for Product Safety and Standards (UK) and Health Canada.
Matching per variant
By barcode, SKU, model number and brand.
Daily and automatic
On the paid plans the check runs every day without any action.
Matches with source
Every alert links to the official publication.
Targeted checks
A tag marks individual products for checking.
Export
Export matches as a CSV file.
Under the hood
- Built on our own foundation for Shopify apps: billing, privacy webhooks, tests and operations were in place from day one.
- Alerts are cached centrally, so the daily check stays fast and the official sources are not queried more than necessary.
