Hey guys,

I have built a tool to help all app developers capture NPS from their app users within their dashboard. We have used this in Recurpay, Return Prime, Nexus and the results are pretty amazing. Here is all that you can do:

1. Trigger live chat immediately if someone is giving low score (Detractors)
2. Fully customisable in terms of Color and content to match your app branding
3. Ask your users for additional info if they rate you low

We used to pay $100 a month to Beamer for just this, add to your app today and let me know if you have any questions or feedback.

NPS scores are very helpful and keeps you on top of the customer pulse (hence the name pulse), I am planning to add changelog to it soon. Give it a try today.

I've been hunting for a booking tool for a while, and I kept running into the same gap. Most apps let a customer pick a single time and that's it. But a restaurant isn't like a doctor's appointment. People don't just show up to eat and leave. They come to spend good time, so a booking really needs a start time and an end time (turn time), or you can't manage your floor properly.

I couldn't find an app that handled this the way I wanted, so I ended up building one: Reservics, a Shopify app that turns your store into a full restaurant booking engine.

A few things it does:

• Online booking widget that drops into your Shopify theme, with shifts, turn times, and 15-min slots
• Optional deposits at booking through Shopify Checkout (cuts no-shows)
• Live floor plan + waitlist so walk-ins and freed tables don't get wasted
• Email reminders with one-tap cancel, plus a customizable food menu

I'd genuinely love feedback from other devs and restaurant folks here:

• If you run or build for restaurants, how are you handling reservations right now?
• Is the start/end time (turn time) thing actually a pain for others, or is it just me?
• What's the one booking feature you always wish existed but never find?

App link if you want to poke at it (honest feedback very welcome 🙏):

Excited to share that my first Shopify app is now live on the Shopify App Store! More unique apps are on the way. I’d love your feedback. https://apps.shopify.com/om-whatsapp-order-button

I've been thinking about adding a customer retention app to my Shopify store since getting repeat purchases is something I haven't really focused on yet.There are so many options that it's hard to tell which ones are genuinely worth using. If you've had good results with one, which would you recommend? I'd also be interested in hearing if there are any I should stay away from.

Launched my first Shopify app Griffin Back-in-Stock Notifier. It automates restock alerts for merchants to send email notifications when stock is back. Biggest surprise building it was understanding all the components or parts of a Shopify app - theme extension, App Bridge and so on.

Would really appreciate feedback on the listing/onboarding if anyone has a minute: https://apps.shopify.com/griffin-back-in-stock-notifier

Can I get some feedback on my app? And the content of the website? Especially if it’s solving a problem you’re seeing lately.

It’s intended for any ecommerce shop because we’re developing a headless API. But I figured the best market would be Shopify stores.

Just launched EU Shield - a Shopify app that handles EU compliance in one place: cookie consent with real script blocking (Consent Mode v2), an EU Withdraw button so customers can file their 14-day withdrawal requests right from your storefront (tracked in a dashboard, no email chaos), GDPR data request workflow, auto-generated legal pages, and GPSR safety info. Free plan available, paid from $9.99/mo. Built it because most EU stores I audited were running banners that don’t block anything and handling withdrawals by email. Feedback very welcome: https://apps.shopify.com/eu-shield-gdpr

Hey everyone,

We have been hard at work optimizing and improving our Shopify product customizer app, WowOptions.

We recently updated the app with 30+ premade templates. The idea is to help merchants set up customizable products faster instead of building every option set from scratch.

There are templates for things like custom pizzas, chocolate boxes, pet ID tags, personalized jerseys, hoodies, and more.

You can pick a template and then customize the fields, choices, pricing, styles, and a lot more. We'd really appreciate some feedback from Shopify merchants and developers. 

Do you think premade templates like these are actually helpful when setting up customizable products? Are there any specific product types or templates you'd like us to add?

What the heck is going on and has anyone found a solution to this? We have had 10 reviews from merchants using our app and if anyone ever owned an app they know how hard it is to get people say good stuff about your app. the constant service, the constant monitoring, etc. this feels so shit right now

Did you use paid service or violating shopify policy for getting reviews like intentionally having bugs to fix them when users request?

For me, all of my 19 organic survived, not a single one was removed, so I feel like the system worked or at least the rate of false positive is ignorable, 5% or less.

Disclaimer: I'm not advocating the paid review

Shopify's AI engine is in process of deleting the review by some enhanced signals. What are those? Neither Shopify nor I am aware about it.

Here is the story of 2 apps.

3 days back, a merchant installed our app, and we invested quite some time helping him. Then he uninstalled the app. Next day, he installed our app again. When we asked for the reasons, he informed that he went for a much cheaper app but he came to us because their support was stinking. They had an option on their app page to review the app in exchange of $20 credit and he complained to Shopify support regarding the same.

Next day we found out that, the concerned app's 80% reviews got deleted, and their rating tanked to just 2.5 because of the original reviews.

Fast forward today, we found out that we lost out on our number of reviews because Shopify is in process of deleting the reviews again (after last year). Unlike last year, the current deletion is completely flawed because Shopify continuously archives the reviews from non paid store, closed store etc so these deletions are from the stores which are still live and using our app.

The most shocking aspect: The app for which all the paid reviews were deleted, all reviews came back and their rating got better than before the deletion.

Then is another app, which you can tell just by having one look on their reviews. The app origin is US, while all the reviews are from Pakistan. The reviews are done within few minutes of the install, and app is very new. Within 3 months of launch, they got more than 30 reviews, which is impossible in the current crowded scenario. Any sensible human will tell within 5s that these are paid reviews, but possibly AI can't. They didn't have any impact at all on their reviews.

At last, you have to accept your fate. You can't get to know which reviews got deleted and you can't appeal.

