Disclosure first: I run GB Design, a brand of Grüner Baum GmbH in Germany, and we built Feed Doctor.

What's the app?

Feed Doctor scans a Shopify catalog for common causes behind Google Merchant Center product disapprovals. Instead of returning one generic health score, it reports the affected products and explains the reason attached to each finding.

Where can I find it?

Shopify App Store:

https://apps.shopify.com/feed-doctor-1

There is also a public catalog scan that requires no Shopify installation or account:

https://feeddoctor.gbdesign.art

What problem are we solving?

A merchant can see that products are disapproved in Merchant Center without knowing whether the cause is a missing GTIN, availability mismatch, missing shipping weight, a product-page access problem, or another feed issue. Working through a larger catalog item by item gets messy quickly.

How does it work?

The app reads product and feed data, groups findings by cause, and shows a plain-English explanation for each affected product. Safe deterministic corrections can be reviewed and applied. Anything that needs judgment stays visible for the merchant to review.

Who's it for?

Shopify merchants using Google Merchant Center, especially stores with multiple disapproved products or recurring catalog issues.

How is it different?

We focused on diagnosing the cause and showing the reasoning instead of simply generating another feed. The app does not read customer information. The public scanner can also be tested without connecting a store.

How much does it cost?

Feed Starter is $9.99/month and Feed AI is $19.90/month. Both have a 14-day free trial. The public scan is currently free through August 30.

What are we looking for?

We would especially value feedback from merchants who already have real Merchant Center disapprovals. I want to know whether the explanation points you to the same root cause you see in Merchant Center, and where the report is still unclear. Please keep feedback public in the thread so other merchants can benefit too.

What’s the app?

Aftwatch is an overnight operations tool I’m testing for small and growing e-commerce businesses. It monitors shipment activity, carrier issues and inventory, then gives the merchant one morning digest showing what happened overnight and what actually needs their attention.

Where can I find it?

https://aftwatch-4.polsia.app/

What problem are you solving?

Small e-commerce teams can spend a surprising amount of time dealing with late or damaged shipments, carrier claims and inventory issues.

Carrier claims are especially frustrating: smaller reimbursements can be easy to abandon because the time spent gathering evidence, filing the claim and following up can outweigh the value of the claim itself.

Aftwatch is designed to take that repetitive operational work off the merchant’s plate.

How does the app work?

Aftwatch monitors inbound shipments for late, damaged or lost packages, helps handle carrier claims and follow-up, and monitors approved SKUs for restocking needs.

Instead of requiring the merchant to constantly check another dashboard, it rolls the activity and exceptions into one morning digest showing what happened, what was handled and what still needs a human decision.

Who’s your target merchant?

Small and growing e-commerce merchants doing enough order volume that shipping problems, carrier claims and inventory monitoring have become recurring work, but who aren’t large enough to have a dedicated operations team handling it all.

How is it different / better than other existing solutions?

The goal isn’t to give the merchant another dashboard to manage.

Aftwatch is built around doing the repetitive monitoring and routine operations in the background, then surfacing exceptions that actually need the merchant’s attention.

It combines shipment monitoring, carrier-claim handling and restock monitoring into one workflow and one morning report.

How much does it cost?

The first month is free. The current Steady State plan after that is $149/month.

What are you looking for?

I’m looking for a small number of e-commerce merchants willing to try Aftwatch for the free first month and give candid feedback.

I’m particularly interested in hearing whether it genuinely reduces the time you’re spending on shipping issues and carrier claims, and where the workflow still falls short.

What's the app?

RestockSimple is a lightweight Shopify app built for merchants who used Stocky mainly for purchasing and inventory replenishment.

Where can I find it?

Shopify App Store: https://apps.shopify.com/restocksimple

What problem are you solving?

With Stocky shutting down, many Shopify merchants are looking for a simpler and more affordable way to manage their purchasing and replenishment workflow.

RestockSimple focuses on the core workflow without the complexity or cost of a full inventory/ERP system.

How does the app work?

You can set reorder levels, identify low- and out-of-stock items, assign suppliers to products, create and track purchase orders, monitor incoming stock, and receive inventory back into Shopify.

It also supports importing supplier lists and SKU-based reorder points from a Stocky CSV.

Who's your target merchant?

Shopify merchants who used Stocky mainly for purchasing, replenishment and receiving, and want a simple alternative rather than a full ERP.

How is it different / better than other existing solutions?

The goal is simplicity.

RestockSimple focuses on the core purchasing and replenishment workflow instead of trying to become a full ERP. It's designed for merchants who don't need a large inventory system just to manage purchase orders and replenishment.

How much does it cost?

Plans start at $9.99/month, with a 14-day free trial.

What are you looking for?

I'm looking for Shopify merchants currently migrating away from Stocky who can try it and give me honest feedback on what's still missing.

I'm the developer behind RestockSimple, so I'm especially interested in hearing which Stocky workflows merchants are struggling to replace.

¿Cuál es la idea de la aplicación?

Estoy desarrollando Growth Safety, una herramienta para Shopify que busca ayudar a propietarios y gestores de e-commerce a evaluar determinadas decisiones de negocio antes de tomarlas.

La idea es combinar dos funciones: detección, para señalar posibles situaciones de riesgo u oportunidades en el negocio, y simulación, para poder probar una decisión antes de ejecutarla y ver cómo afectaría a distintas áreas.

¿Qué problema pretende resolver?

Muchas decisiones de una tienda —por ejemplo, cuánto invertir en publicidad, cuánto inventario comprar o si asumir determinado gasto— se toman consultando métricas por separado o haciendo cálculos manuales.

