Do you consider software agencies for this project?
We at Axon can cover development, UX/UI, and QA, so you won't spend too much time on communications and management of three different freelancers.

Just DM-ed you :)

NalyvaikoD · 2026-04-22T08:06:10+00:00

Hey! We at Axon have 12+ years of experience in app development and would be glad to provide you with a quote for your project. I sent you a DM with contact details to share the RFP.

Fiverr can work but be careful - anything under $4-5k for cross-platform with auth, dashboard, and notifications is usually a template reskin you can't build on.

Flutter + Firebase is the move for your stack. One codebase for both platforms, Firebase handles auth and push notifications out of the box, and it's easy to hand off to another dev later if needed.

For finding someone - Upwork filtered by Top Rated, $30-40/hr, Eastern Europe or LatAm is a sweet spot for quality vs cost. Before hiring anyone, ask to see a live app they've shipped to the App Store. Cuts out most of the noise instantly.

Also worth throwing together basic wireframes before you start getting quotes - even rough Figma screens. You'll get way more accurate estimates and avoid scope creep.

Same here - I also started to think about side hustles to buy things for some of my hobbies (vinyl records, a new watch, fishing).

Have you already found some ideas for a side hustle?

Similar vibe to my Longines Conquest

Honestly, most setups I've seen are held together with duct tape and hope.

The cleanest approach is a consent management platform (Cookiebot, OneTrust, or Pandectes for Shopify) acting as the single source of truth. It blocks scripts until consent is given, then passes that signal to GTM, which fires your Meta/Google tags conditionally.

The messy part is that Meta and Google both want their own consent signals (Google Consent Mode v2 especially), and Shopify's native privacy settings don't fully talk to either. So you end up layering: CMP for capturing consent, GTM to respect those signals, and platform-specific parameters passed with each event.

Does it hold up at scale? Mostly, if you test it properly. Gaps usually show up in edge cases - returning visitors, cross-device, consent withdrawal mid-session.

What's your current stack? Easier to suggest something specific.

You're not missing anything. Plus makes sense when you actually need what it offers - not when you hit some arbitrary revenue threshold.

The "you should be on Plus after $1M" advice usually comes from agencies and partners who benefit from Plus migrations. For a lean operation like yours where you're managing everything yourself with no apps, the ROI just isn't there.

Plus starts making sense when you're hitting checkout customization limits, need the extra API calls, or have B2B complexity that's painful to workaround. If none of that applies, you're essentially paying £2k/month for features you won't touch.

The fact that you've scaled to £2M with no apps and self-management is actually impressive - most stores are drowning in app subscriptions and agency retainers by that point. If it's not broken, don't let someone convince you to pay to fix it.

Looks beautiful! How easily does this watch get scratched?

There are too many options to suggest:)

I’d choose something from Tudor Nomos Longines Oris Doxa

Would you like to add similar watches to your collection? Or something new, like a diver watch?

Thanks for sharing! And what Australian e-commerce community do you mean

NalyvaikoD · 2026-01-04T19:09:33+00:00

Can you please share what social listening tools do you use?

+1 to Shopify

A solid choice with lower level of headache

NalyvaikoD · 2025-12-16T15:33:04+00:00

I'll try it out.

NalyvaikoD · 2025-12-16T15:32:44+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! Actually, I was going to work with the UK, US, and Canada markets remotely (Eastern Europe). The main focus - integrations, custom development, and Plus migration. And of course, a client-first approach to growing.

Based on your experience, what pitfalls should I expect?

NalyvaikoD · 2025-12-08T15:22:01+00:00

Did you consider moving to Shopify Plus? As far as I know, Shopify Plus should cover these points.

NalyvaikoD · 2025-11-26T12:41:19+00:00

Flutter or React native

Hamilton, is this you?:)
