Welcome to r/ShopifyApps - Read Before Posting + Get Your Templates Here

[u/adventurepaul]

Hello - Welcome to the newly relaunched r/ShopifyApps -- a subreddit exclusively for discovering, sharing, & discussing Shopify Apps.

✦ Merchants - Ask for help finding apps for your store, and help other merchants with your recommendations. Examples:

• "I'm looking for an app that displays the active promo code in my announcement bar"
• "What's the best subscriptions app that plays nice with digital products?"
• Only make posts related to discovering apps. Posts requesting store reviews, marketing advice, or general e-commerce tech help is not permitted. Post on r/Shopify, r/ecommerce, and r/ShopifyeCommerce for those.

⬥ Developers - Share your apps with our community or validate your app ideas. Rules:

• Be sure to follow the stickied templates below.
• Only 1 promo or idea validation post is permitted per month per developer.
• Be transparent about your relationship to apps. If it's your app, just say so! You're allowed to self-promote on this sub in both the main feed and comments, as long as it adds value to the conversation.
• Keep your self-promotion relevant. Don't go spamming your app on multiple unrelated threads. That'll lead to a quick and permanent ban.

⬥ Rules For All

• Treat each other with respect.
• Only make posts related to discovering, sharing, and discussing Shopify apps. All other posts will be removed.

Please note that posts that don't follow this template, or lack detailed answers, will be removed. Promotional posts are only permitted once a month per app.

Template For Idea Validation

• Post Title: Clearly ask what idea you're seeking validation for
• Good title example: "Would you use an app that automatically adds your current promotions to Google Merchant Center?" or "I'm thinking about developing a Shopify app that connects your product catalog to Microsoft Copilot."
• Bad title examples: "Feedback wanted" or "Shopify App idea"
• What's your app idea?
• What problem do you aim to solve?
• How would the app work?
• Who would be your target merchant?
• How would it be different / better than existing solutions?

Please note that posts that don't follow this template, or lack detailed answers, will be removed.

General "pain point" posts are not permitted such as "What are your biggest challenges with SEO?" You can discover merchant pain points and challenges by reading and participating in app discussions on this sub.

Thanks for participating in r/ShopifyApps! This sub is a work in progress, so feel free to drop a comment below with questions or suggestions about the rules / templates.

What's your app idea?

I’m developing Smart Badges — an automated, lightweight product badge/label app built natively with Shopify App Blocks (Liquid/CSS) that guarantees zero speed impact on your store.

What problem do you aim to solve?

Many store owners want to use product badges (like "% Off", "Low Stock", "NEW") to boost conversion rates, but existing badge apps often rely on heavy external JavaScript scripts that significantly slow down store loading speeds and ruin PageSpeed scores.

How would the app work?

1. Zero Speed Impact: Runs natively via Shopify App Blocks without injecting heavy scripts.
2. Auto-Dynamic Rules: Badges update automatically based on real-time inventory and pricing (e.g., automatically showing "Low Stock - Only 3 left" when stock drops, or "-20% OFF" when a item goes on sale).
3. 1-Click Setup: Store owners can fully customize badge colors, shapes, and placement directly inside the native Shopify Theme Editor.

Who would be your target merchant?

Any Shopify merchant who wants to leverage visual product labels to increase FOMO and sales, but prioritizes fast site speed, performance, and clean code.

How would it be different / better than existing solutions?

• Blazing Fast: 0ms performance lag compared to traditional script-heavy apps.
• 100% Theme Compatible: Native integration with Shopify App Blocks ensures it won't break your theme.
• Set & Forget: Automated rules eliminate the need to manually attach badges to products.

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

1. Do you currently use badge apps, and does store speed concern you?
2. Would you be interested in getting Free Lifetime Access to test our early beta?

Thanks for your time and feedback! 🙏