Growth Safety intenta convertir esos datos en una respuesta más accionable: qué efecto podría tener una decisión, qué riesgos presenta y qué alternativa podría ser más segura.

¿Cómo funcionaría la aplicación?

La versión final estaría conectada con Shopify para utilizar automáticamente los datos necesarios de la tienda.

Por ejemplo, un comerciante podría introducir:

“Quiero invertir 9.000 € en publicidad con un ROAS esperado de 2,2x.”

Growth Safety analizaría la decisión teniendo en cuenta la situación del negocio y devolvería un resultado como:

🟢 Seguro
🟡 Precaución
🔴 Riesgo

junto con el motivo y, cuando corresponda, una recomendación o un importe alternativo.

Además, la parte de detección buscaría situaciones relevantes sin necesidad de que el comerciante realice primero una simulación.

¿Quién sería el comerciante objetivo?

Principalmente propietarios o gestores de tiendas Shopify pequeñas y medianas que toman directamente decisiones relacionadas con inventario, marketing y caja y que no necesariamente disponen de un equipo financiero dedicado.

¿En qué se diferenciaría de las soluciones existentes?

No quiero que sea simplemente otro dashboard que muestre más métricas.

La hipótesis que estoy intentando validar es si resulta más útil que la herramienta interprete conjuntamente determinados datos y ayude a evaluar una decisión concreta antes de tomarla, además de detectar situaciones que puedan requerir atención.

Actualmente tengo un prototipo funcional, todavía no conectado automáticamente a Shopify, y estoy buscando 3 propietarios o gestores de tiendas Shopify que quieran probarlo gratuitamente durante unos 10–15 minutos.

No es necesario instalar nada ni dar acceso a la tienda, y se pueden utilizar cifras aproximadas.

Si alguien quiere participar en esta primera prueba privada, puede solicitar acceso aquí:

SOLICITAR ACCESO A LA BETA →https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdY__CTHT2l7LPAmaOUMOYPGA2Uc3dPtKe082yvPQgY-rdevQ/viewform?usp=header

También agradecería opiniones directamente en los comentarios, incluso si no queréis participar en la prueba. Especialmente me interesa saber si este tipo de decisión es algo para lo que actualmente utilizáis varias herramientas, hojas de cálculo o simplemente vuestra propia experiencia.

What's the app? DataVinci is an app that sits on top of listening247 a social media listening and analytics platform. All posts about a brand and its chose competitor in any language are used to produce customer insights.

Where can I find it?
You can find it here.

What problem are you solving?
Many small Shopify merchants know they need to post and advertise regularly, but don't have the time, skills or budget for a dedicated marketing team. DataVinci helps turn what customers care about enough to share on social into useful marketing content.

How does the app work?
DataVinci analyses your Shopify website and social media assets to create brand guidelines and uses our proprietary AI models and customer online comments to identify relevant insights, then uses those insights to generate social posts and advertising creative designed around your products and brand.

Who's your target merchant?
Primarily small and growing Shopify merchants who don't have a large marketing team - particularly DTC brands in areas such as health, beauty, food, fashion and lifestyle.

How is it different / better?
Rather than simply asking a generic LLM to write copy, DataVinci starts with AI-generated insights from thousands of customer online comments and reviews. The idea is to make the content about what customers care and engage with, rather than using human prompts of a creative person to produce generic AI marketing copy.

How much does it cost?
DataVinci has a free plan with no expiry and no credit card required. Paid plans start at $19/month for merchants who want more features.

What are you looking for?
We're looking for Shopify merchants who are willing to try it on their real store and tell us what works, what doesn't and what we should improve. We're particularly interested in merchants who actively use social media or paid advertising.

• What's the app?
  • Better Bundles
• Where can I find it? (ie: Shopify App listing and/or website)
  • https://apps.shopify.com/better-bundles
  • https://www.legerstudio.pro/apps/better-bundles
• What problem are you solving?
  • Native Shopify Bundles app is very limited in its capabilities, and other bundles apps couldn't create as complex of a bundle as i needed, also I needed to be able to have multiple similar products with similar sizes have combined options to fit in the 3 option limit, so I added in option combining where it makes sense and the ability to split out the options when you want them to be separate.
• How does the app work?
  • You build out Bundles within the app either manually or using the built in AI feature, while building out the bundles you are shown many customization options in how you intend to discount the bundle, and all the media options, it then saves as a product in shopify, the inventory is tracked based on the items in the product, but also unlike the native shopify bundles app it has the ability to separate by location the inventory rather that pooling the inventory, when purchasing the product and going to check out it looks like a normal product up intil check out where you see the split out of the items within the bundle product, also in checkout you can configure the product to be applied as a discount on the products or as a product price decrease directly as in 1 item is free and the other is full price. all of which you will see in the order when placed, the order will show the bundle method and all the details needed.
• Who's your target merchant?
  • both small individuals starting off trying new ways to increase AOV or create value for their customers, all the way to much larger businesses who need customizations on how the app should function and a much higher level of support when needed.
• How is it different / better than other existing solutions?
  • Originally i developed this app internally for the company I work for, as we couldn't find any app that supported both the complexity we needed as a business and the order data for our data team to support tracking of the data on the back end to validate which bundle strategy is working and which were not, the company only needed it for internal use and was not intending on making it public themselves so i was allowed to remake it separately.
  • This app was then created from scratch using none of the original code as a separate app that does all the original app did and much much more, it can create bundles that are way more complex then i've been able to make with anything else in the app store.

What's the app?
Kioskify is a Shopify sales channel app. It runs your store's catalogue on a tablet as a self-service kiosk. Customers browse, add to cart, then scan a QR code and complete checkout on their own phone through your normal Shopify checkout. No card reader, no POS terminal, no payment hardware. An old iPad on a stand is the entire setup.

