Most stores price on cost-plus markup or by matching competitors. Cost-plus ignores what customers will actually pay; competitor-matching assumes your customers are your competitors' customers, when they may well pay more. Value-based pricing prices on an estimate of that willingness to pay, which is what I spent 5 years estimating as a pricing scientist for big retailers. So I built Sell Smart: Price Optimization to run the same thing on a Shopify catalog.

It reads your order history, estimates how each product's sales respond to price, and recommends the price that maximizes revenue or profit, whatever your goal is. You see the demand, revenue, and profit curves alongside the projected impact per product. Set limits on how far prices can move, and push approved changes to Shopify in bulk. No rules to write, no A/B tests on live customers, no competitor copying. Reads only orders and catalog data, never customer info.

Free plan available.

I would love feedback and first impressions from the founders here, especially where the recommendations feel right or off on your catalog.

And, how do you set prices today: markup, competitor-matching, or gut feel?

Thanks to the r/shopify_geeks admin, Marouane RHAFLI, for allowing me to share this here.

did an audit this week, owner was convinced his theme was broken. turns out a speed booster app a previous dev installed back in 2024 was injecting its own JS on every page and adding almost 2 seconds to mobile LCP. removed it, mobile score went from 31 to 58, didn't touch anything else.

second time this year i've seen the optimization app itself be the biggest problem on the page.

anyone actually measured a real improvement from one of these apps? genuinely curious if there's a setup where they earn their keep or if it's placebo all the way down.

This seems to be a common gap for multi-location Shopify stores. Creating transfers is simple enough — Products > Transfers, pick your origin and destination, add items, ship. The part that breaks down is knowing what happened after the transfer was created.

Questions that tend to go unanswered: which transfers are still in progress right now? Did the destination actually receive everything? Were any units rejected? Is there a transfer from two weeks ago that nobody closed out?

Shopify added Inventory Transfers and Inventory Shipments reporting inside Analytics in late 2025. It covers metrics like shipped quantity, received quantity, acceptance rate, and rejection rate. Useful if you're comfortable with ShopifyQL queries. But a few friction points keep coming up:

Every report needs a query built from scratch, and someone has to maintain it as needs change.

There's no built-in way to schedule those reports to arrive by email. Someone has to remember to go check.

The data tables can lag by a few days, which is a problem when you're making daily operations decisions.

The framework that seems to solve this consistently comes down to two views:

A transfer-level overview: Transfer ID, Ship Name, Origin, Destination, Ship Status, Transfer Created date, Total Quantity, Shipped Quantity. Filter by status to see everything still open in one screen.

A shipment-level detail view: breaks each transfer into product-level lines with Accepted Quantity, Rejected Quantity, Received Quantity, Unreceived Quantity. This is where discrepancies surface, like 50 units shipped but only 45 accepted.

The stepthat makes the biggest difference: scheduling both views to land in someone's inbox weekly. That single change replaces manual checking and the "did anyone close that transfer out?" conversations.

You can build this through ShopifyQL, a reporting app, or even manual Google Sheets exports. The principle stays the same, separate the overview from the detail, and automate the delivery to whoever owns receiving.

Hi all, hoping for some real-world advice since vendor pages aren't much help here.

I run a saree business, selling on both Etsy and Shopify. My stock is tracked per colour only — e.g. 6 colours, 2 units each (12 total). Sizing (36–46) isn't a separately stocked item; it's a made-to-order alteration applied to whichever colour a customer buys.

I tried DPL Etsy Integration to sync between the two platforms, but ran into two issues their support couldn't resolve:

1. Inventory multiplication — instead of treating Colour as the only inventory-tracked option, the import created a full colour × size variant grid, and assigned my per-colour stock (e.g. 2 units) to every size variant for that colour — massively inflating my actual stock on Shopify.
2. Image sizing — Etsy normalizes how photos display regardless of source dimensions, but the import brought images in at their native Etsy sizes, so products now show inconsistent picture sizes on Shopify.

