Single-use-case Shopify apps that help merchants save time and sell more.

How these apps help Shopify store owners

  1. Faster product and listing management.

  2. More sales, by showing shoppers real stock levels, so they know when something they want is about to sell out.

  3. Better visibility in AI search, so assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity can find and recommend a store's products.

How I got into Shopify apps

  1. In 2023 I went to an indie hacker retreat at AltSpace in Dharamshala, India, and met a lot of indie hackers doing really well with their Shopify app businesses.

  2. They pushed me to give it a try. Within two months, my first app was at $700 MRR. Since then, Shopify has had my attention, and I've launched more apps.

  3. I've never looked back. Now I'm the one pushing other indie hackers to try Shopify.

Are Shopify apps still worth building?

  1. The market is crowded, and Shopify is moving fast in AI. The features it builds into the platform kill apps every day.

  2. But there's still room to build great apps and make good revenue from them, if you play it smart.

  3. Choose your niche carefully, invest in App Store optimization, and focus on your merchants: their use case, and making them succeed.