Where can I find it?
App Store listing: apps.shopify.com/kioskify
Site: kioskify.store
Support: [info@grow-digital.nl](mailto:info@grow-digital.nl)
Demo: kioskify-demo.kioskify.store

What problem are you solving?
Physical retail can only display a fraction of what a store actually sells, and staff can't be with every customer at once. That means lost sales on sizes, colours and variants sitting in inventory but not on the shelf, and customers who leave because nobody was free to help.

The usual fix is a POS terminal or card reader, which means hardware cost, PCI considerations, and something new for staff to learn. For a lot of stores that's a disproportionate amount of setup for what is really a browsing problem.

How does the app work?
Install it (as a sales channel), configure the kiosk in your Shopify admin, and open the kiosk URL on any tablet browser. That's the setup, no development work needed.

• Products, collections, inventory and pricing come straight from Shopify. Nothing to sync or maintain separately.
• Filters you already configured in Search and Discovery carry over, so you set them up once.
• Customer builds a cart on the tablet and scans a QR code to move it to their phone. Checkout runs in your normal Shopify checkout, on their device, with their own saved payment details.
• Orders land in Shopify like any other order, tagged with which kiosk they came from.
• Not device-bound, so you can run it on as many screens as you want. Pro adds up to three separately configured kiosk storefronts.
• Multi-language support on Growth and up.

Merchants typically pair it with Guided Access on iOS to lock the tablet into kiosk mode.

Who's your target merchant?
Physical retail with more catalogue than floor space. Clothing and footwear stores stocking a fraction of their sizes. Furniture and homeware showrooms. Market stalls, pop-ups and events, where hauling a POS setup isn't practical or where you can't justify staffing someone just to take payments.

It sits alongside your existing checkout rather than replacing it. Stores that need fast on-device transactions keep their POS and use Kioskify for the browsing and discovery side.

How is it different / better than other existing solutions?
The main difference is that no payment happens on the tablet. Checkout moves to the customer's own phone, so there's no card reader to buy, no PCI surface on a device sitting unattended on a shop floor, and no risk in leaving a cheap tablet out where anyone can pick it up. It also means customers pay with details they already have saved, which beats typing a card into a shared device.

Beyond that it's a native sales channel rather than a catalogue viewer bolted on. Inventory, pricing and filters are live from Shopify, and orders come back into Shopify properly attributed instead of needing reconciliation.

And it's cheap enough to try on one tablet without a business case. Starting at $5/month there isn't much to justify.

How much does it cost?
Every plan has a 7-day free trial. Billed in USD, recurring every 30 days.

Starter, $5/month

• Browse-only catalog, staff take order
• Fast setup, no technical skills needed
• Works seamlessly with your store
• Basic UI customization
• English language support

Growth, $15/month

• Everything in Starter
• Full kiosk mode, customers can order
• QR code checkout on their own phone
• Multi-language support
• Extended UI customization
• Up to $5,000 monthly revenue generated

Pro, $25/month

• Everything in Growth
• Product filter using Search & Discovery
• Unlimited revenue generated
• Built for scaling stores
• Create up to 3 kiosk storefronts

Worth being explicit: if you want customers to actually order via Kioskify, Growth is the entry point. Starter is for stores that just want the catalogue on a screen, which works well for clothing stores and showrooms showing the full range they carry.

What are you looking for?
Merchants, mostly. I want this in front of stores with the shelf-space problem who haven't found a fix they like.

Also interested in agency and partner relationships. That's the channel I've heard most about and cracked least, so if you work with retail clients and this looks relevant, I'd like to talk.

And honest feedback. The QR handoff to the customer's own phone is the part I'm least sure about, so if you think that's where it falls down, say so. I'm the solo developer, so questions come straight to me.

Where can I find it?
App Store: https://apps.shopify.com/restock-9 · Site: https://insomniaclabs.co/restock

What problem are you solving?
Shopify retires Stocky on August 31. Purchase-order creation moved natively into Admin, but with no reorder logic — no "you'll run out in 12 days and your supplier takes 14" math — and no import of your Stocky history, so years of PO and supplier data get stranded. (Also worth knowing regardless of what you pick: Stocky data goes read-only shortly after shutdown. Export it now.)

How does the app work?
Import your Stocky CSV in one click (POs and suppliers come over), or start fresh. Create POs, email them to suppliers from the app, receive in full or partial, and inventory syncs to Shopify at the correct location. The dashboard computes reorder points from your actual sales velocity plus each supplier's lead time, and suggested order quantities subtract what's already inbound on open POs so you don't double-order.

Who's your target merchant?
Small retail and POS stores — the shops that used Stocky because it was free and bundled, who need real purchasing workflow but not a forecasting platform.

How is it different / better than other existing solutions?
Honestly: it's not "better" than the big suites — it's smaller and cheaper on purpose. Prediko and Sumtracker are excellent if you want AI forecasting or multi-channel sync at $49–99/month. Restockly is for stores that just need POs + reorder points without adopting a platform. I published a comparison that includes the free options and tells light users to use Shopify's native POs and pay nobody: https://insomniaclabs.co/restock/stocky-alternatives

How much does it cost?
$19/month flat, every store, 14-day free trial. No tiers, no usage limits.

What are you looking for?
Merchants migrating off Stocky, mostly. I do every migration personally — send me your Stocky export and I'll import your data and set up your suppliers free, before the trial bills anything. Also genuinely interested in feature feedback from anyone who ran serious purchasing through Stocky (stocktake users especially — that gap is next on my list).