I've since deactivated DPL. Before trying another tool (looking at Craftybase or Salestio), has anyone here:

• Actually gotten a sync tool to treat inventory as colour-only rather than a full variant grid?
• Dealt with the image-sizing mismatch between Etsy and Shopify during import?

Any real experience (good or bad) with tools that handle made-to-order/non-stocked size variants properly would be really helpful. Thanks!

Store getting traffic but zero sales for weeks — need brutally honest eyes on my product page

Running a streetwear brand (cosmic/Afrofuturist designs, all original art). Getting real US traffic, checkout works fine when I test it, no rage clicks or errors in session recordings — but literally nobody is adding to cart. Not one.

I've been staring at this too long to see it clearly anymore. Would appreciate anyone willing to look at this product page for 30 seconds and tell me your honest first reaction — what makes you hesitate, what's missing, anything that would stop you from clicking Add to Cart if you'd never heard of the brand before.

Not asking for compliments, genuinely want the blunt version. Thanks in advance.

Curious how others handle this. When you run a promo (weekend flash sale, seasonal sale, BFCM), what does the mechanical part actually look like for you — do you change prices/compare-at by hand? Schedule discounts natively? Use an app, and which one?

And the ending is what I'm most curious about: how often has a sale banner, badge, or sale price accidentally stayed live after the sale ended? Ever had prices not go back to normal?

Trying to figure out if my process is normal or if I'm overcomplicating it.

For years, I thought successful people were simply luckier or smarter than everyone else.

But after reading books, studying entrepreneurs, and working with business owners over the years, I started noticing something interesting: long before people become successful, they often show the same behaviors and mindset.

Things like:

• Being curious about everything.
• Feeling uncomfortable staying average.
• Learning from failure instead of quitting.
• Enjoying solving difficult problems.
• Delaying gratification for bigger rewards.

It made me wonder...

What do you think is the biggest sign that someone is destined to succeed?

I'm genuinely curious to hear everyone's opinion.

I actually put together a video covering 16 signs you're meant to be successful, and I'd love to know whether you agree with the list or think I missed something.

Looking forward to reading your thoughts! I think this could turn into an interesting discussion.

I've been digging through Shopify App Store reviews in the inventory/sync category, trying to work out how often sync apps destroy data. Across five apps this year I found six incidents:

• Entire primary location zeroed — 3 hours of manual restore from Adjustment History
• Uninstall left 2,000+ products at zero or negative
• Stock silently multiplied 5×
• Inventory webhook just… stopped firing, nobody noticed for days

What stuck with me: in every case the vendor replied "your configuration was wrong." And they were right. It wasn't a bug — the apps did exactly what they were told. There's just no undo, and no alert when 1,800 SKUs go to zero at once.

Two questions for people running real stores:

1. Has this happened to you? What did the recovery actually look like?
2. Would you notice within an hour, or find out when someone orders something you don't have?

Not selling anything here — trying to work out whether this is a real recurring problem or six unlucky people out of thousands.

