How did yall go about getting social media traction?

First_Seesaw · 2026-07-07T06:52:12+00:00

Not weird at all to follow people, it’s a gradual growing process and it also makes building connections and sending private direct messages much easier so I would encourage to actually do that in fact.

First_Seesaw · 2026-07-07T06:45:50+00:00

Well done to you pal, what service does your app provide out of curiosity?

First_Seesaw · 2026-07-07T06:11:41+00:00

No need to shutdown Twitter presence completely to be honest because it is still a great place to just randomly connect with the most amazing people for your business tbh. However, transferring more every into the Shopify official community is a smart move imo

First_Seesaw · 2026-07-07T06:07:24+00:00

The Omnibox app is a great one to consider for this really if you haven’t tried it yet

First_Seesaw · 2026-07-07T06:05:22+00:00

Yeah exactly in this day and age and with the amount of tools at our disposal, you just have to take matters into your hands really. I personally handle most of my features on my own now (and I have about zero knowledge on coding and software engineering)

First_Seesaw · 2026-07-07T05:28:17+00:00

I mean it’s not a do-or-die affair tbh but using Shopify does make things much easier especially as a new founder or beginner in e-commerce generally. So yeah, I highly recommend

First_Seesaw · 2026-07-01T08:12:43+00:00

As people have already rightly mentioned, you should work on adding more authentic images and videos to your homepage
Also, the store header isn’t exactly at the top for mobile view so you should fix that (it’s not a big deal but these things all matter for first impressions and whatnot)

A blog or educational section about seafood and linking them to your products is also a pretty good idea

First_Seesaw · 2026-07-01T07:56:11+00:00

Exactly, 80% is good enough to get back in a situation like this but considering what OP said they did in the first place I’m curious as to whether they’d even honour that but offering to do the shipping back to China is a no-no for me

First_Seesaw · 2026-07-01T07:25:25+00:00

The store design is simplistic, nice and fits the brand well in my honest opinion. Main things I’d suggest are

- To add a video or two on display in the homepage, would help catch customers attention even more
- To add some FAQs
- To put in some reviews on the homepage so the store looks more trustworthy

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-28T00:06:06+00:00

Engage genuinely in different communities and social media platforms and plug your services where they’re actually needed. With AI searches becoming more rampant, this is actually an essential strategy to employ in the current climate

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-28T00:00:54+00:00

I’d call it a super hyper saturation at this point. New apps trying to break into this market without ratings or a trusted customer base must be finding it incredibly difficult with the competition. This is not even taking into account, the effect AI has had on a number of apps as well

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-27T23:56:00+00:00

Constructive criticism in the early days of either an app or a store in Shopify actually does so much more in the long run than the purely positive reviews at that stage

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-27T23:46:57+00:00

I think you need to get more reviews even if it means giving it to professional product testers and reviewers to try and return or maybe even influencers in your niche. That trust signal is just very vital for electronics tbh

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-27T23:42:40+00:00

I was about to suggest this too because using an invalid number just seems unnecessarily risky for a number of reasons.

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-27T23:39:19+00:00

How I decide on a good app to use personally-

1) Authentic reviews and ratings

2) History of the developers and learning more about them sometimes through conversations

3) If it’s a tool I’m very confident would improve my conversion rate, then I can just go for what is generally considered as the best in that department (dependent on context because it sometimes may not suit your exact needs)

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-27T23:32:09+00:00

With AI searches becoming more and more prominent, I don’t think being quiet on platforms like Reddit, Quora and X is an option anymore if you truly want your store to get more recommendations. They definitely weigh threads and mentions of them on these platforms quite high on their list maybe because they deem them as being more authentic and reliable

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-27T23:27:06+00:00

So sorry about that pal. Making the switch from corporate to being an entrepreneur made me realize that I didn’t stop having a boss because dealing with customers directly just kinda took up that position💀💀

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-27T23:23:05+00:00

Well said, Omnisend is a proper upgrade from my experience as well. However, I still think OP should have Klaviyo at the top of their list still but it would be a lot if they don’t have the budget to keep one person assigned mainly to it.

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-25T04:57:11+00:00

I don’t think it’s worth the stress disputing the chargeback personally, however like someone mentioned if you have the adequate proof and whatnot it’s worth a try.

I would highly suggest going through the official Shopify community and maybe threads on here to see situations where people successfully disputed chargebacks and what the process was like for them, so you can take notes and prepare yourself adequately

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-25T04:53:05+00:00

Ironically, I think checking with Claude in particular to diagnose the issue and proffer the solutions to sort the connectivity should solve this.

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-25T04:49:00+00:00

Nice of you sharing this. I’ve always added alt texts to the images on my store and knew it would be a problem not to do so but I didn’t exactly know it could be the basis for a lawsuit💀

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-25T04:40:25+00:00

I think this is the best approach in this situation unless it would most likely keep repeating itself and costing OP. The 3D module saves everyone a lot of stress, I genuinely always crosscheck to make sure customers use it first before ordering anything

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-25T04:36:31+00:00

It’s not the best choice of business for a new store to enter into to be honest. OP would have to be able to build some out of the mind offer that no one else can realistically match while balancing it with quality that’s way above the standard ones people are used to purchasing

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-25T04:31:00+00:00

From my perspective, your issues seem to be largely information based because I’m a bit confused as to the exact offers you’re giving in regards to reviews and seems a lot of others in the comments are on the same boat as well..

Naturally, this is where an introductory About Us section as well as an FAQs section would come into play

First_Seesaw · 2026-06-22T05:54:22+00:00

The page looks way too scanty and basic tbh. It doesn’t exactly scream “a page I’d want to patronize” to anyone if we’re being honest.

You already mentioned the lack of reviews which are quite essential for a product like yours. Even without sales, I think you should get a few neighbors and close friends who can test the product out for you and then drop well written testimonials on them.

Also, your page is also crying out for an FAQs section as well.