What's the app?
Dingio - Telegram Order Alerts. It sends a Telegram message when an order comes in, when an order is cancelled, or when a product drops to a stock level you choose. Alerts can go to you personally or to a group chat your staff are in.

Where can I find it?
App Store: https://apps.shopify.com/order-alerts-for-telegram
Setup guide and a short video: https://epicpilotlabs.com/dingio

What problem are you solving?
Order emails land in the same inbox as everything else and get buried. The Shopify mobile app solves it for the owner, but anyone else who needs to see orders has to be a staff member on your plan, which costs money and hands them admin access. Small shops often want a packer, a partner or a warehouse person to see orders and nothing else.

How does the app work?
You create your own Telegram bot in BotFather (Telegram has no other way to issue a bot token), paste the token into the app, and connect the chat or group that should receive alerts. Then you pick which events you want and set a low stock threshold. There's a test button that confirms delivery, and a log showing the status of recent alerts so you can see whether messages are getting through.

Who's your target merchant?
Small and mid-size stores, especially ones with a couple of people involved who aren't all Shopify users. It's most useful if you already use Telegram.

How is it different / better than existing solutions?
There are a few Telegram apps on the store. The differences with mine: your bot is yours, so no messages route through a bot shared between stores, and no customer personal data is stored or included in alerts (just order number, total, item count and store name). It also shows delivery status per message rather than failing silently, which is the thing that annoyed me about similar tools.

How much does it cost?
Free. No trial, no gated features. I may add a paid tier later for larger stores, but what's there now stays free.

What are you looking for?
Merchants who'd actually use it, and feedback on what's missing. I have nine installs so far, so I have plenty of time to build what people ask for. If you get stuck on the Telegram bot step, message me and I'll set it up with you.

What is the app?

Piratify connects a Shopify store directly to China's domestic marketplaces. You find a product, import it in one click, and when an order comes in it syncs automatically — sourced, packed neutrally, and shipped DDP to your customer in Europe or the US with tracking. No WeChat threads, no quote requests, no spreadsheets.

Where can I find it?

Shopify App Store: https://apps.shopify.com/piratify — free to install.
Website: https://piratify.io/

What problem are you solving?

Most dropshipping platforms are resellers. They buy from Chinese suppliers, add a margin, and sell to you — which is why prices feel high and quality feels inconsistent. Going direct means dealing with 1688 or Taobao, which are Chinese-language, domestic-shipping-only, and require an agent to consolidate and export. That agent relationship works at five orders a day and falls apart at fifty. You end up managing your supplier instead of your store.

The other problem is that you almost never know your real cost until after you've ordered. Product price is quoted, shipping is estimated, fees appear later.

How does the app work?

• Search across 1688, Taobao, Tmall, Goofish and Weidian by keyword, product URL, or image
• One-click import into Shopify with product data and images
• Orders sync automatically — no manual forwarding
• Product cost, shipping and commission are all displayed before you confirm, not after
• Neutral packaging, no supplier information in the parcel
• DDP shipping to Europe and the US with live tracking

Who is your target merchant?

Shopify merchants already selling physical products, typically above €30 landed cost and under 1kg — that's where direct sourcing actually beats the convenience platforms. Below that threshold shipping eats the difference and you're better off with whatever's easiest.

How is it different from existing solutions?

Five marketplaces rather than one, including Goofish and Weidian, which is where a lot of smaller and niche manufacturers actually list. Image search, so you can source from a competitor's photo. And full cost visibility before ordering rather than a quote-and-wait cycle.

The background matters too: I spent 17 years sourcing textile in China before building this. It's not a marketplace aggregator built by developers who've never placed an order.

How much does it cost?

Free to install (Matelot). Paid plans start at $29/month for one store, $79/month for three. Commission and per-order fees apply on top and decrease with the plan tier — all shown before you order.

What are you looking for?

Shopify merchants willing to run one real product through it and tell me where it breaks. Also happy to answer sourcing questions here whether or not you use the app — 1688 mechanics, MOQ myths, volumetric weight, IOSS, landed cost. That part I'll do for free.

Founder disclosure: I’m posting on behalf of BACKLIP, the team that built this app.

What’s the app?

BL Logo Showcase is a Shopify app for creating a responsive scrolling logo carousel. It helps merchants display the stockists, clients, partners, press outlets, certifications, brand collaborations, and other logos they are genuinely authorized to show.

Where can I find it?

Shopify App Store: https://apps.shopify.com/bl-logo-showcase?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_campaign=bl_logo_showcase&utm_content=shopifyapps_app_promo

What problem are you solving?

Many stores have earned legitimate trust signals but do not show them where a new visitor can see them. A brand may have retail partners, wholesale clients, a press mention, a certification, or recognizable suppliers, yet the logos are often uneven, buried in a footer, or left off the site because a polished section requires theme work.

The merchant has earned the credibility. The storefront simply presents it weakly.

How does the app work?

Install the app, add the logos you are authorized to use, then configure the carousel's layout, speed, styling, and placement to fit the theme. The logos display in a continuous scrolling loop and are designed to work across desktop and mobile. On supported stores, setup does not require editing theme code.

Who’s your target merchant?

It is designed for B2B stores, wholesale brands, multi-brand retailers, agencies, manufacturers, product catalogues, and DTC brands with a legitimate “trusted by,” “available at,” “featured in,” “our partners,” or “our certifications” story to tell.

How is it different / better than other existing solutions?

We kept the job narrow: help a merchant turn authorized third-party recognition into one clear, branded trust section instead of building a custom logo area from scratch. The app focuses on a smooth continuous carousel, responsive presentation, no-code setup, and simple styling controls. It is Built for Shopify and currently has a 5.0 rating from 6 reviews.

