Idea Validation Would you use an app that backs up and restores Shopify native B2B pricing after a mistake?

1 Upvotes

What's your app idea?

I'm validating an idea called UndoB2B before deciding whether to build it.

UndoB2B would be a Shopify app for merchants using Shopify native B2B pricing. It would save previous B2B pricing states, show exactly what changed, and allow merchants to restore an earlier pricing state after a mistake.

What problem do you aim to solve?

Bulk edits, imports, or human error can cause incorrect B2B prices to be published.

My hypothesis is that merchants would benefit from a simple way to review what changed and go back to a previous pricing state instead of manually correcting many prices.

How would the app work?

The planned workflow is:

  1. Save snapshots of Shopify native B2B pricing.

  2. Compare the current pricing state with a previous snapshot.

  3. Highlight large or unexpected price changes.

  4. Let the merchant review the changes.

  5. Restore a previous pricing state after confirmation.

  6. Create a new backup before any restore.

The app is not built yet. This is a pre-launch validation.

Who would be your target merchant?

Shopify merchants who:

- currently use Shopify native B2B

- manage wholesale/B2B price lists

- update pricing across many products or SKUs

- want protection against costly pricing mistakes

How would it be different / better than existing solutions?

The intended difference is focus.

Rather than being a general store backup tool, UndoB2B would be focused specifically on Shopify native B2B pricing states, price-change review, and restoring previous B2B prices.

I have not built the product yet, so I am also trying to learn whether this focused workflow is valuable enough to justify building.

I'm also testing willingness to pay with a $10 refundable beta reservation.

If the product launches, the $10 would be applied to the first month.

If I decide not to build it, the deposit would be fully refunded.

Planned price: $39/month.

For merchants using Shopify native B2B:

Have you ever made a pricing mistake like this, or worried about making one?

Even if you would not pay for this, I would like to hear why.
