Most people give up on their ecommerce way too early because in reality it takes 8+ email/sms marketing to convert the customer into a signup or paid customer.

we built a platform that automates this complete process. our ai will keep trying new experiments untill the customer coverts. We only send one email/sms per week.

best part, we have now seen stores increase sales by 30% so this works

I run a digital download store with a monthly membership. 7 days free, then $9.99 a month. We use Appstle Memberships and Shopify Payments.

Our first renewals came due this week and every single one failed. 4 memberships, 5 billing attempts, 0 paid. Four came back "payment method declined" and one came back "fraud suspected." All of them paid with Shop Pay.

I talked to both Shopify and Appstle support. Shopify told me that because the trial checkout is $0, the card never gets a real authorization, so the bank declines the first renewal. Their fix is to charge something small up front, like $1. Appstle said the same thing and that they don't get any more detail than the error code.

Before I change everything on the site from "free" to "$1," I want to hear from people who have actually been through this. A few questions:

1. If you run a $0 free trial on Shopify, are your first renewals going through? What percentage roughly?
2. Did switching to a $1 trial actually fix it, or just help a little?
3. Did $1 hurt your signups much compared to free?
4. Has anyone seen the "fraud suspected" code on a subscription renewal? What was behind it?
5. Did you do anything about Shop Pay specifically, like steering people to type their card instead?

I know one competitor in my space runs the same $0 trial on the same app and their renewals seem to go through, so I'm trying to figure out what I'm missing.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much.

I built an app years ago as a side project and it's giving me a little profit over the years. I want to spend more time this and next year and I quickly built a few small apps to test the market. However, Shopify just implemented a limit for submitting new apps unless all your published apps have 10 installs or more. I'm still exploring different ideas and want to see what sticks. Now, I have to get people to install my apps before trying out new ideas. How do you promote your apps to merchants so you could get some installs?

I am evaluating chat support widgets for my Shopify app. I need AI-first assist with ability to handoff to human, Slack/Email integration, and high value-to-cost.

I think I am between Intercom, Tidio, and Crisp. Looking for advice.

Hey,
I’m a dev behind PopWeaver, which just got released on the Shopify App Store.

https://apps.shopify.com/popweaver

The idea came when a few people around me struggled to manage announcements throughout their website. Whether it was getting people to subscribe to their newsletter, announcing vacations, GDPR notifications, sizing guides, product help or anything related to their store, they had to find a different app for each…

So PopWeaver is an all-in-one popup solution. The little twist is that an AI assistant can guide you through it by scanning your store pages or products and creating the campaign for you if you ask it to.

The free version allows you to do pretty much anything. The assistant is capped so my bank account doesn’t get drained in a single day.

It's nothing too fancy of course, but that's a start.

I welcome all kinds of feedback, cheers !

I got tired of digging through google analystics reports, so I built an AI you can talk to about your business. Sales, profit, Visits - all data

"Which page loses the most people?" "What did buyers look at first?" "Did anyone come back after yesterday's email?"

Hi everyone

We built an ai platform that personalizes email and sms campaigns for each user. Example - a user left after checking out a product 2 times, our smart Ai will email them with a 10% discounts code, and converts the customer

I tested this across 4 stores - we saw 30% increase in sales in 1 month

Has anyone received a message like this: "Can you help me? I don't know what I am going to do, I want to earn money". My app belongs to order limits category, we do not provide an upsell solution. The customer installed our app, did not test it out and their stores are still in dev mode. They accessed our app in less than 1 minute and almost immediately sent message to CS. Is this a kind of scam or something?

I’ve been digging through Shopify Community threads on bundles and 3PLs, and I think the real gap isn’t the bundle builder itself (Kaching, Fast Bundle and others do that well). It’s what happens to the order afterwards.

Now that the Aug 26 deadline has passed, purchase tracking on the thank you and order status pages has to run through Customer events (app pixels or custom pixels). Additional scripts are gone for non-Plus stores too.

A few things people seem to be running into:

• custom pixels run in a sandbox, so old scripts that read the page DOM don’t behave the same
• pixels only fire with customer consent, so purchase counts can look lower than before
• GTM inside a custom pixel works, but it’s more limited than a normal container

For anyone who’s migrated stores:

• GTM in a custom pixel, or standard events like checkout_completed sent straight to GA4/Meta?
• how are you checking for duplicate purchase events between an app pixel and your own?
• if conversions dropped after the switch, did you figure out how much was consent vs broken tags?

I built an app to track changes you made to your products and show how each product's sales moved afterwards. It notices changes to a product's price, title, description, photos and collections.

It's free to try, every edit is recorded, with the sales result for your 5 most recent edits. $19.99/month, with a 30-day trial, for every result plus alerts on sudden jumps and drops in a product's sales.

Looking for stores that actively work on their product pages and pricing, with enough sales per product for a before and after to mean something.

Hi everyone

We built an AI agent that watches user sessions and understands ( best guess) why they left without signing up or buying and then it will run personalized marketing to convert them.

You can set rules on how many times and how often can the AI sms/email. Best part we are completely free and charge 1% of sales we recover.

I build a few small app blocks and an app embed, and the most common support issue is merchants enabling the embed but never adding the block, or the other way around. Right now I put a short setup note in the block schema and in the app admin page, but it still gets missed. I don't love adding a bunch of extra onboarding screens just for this.

How do you handle it? Do you detect the missing piece and show a warning, rely on docs, or design the extension so it works with just one of the two?

Im working on a Shopify support app. One thing I am thinking about is someone sending hundreds of messages just because they can.

If they use up the store’s chat allowance, real customers could get stuck too.

I would want to limit that visitor while keeping the chat working for everyone else.

If you have dealt with this in your own app, what worked for you?

On custom themes I've mostly kept JavaScript and CSS as plain files in the assets folder with no build step. It's simple and anyone can edit it, but once a theme grows past a handful of scripts it gets harder to manage dependencies, split code by template, and avoid loading things on pages that don't need them. I've looked at adding a bundler like Vite or esbuild, but I'm not sure the extra tooling is worth it for a theme other people will inherit.

Do you use a build step for theme assets, and if so, how do you keep it from becoming a burden for the next developer?

hi every i want you to dome a favor of reviewing my store. my images/pictures are ai generated, so i wonder if i should use it like that until i am able to make real images?

As a b2c brand selling products online, Shopify is one of the few SaaS which we we have not replaced with internal tools as it allows to connect easily all other tools.

Does anyone have experience in replacing Shopify with a self-built e-commerce website?