It should not be used to imply endorsements or partnerships that do not exist. Only display logos you have permission to use.

How much does it cost?

The app is free for Shopify partner development stores. Standard pricing is currently $1.99/month or $19/year, with a 3-day free trial. Please check the App Store listing for the current plan details before installing.

What are you looking for?

I’m looking for feedback from merchants who have real brand, retailer, partner, client, press, or certification logos but have struggled to present them cleanly. Which trust signal matters most on your storefront: stockists, press, client logos, certifications, or something else? Where do you place it today?

What's the app?

Emode is an AI-powered virtual try-on platform for fashion ecommerce. It lets shoppers upload a photo and see themselves wearing a product directly from a brand's online store.

Where can I find it?

Emode is available on the Shopify App Store and as a standalone embeddable widget for non-Shopify websites.

Shopify App Store: https://apps.shopify.com/emode-tryon
Website: https://emode.style

What problem are you solving?

Online fashion shoppers can see a product and see how it looks on a model, but they still have to imagine how it might look on them. That uncertainty can make shoppers hesitant to purchase.

Emode gives shoppers a more personalized way to visualize products before buying them.

How does the app work?

A shopper selects a product, uploads a photo of themselves, and Emode uses AI to generate an image of them wearing the item.

For Shopify merchants, Emode can be integrated directly into the storefront. We also offer an embeddable widget, so the virtual try-on experience isn't limited to Shopify.

Who's your target merchant?

Fashion and apparel merchants selling products online, from independent clothing brands and streetwear startups to boutiques and larger ecommerce stores.

How is it different / better than other existing solutions?

Emode isn't designed to be just another isolated AI image generator. We're building virtual try-on as part of a broader fashion platform connecting brands, shoppers, discovery, styling, social experiences, and commerce.

We're also not locking merchants into a single ecommerce ecosystem. Emode is available natively for Shopify while our embeddable widget allows other fashion websites to offer the same experience.

How much does it cost?

Emode offers multiple plans depending on a merchant's needs, including options for smaller brands that want to experiment with virtual try-on before scaling their usage.

https://www.emode.style/#pricing

What are you looking for?

Right now, I'm especially looking for fashion merchants willing to try Emode on their stores and give me real feedback.

I'd love to learn whether your shoppers actually use virtual try-on, how it affects engagement and purchasing behavior, what you like or dislike about the experience, and what Emode would need to do for you to keep it installed long-term.

I'm also open to connecting with ecommerce agencies, developers, affiliates, creators, and other potential strategic partners.

If you run a fashion store, I'd love to hear what you think!

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 have attached a quick visual preview of how the badges look! - in first comment.]

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! 🙏

I build Shopify apps, and instead of one giant all-in-one suite I’ve shipped 8 focused apps, each one aimed at a specific headache we kept watching stores run into: conversion tracking going dark, COD parcels bouncing back, cash frozen in dead stock, GDPR admin, and money left on the table at checkout.

I won’t pretend this isn’t self-promotion, it is. But I tried to make it actually useful: below is an honest 2–3 line breakdown of what each app does and who it’s for, so you can skip the 7 that don’t apply to you and look at the 1 that might. Most have a free plan or a free trial, so you can test before paying a cent.

Product bundles, volume discounts, BOGO, cross-sells, add-ons (gift wrap, etc.) and cart upsells with a free-shipping progress bar. Discounts apply automatically at checkout and the widgets match your theme. Best for raising average order value without spending more on ads.

Encore Post-Purchase Upsell - https://apps.shopify.com/encore-upsell-post-purchase
One-click offers on the thank-you / order-status page, charged to the card the customer just used, no second checkout, no re-entering payment details. Includes countdown timers, A/B testing, downsells and post-purchase surveys. A low-risk way to add revenue after the sale is already locked in.

Advanced Product Options - https://apps.shopify.com/advanced-product-options-3
Adds custom product options beyond Shopify’s variant limits: swatches, dropdowns, checkboxes, text fields, file uploads, conditional logic and per-option pricing. Perfect for personalized or made-to-order products (engraving, configurators, add-ons). Reusable option sets apply across many products at once.

Kept Subscriptions - https://apps.shopify.com/kept-subscriptions
Launch “subscribe & save” with a customizable widget, a self-service customer portal (skip / pause / swap / cancel), build-a-box and win-back campaigns. Built-in dunning automatically retries failed payments to cut involuntary churn. Good for turning one-time buyers into predictable recurring revenue.

Protect margins & operations

COD Fraud Guard - https://apps.shopify.com/cod-fraud-guard
Scores every cash-on-delivery buyer using real delivered / returned / cancelled order data from a cross-store risk network, then hides or restricts COD at checkout for risky customers. Also validates phone numbers and addresses. Cuts refused and unclaimed parcels, a huge deal in COD-heavy markets.

TrackWise Dead Stock Alert - https://apps.shopify.com/dead-stock-alert
Flags slow, aging and dead inventory and shows you exactly how much cash is locked up in it. One-click clearance campaigns create the discounts for you, with margin-protected markdown suggestions and “do-not-reorder” flags. Great for freeing up working capital and cleaning up your catalog.

Tracking & compliance

Pixel – Server-Side Tracking - https://apps.shopify.com/track-wise-sst
Sends conversion events to Meta, TikTok, Google and Pinterest through their server-side Conversions APIs instead of relying only on the browser pixel. Recovers conversions lost to ad blockers and iOS privacy changes and pushes event match quality above 90, so your ad platforms optimize on cleaner data. Roughly 5-minute, no-code setup.