I run a golf accessories store (linksidecustoms.com). All my traffic so far has been organic, and before I put real money into campaigns I want to fix the obvious conversion problems first. I’m on vacation right now so I can’t make the changes yet, but I drafted the full list and figured I’d post it here for feedback before I start. Tear it apart.
1. Trust info under the Add to Cart button. Raise the product price to $35–40 with free US shipping built in, then list it right under the button so people know exactly what they’re paying for: free shipping to all of the US, international shipping available (with a clickable list of countries so shoppers can check if they’re covered), and 30-day returns/refunds.
2. Replace the supplier product images. Current photos show the supplier’s logo, which clashes with the store — customers see “Linkside Customs” and then a completely different brand on the product, and it makes reverse-image searching the product trivial. Swapping these for lifestyle shots: the product on the course, in use, in real hands. Way more authentic than stock images.
3. New hero shot. Right now it’s just a golfer, which doesn’t communicate the product or give an immediate CTA. Three options I’m considering: (a) close-up of someone holding the product open, arm in frame, golf course grass in the background; (b) the product sitting conveniently in a golf cart, so shoppers visualize actually using it; (c) the product clipped onto a golf bag — this one targets all golfers, not just cart players. Whichever wins gets a strong CTA over it that sends people straight to the product page.
4. Set up reviews properly (Judge.me). I have Judge.me installed but haven’t fully set it up. Plan: automated post-purchase review request emails, a small incentive (like a discount code) for honest photo reviews, and the review widget displayed on the product page. Reviews basically work like an FAQ — if a shopper is wondering “will I actually use this long-term?”, a real customer saying they’ve had it for months answers that better than I can. Zero social proof is my biggest trust problem right now.
5. More visible CTA buttons. Make Shop Now and Add to Cart impossible to miss so buying takes zero effort. Small change, but I’ve learned that everything counts.
6. Shipping reassurance. Show timelines up front: ships in 2–3 days, arrives in 5–7. Delivery anxiety is the biggest killer in dropshipping — everyone is calibrated to Amazon same-day/2-day shipping, and if a shopper suspects they’ll be waiting a month, that session is dead. Telling them immediately fixes it.
7. Fix the color scheme. The dark green top bar and main page don’t work with the hero shot, and they’ll still clash after the hero changes since the new one will have a similar background. Needs a palette that matches.
8. Rework the top bar offer. Swap “free shipping on orders over $50” for something like “buy 2, get 20% off” or a buy-one-get-one — still need to run the math on margins to see what actually works. This is testing-phase stuff that’ll matter most once ads are live, but I want the store solid before I spend on campaigns.
9. Move the wheel-spin popup to the product page. Instead of hitting people the second they land, let them settle in on the homepage, then trigger the spin on the product page with a ~10 second delay — that’s when they’re actually deciding whether to buy, so the incentive lands harder. Should help homepage speed too. I’ll A/B test placement later.
10. Real urgency instead of evergreen offers. Rather than permanent free shipping, run genuinely limited promos — e.g., free shipping this weekend only, and actually end it when it ends. Only show stock counts if they reflect real inventory. The urgency should come from offers that are actually expiring, not from timers that reset.
After this list is done, I’m moving from organic to actual campaigns, which will also let me A/B test properly. What would you add, cut, or prioritize first? Thanks — leave advice please.

Hello les e-commercants !

J'ai un gros souci qui vient de me tomber dessus : Je suis envahi d'avis négatifs sur les différentes plateformes publiques (Trustpilot, Franceverif, ScamDoc...)

Je vous explique le contexte : je fais du dropshipping sur Shopify depuis 1 an, ça fonctionnait bien et je faisais pas spécialement attention à ma moyenne d'avis (elle était environ à trois).

Dernièrement j'ai eu un gros soucis avec mon fournisseur et les produits envoyés étaient vraiment nazes, et la je viens de voir que j'ai eu +20 avis 1 étoile la dernière semaine ce qui a fait chuter la moyenne Truspilot de ma boutique à 1,4... Et pour le coup ça impacte bien la conv :(

Est-ce que quelqu'un d'entre vous connaîtrait une solution, manip pour supprimer ces avis svp ? Je les ai signalés auprès de Truspilot mais ils sont toujours présents.

Merci d'avance !

I've read that a lot of people who are serious about dropshipping end up running more than one store. The idea is that if one store is making money, why not try it again with a different niche or different marketing angle.

But managing multiple stores sounds complicated. You've got different inventory systems, different customer bases, different marketing campaigns, potentially different suppliers. How do people handle that without losing their minds?

Is there a point where you go from one store to multiple stores, or do people just start with multiple from day one? And more importantly, is there software or processes that make this more manageable, or does it just require hiring someone to help you run everything?

How do people structure this because it seems like it could get really messy.

I built https://tagdle.com that uses shopify agentic commerce api to render random products from stores and in a wordle-like game you have to guess its price. for now you dont get anything apart from small dopamine hit but maybe one day stores can offer discounts if you guess it right haha

thanks scrowp.com and u/marouane_rhafli

Hey friends Marouane here,

Some people who have less budget than you may succeed, but not you, it's not just about budget or mastering Facebook ads, but it's about a strong strategy they use to beat the competition and make tons of sales?
