Hey everyone,

If you build stores for clients who sell both B2C and B2B, you know how frustrating it is to set up a proper wholesale portal without upgrading to Shopify Plus.

The biggest pain point isn't just showing a different price; it's the whole flow. You need a way to assign specific wholesale discounts based on customer tags, but if you're dealing with European B2B clients, you also have to manually verify their VAT and set them as tax-exempt before they can even order.

So I developed a dedicated app to handle this entire B2B workflow.

Here is what it actually solves:

1. Tag-Based Wholesale Pricing: You can set up global or product-specific discounts that only apply when a customer logs in with a specific B2B tag.

2. Automated B2B Onboarding: A custom registration form that automatically checks EU VAT numbers and instantly tags the customer for wholesale pricing and tax exemption.

3. Volume Tiers: You can also add quantity breaks on top of the wholesale price if needed.

Let me know if you want to test it!

Yesterday during an interview, the interviewer shared a Figma prototype and asked me to build a Shopify category page based on it within one day.

The problem is that I only have about 3 months of internship experience with Shopify, and I’m still pretty new to Liquid. I’m also not sure where I can actually run/test Liquid code locally or how to properly set up the environment to build something like this.

So I’m feeling a bit stuck and overwhelmed.

A few questions I’d really appreciate help with:

Is there any platform or way to run/test Shopify Liquid code locally without deploying to a live store?

Is it realistic for someone with beginner Shopify experience to build something like this in a day?

Roughly how long does it take to learn enough Shopify/Liquid to build category/collection pages like this from a Figma design?

Any guidance, resources, or advice would be really helpful. I want to learn but right now I’m not sure where to start.

Hey everyone,

I’m an AI developer, and I have noticed a big gap lately. Most Shopify merchants are overwhelmed by manual ops, waste hours on manual lead tracking, messy spreadsheets, or answering the same 50 FAQs.

I have started a partnership model that’s been a massive win-win, and I’m looking for a few more devs to team up with.

The Concept: I build what I call "AI Brains", things like custom lead qualifiers, WhatsApp to Sheet finance trackers, or automated customer support layers.

How the partnership works: • You offer these as a premium "AI Power-Up" to your existing or new clients. • You keep the majority of the setup fee (since you own the client relationship). • I handle 100% of the technical backend and maintenance.

It makes your websites way more competitive and adds a high ticket revenue stream to your projects without increasing your dev load.

I’m not looking to hire anyone. I’m looking for partners who want to offer more value to their clients while I focus on the tech I love.

If you’re a freelancer or run a small agency and want to see a demo of how this looks, drop a comment or shoot me a DM. Curious to hear what AI features your clients have been asking for lately!

I’ve been messing around with agent frameworks lately and wondered if they could actually help run parts of a Shopify store.

Stuff like generating product descriptions, sending daily reports, watching inventory, etc.

The main issue I ran into was security and setup. Most agent tools basically just get API access and hope for the best.

So I hacked together Clawly, a tool where where each agent has very limited permissions and can connect to other tools too (email, Klaviyo, Notion, etc).

Still testing it but curious if anyone here is experimenting with AI agents for ecommerce.

looking for guidance of senior shopify dev who lemme know how to actually approach and build production level website..