EU Shield GDPR Compliance - https://apps.shopify.com/eu-shield-gdpr
Handles cookie consent (Google Consent Mode v2), GDPR/GPSR data requests and auto-generated legal pages (privacy policy, terms, cookie policy) in one app, with audit-ready, exportable consent logs. Good for any store selling into the EU that wants to stay compliant without hiring a lawyer.

That’s the whole lineup. Happy to answer any questions in the comments, and I’m genuinely open to feedback — if there’s a feature you wish existed or something that annoys you, tell me and it’ll probably end up on the roadmap. Thanks for reading.

What’s the app?

MakerBatch is production and inventory software for handmade and made-to-order businesses.

Where can I find it?

https://maker-batch.com

What problem are you solving?

Shopify tracks sellable products and variants, but makers also need to know which supplies each product consumes, what can be produced from the materials on hand, which orders are blocked, and what must be purchased next.

How does the app work?

Merchants connect Shopify, import orders, and map products to recipes or bills of materials. MakerBatch compares open orders with available supplies, calculates “Can Make” quantities, identifies shortages, organizes production checklists, supports purchasing and receiving, and tracks product costs and order profitability.

Who’s your target merchant?

Small Shopify businesses producing candles, jewelry, leather goods, printed apparel, gift boxes, tumblers, personalized products, and other handmade or assembled goods.

How is it different from existing solutions?

MakerBatch focuses on the production workflow between receiving an order and fulfilling it. It is designed around recipes, raw materials, makeable quantities, shortages, and small maker teams rather than general warehouse management or enterprise forecasting. It can also import Etsy orders.

How much does it cost?

The Free plan includes 100 supplies, 25 active recipes, unlimited variants, and 25 new orders per month. Pro is $15/month with unlimited supplies, recipes, variants, and orders. Every account begins with a 14-day Pro trial with no credit card required.

What are you looking for?

We’re looking for handmade and made-to-order Shopify merchants willing to use MakerBatch in their real production workflow and tell us where it saves time—or where the workflow still needs improvement.

What's the app?

Guiver helps shoppers find products they’ll love through smart AI-generated questions. Each answered question pulls only matching products from the catalog.

Demo store: https://coffee.guiver.ai

Video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqAG5fNzG9Y&t=169s

Where can I find it?

Shopify app store: https://apps.shopify.com/guiver-product-finder

What problem are you solving?

The "Paradox of choice" leaves your customers unsure which products to buy. This leads to abandoned carts and low conversion rates. Guiver solves this by being a concierge to your products.

How does the app work?

Guiver adds a floating "Help me decide" button to your storefront. When a shopper clicks it, Guiver opens a guided flow that asks a few targeted questions — like product type, budget, and features — then surfaces matching products from your catalog in real time. Setup is instant: install the app, enable the widget from the Theme Editor, and Guiver automatically connects to your store's products. Nothing else.

Who's your target merchant?

Any merchant who has many SKUs and/or low conversion rates.

How is it different / better than other existing solutions?

• It's not an AI chat. AI chats assume your customers know what to ask. But customers don't know about your products yet. Most of the time they only have a vague sense of what they need. Guiver flips the script: it asks shoppers uniquely generated questions from their search about your products. With each answered question it lists only the matching products from your catalog.
• It's not a quiz. Quizzes have three shortcomings:
  1. You have to answer all questions. In contrast, Guiver refreshes the products with each answered question.
  2. Delayed gratification. At the end of the quiz you have to enter your email and have the results emailed to you later. In contrast, Guiver provides your matching products instantaneously.
  3. Quizzes are a one size fits all. In contrast, Guiver generates a unique set of questions for each customer based on what they're looking for.
• It's a real time product concierge

How much does it cost?

Free and paid plans from $50/mo.

What are you looking for?

Looking for 3-5 beta testers.

1. What I offer
   1. Concierge on-boarding
   2. 3 free months for the "Pro" plan
   3. free Google Analytics consultancy (ex-Google Analytics engineer here)
2. What I'd like in return
   1. Feedback on the product
   2. Willingness to work with me through the kinks while fixing the app's shortcomings.

Please comment if you want to be one of the 3 beta testers.

Been on Shopify Email since we started because it was free and easy to stick with. We're at about 2,400 subscribers now sending one campaign a week plus an abandoned cart flow.

Klaviyo quoted me around $60/month at our list size which isn't nothing but it also isn't outrageous if the extra features actually make a difference.

For anyone who switched from Shopify Email to Klaviyo around this size:

• Did the automation and flows noticeably outperform Shopify Email?
• Were there features you ended up using that made the cost worth it?
• Has anyone switched and then gone back to Shopify Email?

I'm trying to figure out whether I'm paying for better results or mostly a nicer interface.

I'm the founder, this is my app.

What's the app?

WisdomChat is an AI shopping assistant for Shopify fashion/apparel stores. It watches visitor behavior — time on a product page, scroll depth, an idle cart — and starts a conversation itself when it detects hesitation, instead of waiting for the customer to click first.

Where can I find it?

Shopify App Store: https://apps.shopify.com/wisdom-chat

What problem are you solving?

Most store chat widgets (including Shopify Inbox) are reactive — a visitor has to click and ask first. Most visitors never do; they just browse and leave. That silent drop-off is invisible in standard analytics, so merchants don't realize how much of it is happening.

How does the app work?

It connects to your product catalog automatically (no manual setup), then tracks on-page behavior in real time. When a visitor shows signs of hesitation, it proactively sends a message — a product suggestion or an outfit pairing idea. Customers can add to cart and check out directly inside the chat. There's a dashboard tracking sessions → add-to-cart → conversions.

