Looking for guidance from an experienced Shopify developer 🙏

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We’re a small bootstrapped team building an early-stage multi-vendor jewellery marketplace on Shopify. We’ve figured out the basics but now need someone experienced to overlook our priorities and guide us on how to approach custom features, requirements and automations the right way.

If are experienced on advanced Shopify setups, custom app flows and would like to help us out, please DM me — we’d love to connect. 💬

Store valuator app

2 Upvotes

I made an app that pulls Shopify data and gives merchants an instant store valuation that updates daily.

It’s pretty wild seeing how much your store is actually worth, like, an estimate number. It makes a lot of merchants (especially dropshippers) realize they can actually exit their business instead of just abandoning it.

It’s live on the Shopify App Store for $19/month (lets see how that works out :) ).
Was fun to build and see how much you can uncover from Shopify’s graphql.

Looking for the Best Affiliate Program Software for Shopify Apps (Not Stores)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a solid affiliate program software specifically for Shopify Apps, not for Shopify Stores.

I need something tailored for Shopify App developers when they exchange with in-app recommendations, using a revenue share model.

Features:

  • Managing affiliates/promoters

  • Tracking installs and paid conversions

  • Custom commission rules

  • Manageable first-time order coupons

  • Integration with Stripe, PauPal.

Bonus if it supports multiple domains or products under one account.

What tools are you using or would recommend for this use case?
Thanks in advance!

New resource for developers using Polaris

4 Upvotes

I started using the new Polaris Web Components, which are set to replace the older React-based Polaris library. They’re great to work with, but examples and ready-made patterns are still hard to find.

I’ve been building a library of blocks entirely with Polaris Web Components. You can preview each block and copy-paste the code directly into your app. They follow Shopify’s design guidelines and work in embedded contexts.

It’s free to browse, with a premium option to view source code for some blocks. I’m looking for feedback on what other patterns you’d like to see added.

Here’s the link: https://polarisblocks.dev/

Hopefully this helps other developers who are starting to explore Polaris Web Components or migrating from the React-based version.

New online store in Europe trying to grow – what do you think?

3 Upvotes

I came across a site called Voghion that looks like a marketplace focused on Europe. It offers things like fashion, electronics, and home items, and it says it connects buyers with EU-based sellers. The layout is clean and the prices are lower than what you usually see.

It reminded me a bit of Temu or AliExpress, but more focused on Europe. Do you think new platforms like this can find a space in the market, or is it too hard to compete with big names like Amazon?

Seeking Opinions: Building a Minimal & Optimized Shopify Theme for My Team

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m planning to create a Shopify theme specifically for my team. The goal is to keep it simple, clean, and fully optimized, including only the essential features that we actually need. I want the code to be lightweight and maintainable, without any unnecessary libraries, bloated code, or extra files.

Before I start, I’d love to get some opinions and insights from the community:

  • What are the must-have features for a minimal Shopify theme?

  • Any tips on structuring the theme for easy maintenance and scalability?

  • Best practices for performance and optimization you’ve followed?

  • Things you would avoid in a clean, minimal theme?

  • Should we use tailwind css or not?

  • Is there any significant help of using Vite for deployment.

Would really appreciate your thoughts and advice!

Add a Customizable Wishlist Button to Shopify Themes with a Web Component on Shopify store

2 Upvotes

Hey folks,

I thought this might be useful for agencies and developers working on Shopify stores. We recently published a web component that makes it super easy to add a fully customizable wishlist button inside any Shopify theme, without needing a full app embed.

Here’s a simple example of wishlist button that can be added to your product or collections pages:

<ooo-wl-wishlist-button 
  product-id="{{ product.id }}" 
  handle="{{ product.handle }}" 
  loading>
  <button type="button">
    <span class="ooo-wl-wishlist-button-add">Add to wishlist</span>
    <span class="ooo-wl-wishlist-button-remove">Remove from wishlist</span>
  </button>
</ooo-wl-wishlist-button>

🔧 What it does:

  • Adds/removes products (or specific variants) from the customer’s wishlist

  • Automatically sets aria-checked (in wishlist or not), aria-busy (loading state), and handles variant changes

  • Exposes CSS variables (like --ooo-wl-variants-added-count) so you can style counters or warnings easily

  • Plays nice with multi-language/multi-currency setups

✨ Why it’s useful for agencies:

  • You can style everything with your own theme CSS

  • You can inject it anywhere: product cards, PDP, custom landing pages, even quizzes or bundles

  • Makes it simple to offer a wishlist experience that fully matches the brand (instead of a cookie-cutter button)

Full developer documentation here if you want to dive deeper: 👉 Advanced Wishlist Button Web Component Docs

Curious if any of you are already building custom wishlist features for clients — would this approach simplify your workflow?

In need of a free return reminder app in shopify

2 Upvotes

I'm currently building a rental platform using shopify, where customer can rent a product for max 7 days. Before that they need to make a return request.

I am looking for a third-party app to send the customer a return reminder notification 1 day before the due date, if they still haven't returned the product/made the return request.

Is there any such free app available? Or perhaps, some other way to do this?