History always repeats. When one becomes big, it considers itself invincible, and then comes "Nobody can touch me attitude". This is where downfall starts.

Possibly someone forgot, that partners are an integral part and they played a very major role in shaping up Shopify, what is it today. And now they getting shown the door.

Hi everyone,

We've noticed that a significant number of reviews have disappeared across multiple Shopify apps, including older reviews that had been visible for years.

Has anyone else observed the same issue?

We're trying to understand:

• Is Shopify currently removing reviews as part of a cleanup or policy update?
• Is there an official announcement explaining why this is happening?
• Have your app reviews also decreased recently?

If anyone has received communication from Shopify or has insights into what's happening, we'd really appreciate you sharing them.

Thanks!

As you all may know, Shopify is in another cycle of mass deletion of reviews. We understand that, with such a big ecosystem like Shopify, control of fake reviews is needed to make a level playing field. But what is not acceptable is an overly authoritarian approach and silencing the partners' voice completely.

I'll make my points speak up with some examples...

Shopify can remove reviews that are flagged as non-compliant with their review policies. This happens without notice after the first removal notification: There is no removal notification sent by Shopify. The non-compliance signals are automated and flawed. There are plenty of fully compliant, in-business stores for which reviews are removed.

If the reviews were archived, they aren’t eligible for appeal or reinstatement: This is interesting. An AI agent takes a decision of review removal. And you're not even eligible to even appeal or even have a chance to be heard to prove the genuine review.

Shopify won't share specifics on which reviews were removed or why, to protect their detection algorithm: So how does one prove that the review removal was flawed and contest it if it's not even shared which reviews are removed?

You can reply directly to the removal notification email with supporting evidence. The Partner Governance team will review it: Oh, sorry! Did I read it right? You can't appeal it. You can't know which reviews are removed. You're notified by email that some reviews are going to be deleted, but you can provide the evidence in an email that was never sent, for the reviews which you don't know.

Shopify Says: "You’re right, and I want to be clear about this. Shopify doesn’t share which specific reviews were removed or the reasons behind each removal. That’s intentional so we can protect the integrity of the detection system. I understand that makes it very hard to contest a removal, and that is a real limitation of the current process."
So Shopify accepts it as limitation, but whats the remedy?

Now the greater problem: There are only 50 reviews which appear in the archive. It means that reviews are permanently removed from the system. There is absolutely no trace of them. Absolutely no way to know which reviews are removed, and absolutely no way to contest it.

IS THIS NOT AN OVERLY AUTHORITARIAN POLICY? THEN WHAT IS IT?

IF YOU'RE DENYING THE INFORMATION, IF YOU'RE DENYING EVEN A CHANCE TO BE HEARD AND EVEN A CHANCE TO PROVE IT, THEN WHAT SHOULD IT BE CALLED?

At least, in the movie MERCY, the AI system gave the accused a 90-minute window to prove their innocence before carrying out its decision. Here, even that opportunity is denied.

Hi Shopify devs,

Anyone of you facing low installs from the last 2-3 months?

Hey everyone,

Built a small app for Shopify merchants who don't want to log into

their admin multiple times a week just to check revenue and orders.

What it does: connects to a Shopify store (OAuth, read-only), then

sends a performance report by email automatically - revenue, recent

orders, product count, and a week-over-week comparison.

Stack: Next.js, Firebase, Shopify OAuth with expiring tokens, pdf-lib

for reports, Resend for emails. Went through the full app review

process - GDPR compliance webhooks, protected customer data request,

took about 9 days to get approved.

Just got listed on the Shopify App Store:

https://apps.shopify.com/reporting-saas-public

$7.99/month, 7-day free trial.

Happy to talk shop about the review process or the tech stack if

anyone's building something similar.

Hi there 👋

I'm looking to acquire published Shopify apps.
I'm interested in apps of all sizes, whether they have:

Many or few installs
Lots or no reviews
High or low revenue
Active or inactive development

If you own a published Shopify app and are considering selling it, I'd love to hear from you.

📩Send me a DM, and lets talk

Finally added my app to review.

Just wanted to know (from the people who actually have live apps on the Shopify app store), how much time does it usually take for the review process?

Can you also provide some random suggestions (something you may feel is missing from docs or a new Shopify dev will miss easily).

I've had a Shopify store for years. Like everyone else, I ended up nickel-and-diming myself with a bunch of separate apps: inventory alerts, an app to show customers when their order is arriving, one for reviews, one for a chatbot... Add it up, and it was $100+/month for a pile of disconnected pieces that barely talked to each other.

I have zero coding experience. None. I watched a few YouTube tutorials on Claude Code and figured, why not try it. I started by asking for small, specific things, and without really planning it, ended up with what's basically a custom CRM + operations software built exactly for my business:

* Inventory alerts
* AI chatbot
* Review collector
* Meta Ads integration
* WhatsApp integration (huge in my country)
* Connection to my delivery supplier
* A module to send orders to production on demand (print/fabric on demand)
* A task manager for pending items
* Plus a bunch of smaller things I kept bolting on

I'm not selling any of this. It's mine, built for my own operation, and that's it.

Here's what got me thinking: as an entrepreneur, I can now build an MVP of my own internal tool and keep adding features that fit only my business. Before AI, that level of customization would've cost a fortune (a full-time developer, an agency, months of work). Now the only real way to get that level of fit is to go custom, because no SaaS product is going to match it exactly.

So here's my question/take for this sub: if this becomes more common, doesn't it force SaaS companies to evolve toward ultra-personalized, custom-fit offerings, while small businesses that don't need something robust or "enterprise-grade" just build their own and move on? It feels like this path (small businesses building their own custom software instead of paying for 10 subscriptions) is going to become a lot more common.

Anyone else doing something similar? What limits have you run into with this approach?