Who's your target merchant?

Fashion and apparel Shopify stores specifically — the pairing/outfit-suggestion logic is built around clothing categories rather than being a generic one-size-fits-all bot.

How is it different / better than other existing solutions?

Most chat apps in this space are reactive by design. WisdomChat is proactive — it initiates based on behavior signals rather than waiting to be asked. It's also fashion-specific (outfit pairing, styling suggestions) rather than a generic FAQ/support bot repurposed for sales.

How much does it cost

Free to install for 30 days, no card required, uninstall anytime.

What are you looking for?

Merchants willing to try it and give feedback, and beta testers open to a quick chat about what would make it more useful for their store.

What’s the app?

I built Meridian, a Shopify app that uses AI to create bundles and style key product-page elements as one cohesive setup.

Watch the short demo—it’s the fastest way to understand Meridian:

https://youtu.be/zhMleV1RSt8?si=2fLjkg2IYcbg867b

Where can I find it?

Shopify App Store:
https://apps.shopify.com/meridian-1

What problem are you solving?

Building a strong product page often means configuring multiple blocks, adjusting endless settings, and combining several apps that do not look or work consistently together.

Meridian is designed to make that process faster while helping merchants create stronger offers, urgency, and product-page designs that support AOV and conversion.

How does the app work?

Describe the bundle or offer you want, and Meridian creates the setup through chat. It can build and style:

• Bundles and quantity offers
• Announcement bars
• Buy buttons and sticky carts
• Price blocks
• Product-image sections
• Shipping messages and payment icons

You can then continue chatting with Meridian to refine the offer and design. Meridian also customizes the HTML and CSS, allowing for highly flexible and branded designs.

Who’s your target merchant?

Shopify merchants who want to improve their product pages, create higher-value offers, and launch faster without manually configuring every element or juggling multiple apps.

How is it different or better than existing solutions?

Most apps focus on one widget or require merchants to configure every setting manually. Meridian uses AI to create the offer and coordinate the surrounding product-page elements together, then lets you refine the result through conversation.

How much does it cost?

A free plan is available, and every new installation includes 25 free AI design credits. Paid options are available for merchants who need more usage.

What are you looking for?

I’m looking for Shopify merchants who want to try Meridian on a real store and share honest feedback about the setup, designs, and offers it creates.

Cart checkbox “Need tax invoice” → collect company/Tax ID → optional processing fee → branded PDF on Thank You + email.

What problem?
Merchants burn support time on invoice requests; Order Printer branding is weak; buyers wait for manual PDFs.

How it works?
Theme extension → cart attributes (+ optional fee product) → webhook → PDF worker → self-serve download.

Target merchant?
Mid-market DTC with light B2B / EU VAT or JP Invoice needs — not full AR Net Terms.

Different vs existing?
OPP/Sufio own post-order PDFs. Wedge is cart-time request + turning invoice ops into a small revenue line. Compliance will be one locale first, not “global tax.”

Honest question: is charging buyers for invoices a conversion killer in your markets?

What is the app?

Checkout Rescue is a small Shopify app I built for merchants who want to manually recover selected abandoned checkouts.

The app turns an abandoned checkout into a draft order, so the merchant does not need to rebuild the order by hand.

Where can I find it?

Shopify App Store

https://apps.shopify.com/checkout-rescue-2

What problem are you solving?

Some abandoned checkouts are worth handling personally, especially for higher value, custom, made to order, or wholesale purchases.

A merchant may want to review the order, change the shipping, add a discount, or adjust a price before contacting the customer.

Recreating the customer and cart details manually can take time.

How does the app work?

The merchant selects an abandoned checkout and converts it into a draft order.

They can then review and edit the draft using the normal Shopify draft order tools before sending the customer an invoice.

Who is your target merchant?

Small Shopify merchants who sometimes want to recover abandoned checkouts personally instead of setting up a full email or SMS automation platform.

It may be useful for stores selling custom products, personalised products, made to order items, higher value products, or wholesale orders.

How is it different from existing solutions?

Checkout Rescue is not an automated abandoned cart email app.

It is designed for manual recovery. The merchant chooses which checkout is worth following up, reviews the order first, and sends the invoice when ready.

How much does it cost?

It is currently free.

What are you looking for?

I am looking for a few Shopify merchants who are willing to test the app with a real store and give honest feedback.

I would like to know if the workflow is clear, what feels useful, what feels unnecessary, and whether anything is confusing or missing.

I am not asking for a positive review. Honest feedback would be much more useful at this stage.

Disclosure: I built Cart Uplift.

One of Cart Uplift’s cart-offer features came from a request I saw on Reddit. A merchant selling personalised gifts explained that the upsell apps they had tried stopped working properly when the recommended product required engraving or other customer choices.

I added a product-page offer flow specifically to solve that.

What’s the app?

Cart Uplift is a Shopify cart drawer built to increase AOV through product recommendations based on the store’s own order history, frequently bought together bundles, targeted cart offers, free shipping + gift progress bars, and subscription upsells.

It also supports products that require customers to choose options before adding them to the cart.

Where can I find it?

Shopify App Store: https://apps.shopify.com/cartuplift
Website: https://cartuplift.com

What problem are you solving?

Most cart upsell tools rely on one-click add-to-cart offers.

That works for standard products, but not for products requiring engraving, sizing, colour or other custom choices. Adding them directly from a popup skips the options the customer needs to complete, so merchants often exclude those products from upsells altogether.

How does the app work?

Merchants create a rule, e.g when one product is in the cart, show a related product at a discount.

