Every change to your catalog, caught in the act.
Catalog Canary watches your Shopify products around the clock. Prices, inventory, descriptions, variants. When something changes, you know in seconds, with the before and after on record.
No code · Installs in 2 minutes · Free plan, no credit card required
Changes happen. Nobody tells you.
The overnight bulk edit
A bulk-editing app rewrites your SEO titles at 2 AM. Google notices before you do.
The quiet price fix
A staff member “corrects” prices on 12 products and tells nobody. There goes the margin.
The feed that overwrote it all
A sync empties 40 descriptions on a Friday. The first report comes from a customer.
Catalog Canary catches every change in seconds, shows the before and after, and puts bad edits back with one click.
Peace of mind for your product data.
Real-time monitoring
Every price, inventory, variant and content edit is captured within seconds, through Shopify webhooks, with no manual exports.
A full audit trail
Every change on the record: the field, the old value, the new value, and the source of the edit, with the editor's name whenever Shopify records it.
Email & Slack alerts
Get an email or Slack message the second a tracked field changes, so a costly edit never slips by unnoticed.
One-click revert
Spot a bad edit? Restore the previous value in a single click. No digging through spreadsheets or backups.
Exportable history
Filter changes by product, date, field or source, then export a clean CSV for reporting or your own records.
Private & secure
Read-only by default and encrypted at rest. Revert asks for write access only when you use it. We never touch customer data, and you can uninstall anytime.
Up and running in two minutes.

Questions, answered.
Does Shopify keep a history of product changes?
Not one you can see. Shopify logs some events internally but never shows field-level before and after values for products. Catalog Canary records every tracked change with the old value, the new value, the source, and the time it happened.
Will it slow down my store?
No. Catalog Canary adds no theme code and loads nothing on your storefront. Changes arrive through Shopify webhooks and are processed on our servers, so your store speed is untouched.
Which fields does it track?
Prices, compare-at prices, cost, inventory, SKUs, barcodes, titles, descriptions, tags, images, variants added or removed, SEO fields, sales channels, collections, and custom metafields. You choose exactly which fields matter to you.
Can I undo a bad change?
Yes. Most changes show a Restore button that puts the previous value back in one click. The app asks for write permission the first time you use it.
How is Catalog Canary different from other product history apps?
Three things. One-click revert is included on every plan, even Free, where some apps reserve it for higher tiers. Slack alerts are built in, so your team hears about changes where they already work. And deleted products keep their full record, so you can see exactly what a product looked like before it disappeared.
I manage stores for clients. Does this work for agencies?
Yes. Install Catalog Canary on each client store and point the alerts wherever you like, such as one Slack channel per client. You see every change without logging into each admin, and you can prove exactly what changed and when.
Do you access customer or order data?
Never. Catalog Canary requests product and collection data only. No customer, order, or payment information is ever read, and uninstalling removes access instantly.
Never lose track of a catalog change again.
Install Catalog Canary free from the App Store. It starts watching in under two minutes.
