I think for Shopify Plus you could negotiate. As a Shopify Partner I’ve been given multiple deals to pass onto clients to encourage them to come to Plus (free months, free integration and multiple months off Rebuy) so I assume it works the other way if you’re already on it.

Klaviyo, depending on 1) your MRR with them 2) willingness to sign annual, 3) willingness to walk away, you can negotiate quite a bit with (20 30% in savings)

Hello! I have a shopify store and my 3pl uses ShipHero. I send free samples and B2B orders directly from ShipHero. For accounting and record-keeping purposes, is there another way i could be doing this to better track inventory? Thanks!

I'm looking for a WordPress and WooCommerce expert/consultant. I need someone who can review current WordPress sites and identify opportunities to improve and highlight any compliance issues. Who do you recommend?

Any recommendations on an inventory management tool that plays nicely with Shopify?

anyone have a consumer app they love using and find SEXY??? 🔥

👋 Hey all - quick sanity check from the crew. I’m building a SaaS tool to help simplify media buying. Focus is on campaign optimization + workflow streamlining.

Here’s our current MarTech stack (lean but aiming for depth):
• Framer – landing page
• Tally.so – lead capture forms
• FOMO + Testimonial.to – early trust signals
• HubSpot CRM (free) – lead tracking
• MailerLite – onboarding sequences (considering Customer.io post-MVP)
• Mixpanel – product analytics
• GA4 + GTM + Clarity – site analytics & session replay
• Zapier – glue between tools
• LinkedIn Insight Tag – B2B retargeting
• Buffer – content scheduling (not for listening)

Any red flags or smarter swaps we should be considering? Also open to insights on email/analytics pairings at MVP stage.

can someone explain to me like I’m 5, why ChatGPT (and all ai) can’t exactly replicate a product from an existing image? Wouldn’t that be the easiest part of ai image generation?

Is it possible to add a free gift automatically to people’s orders once they are in the checkout?

We require login and we have a qualifier to unlocked it. We want to avoid giving people the gift multiple times. The only way I can think of to handle this without running into issues is if it could be added during the actual checkout.

(Fulfillment has issues with it adding post purchase with flows)

Anyone have any recommendations for shopify fraud detection apps? Had someone circumvent shopifys detection system on one of my brands.

Anyone have recommendations or ways to get around working with a partner like Bazaarvoice for review syndication (our reviews platform is Okendo) - they charge a FORTUNE and are always unwilling to negotiate, as far as I know they have a monopoly on many retailers so if you retail with a certain partner you may be required to work with BV - but wondering if people have found ways around this

asked around. a friend of a friend is building this. I'm going to try it out. https://anythingllm.com

also, obsidian plugin. https://warpcast.com/artivilla.eth/0x1972554e

Used them in the past, found they quoted strong results but we didn't really see that impact in our overall numbers - this was about 3 years ago though

Hey all - Anyone have good experience either building custom AI agents or hiring a freelancer/agency to do them as a one-off?

Looking to build a few Agents (SEO creator, Topline Sales Analyst, Inventory Forecasting Analyst, Content -> Ads Video Editor) and looking to go from Novice to Smart pretty quickly but know I’d rather hire/buy vs build them myself given bandwidth/time constraints.

we build a page speed tool on our website, feel free to test it out, its free https://ecommerceboost.io/shopify-page-speed-test/

Nostra or Edgemesh would be my recommendations.

Or, I can recommend some great CRO agencies who can help with site speed.

We're looking at address validators on Shopify and they all seem kind of expensive. Does anyone have one they can recommend. Ideally one that doesn't charge per order.

I currently use Pirate Ship to run my shipping, it’s a free app with discounts. My question - Do platforms like Shipstation and others drop even LARGER discounts than a free app? Or are you mainly paying for other tools and features within the app?

Ahh got it <@U07U7C0H7AQ> Do you have any inputs on it?

Wouldn't the right answer depend how you position the products?

I'm no expert, but be aware that you may need to dedupe if Elevar and TW are set up to track the same events, i.e. if you’re using Elevar to send events to Meta, and TriplePixel is also sending to Meta, you’re risking duplicate conversions.

As far as I know, there’s no plug-and-play integration, no need to connect them, and no benefit from trying unless you're doing custom data warehousing or advanced engineering work.

Hi everyone! Any one had any luck with AI powered CRO platforms?