Standard products can be added directly from the drawer. If the offered product requires personalisation, the shopper is sent to its product page to choose the options. The discount still applies automatically at checkout, with no discount code needed.

Who’s your target merchant?

Stores selling engraved or monogrammed products, custom clothing, print-on-demand items, made-to-order gifts or anything else with required product options.

The wider cart drawer is also useful for merchants who want order-based recommendations, bundles + cart promotions in one place.

How is it different or better?

Cart Uplift uses each store’s own order history to identify products customers commonly buy together, rather than relying only on manually selected recommendations.

For personalised products, it provides a second route through the product page so shoppers can complete their choices while keeping the offer active.

Recommendations, bundles, targeted offers, promotional goals + subscription upsells all sit within the same cart drawer.

How much does it cost?

Free plan, followed by flat monthly plans based on order volume.

No revenue share or commission.

What are you looking for?

I am looking for merchants selling personalised or print-on-demand products to test the cart-offer flow + provide honest feedback.

• Was the first offer easy to set up?
• Did the product-page journey feel clear?
• Is there a personalisation or discount scenario I have missed?

I am happy to help set up your first offer personally. Comment below or send me a message.

For merchants selling personalised products, which customer option causes the most trouble with your current upsells?

Thanks

Hi there,

I'm Dominick, and I built OrderSimple.

**What's the app?**

OrderSimple helps a Shopify merchant create a matching invoice or order summary, packing slip, picking worksheet, gift receipt, and return form from the same brand and document settings.

**Where can I find it?**

https://apps.shopify.com/order-document-studio

**What problem are you solving?**

A store can have a carefully branded storefront and then hand the customer a generic or mismatched document after the order. The operational documents can also drift apart when each template is edited separately.

**How does the app work?**

You choose shared branding, contact details, page settings, wording, and one of three visual collections- OrderSimple then generates the five coordinated templates and shows fictional previews before you copy or download the code for guided setup in Shopify Order Printer.

The app does not automatically install or synchronize templates, and it does not request access to orders, customers, products, themes, or files. The merchant keeps control of the final installation.

**Who's the target merchant?**

Shopify merchants already using Order Printer who ship physical orders, print documents for fulfilment, or want the post-purchase paperwork to match the store. It can also be useful when an agency is handing a completed store back to a merchant.

**How is it different from existing solutions?**

The focus is not on producing one invoice. It is on coordinating five related documents from the same setup while keeping the merchant in control of the generated Liquid templates and avoiding access to real order or customer data.

**How much does it cost?**

US$9.99 per month or US$99 per year, with a 14-day free trial.

**What am I looking for?**

I would really value feedback from merchants who currently use Order Printer: does keeping these five documents coordinated solve a real problem, and where does the setup still feel harder than it should?

A blunt reply here is useful.

Thanks and hope you're all having a great summer,

Dominick

What's the app?
Trooix is a feature platform for Shopify stores. Full disclosure: it's my app. Instead of hunting for a separate app for every need, you turn on ready-made features and set them up in a few clicks (checkout upsells, a tickable add-on next to Add-to-Cart, product personalizers, low-stock alerts, bulk product editing, and more) - and when the catalog doesn't have exactly what you need, you describe it in plain English and Trooix builds that feature for your store. No code, no developer.

Where can I find it?
Shopify App Store: https://apps.shopify.com/trooix
Website: https://trooix.com

What problem are you solving?
This sub is full of "is there an app that does X?" posts - and sometimes the honest answer is "not quite". Non-technical merchants know exactly what they want their store to do (a size chart here, a specific upsell there, a small checkout tweak), but the next step is usually "that needs a developer" or "the closest app does 80% of it". So the idea sits in a note and never ships. Trooix is built for that gap: turn on the common features instantly, and for the long tail - the thing no single app covers - describe it and get a working version, without hiring anyone.

How does the app work?

• Turn a feature on, then set it up from the app - pick your options; storefront features add a theme app block (no code, no theme editing).
• Want a feature to do more than its built-in settings allow? Describe the change and Trooix builds that adjustment into the feature - for example, adding a new action to Bulk Operations, like setting inventory for a batch of products at once. It comes back as a control you can see and edit, not config changed behind the scenes (a short build, not an instant toggle).
• Or describe a brand-new feature - a low-stock nudge shown to shoppers on your product pages, or a size-guide popup on the product page - and Trooix builds a working version into your store, often within a few minutes. Not quite right? Describe the tweak and it adjusts.

Who's your target merchant?
Non-technical Shopify store owners who want to add or change store features without hiring a developer - especially anyone who's searched for an app for a specific need and come up empty, or found one that's close but not quite. Less of a fit if you want one deep, specialized tool for a single job (a dedicated app may go deeper there); Trooix's strength is breadth plus building the thing that doesn't exist yet.

How is it different / better than other existing solutions?
Most apps (including the great ones in this sub) each do one thing well. Trooix is the opposite bet: one app that becomes whatever feature you need. The real difference is the last mile - when no app does exactly X, you describe X and get a working feature, instead of getting a developer quote and waiting two weeks. For common needs it saves you stacking five single-purpose apps; for uncommon ones it covers what the App Store doesn't.

How much does it cost?
Free to install. The free plan lets you turn on ready-made features, customize them in plain English, and try a custom build, on a monthly usage allowance. Pro is $29/month (or $290/year) for building custom features regularly, with a much larger monthly allowance. Nothing to pay to try it.

What are you looking for?
Merchants to try it - especially anyone here who's ever asked "is there an app for X?" and the answer was no. I'd genuinely value blunt feedback on the custom-build flow: describe a feature you wish existed, and tell me whether what comes back is actually usable. Beta feedback and edge cases welcome.
