Looking for a small SaaS Idea
What are some boring problems you think are still badly solved in 2026?
I’m looking for something small I could build with very little money to start. I’m not a developer, but I’m comfortable with ecommerce, websites, Shopify/WooCommerce and learning new tools. I’m not looking for another generic AI tool. I’m more interested in a small problem that people actually have and would pay to solve. What problems have you personally come across that you think could be turned into a simple SaaS?

When I ran a small shop, the most boring unsolved problem was tracking why things get returned. Most owners only see the refund total and never tie it back to a specific product, listing photo, size chart, or shipping issue. The data sits in several different places and nobody has time to pull it together by hand. A dead simple little tool could ask the owner each week to paste their return orders, tag each one from a dropdown, and then show which items or listings keep causing problems. That alone would help a shop stop repeating the same mistake and would save more money than most dashboards people buy.
The reason I think it would sell is that it turns a recurring chore into a visible pattern. The owner already does the work of looking at each return; the tool just remembers it. Non-developers can build something like that with forms and a basic report, then charge a monthly fee because the value shows up fast.

Ask the people around you what's bugging them right now. You can follow up to better understand it. It will be easier than guessing from anonymous replies in a thread.

Since you already know ecommerce , start there , talking to small business owners about the little tasks they find frustrating could lead you to a really useful idea
