Problem
Most Shopify app teams rely on cold outreach, scattered customer calls, or support tickets to meet potential new customers and understand existing ones. This approach is inconsistent, slow, and rarely tied to real buying moments—conversations happen too late, after decisions are already made, and product decisions are based on assumptions rather than patterns.
Solution
app store research provides a consistent flow of qualified Shopify brand conversations by connecting app teams with vetted, vetted Shopify operators. The platform gives ongoing access to merchants who are actively using apps and integrations on leading e-commerce ecosystems, enabling teams to speak with the right brands every month. Through a paid research network, app teams can gather product feedback, uncover buying intent, and build sales pipeline from real merchant conversations. The platform handles the vetting and scheduling, so teams avoid cold outreach and instead engage with relevant, qualified decision-makers. With over 3,000 Shopify brands in the network and more than $1 million paid to participants, the platform has already facilitated thousands of product conversations and pipeline opportunities.
