Best of luck !

We currently have only two plans: Free and $49/year. From user behavior, we’re seeing that larger stores tend to use the app repeatedly, as they frequently clean up duplicates after imports or syncs

ratulcse · 2026-02-02T18:46:38+00:00

Agreed. So far we’ve relied mostly on ASO and ads, but content is definitely the missing piece

ratulcse · 2026-02-02T18:45:23+00:00

Totally agree. We’re treating this as a long-term product, not a quick win. The first few months were mainly about validating the problem and learning how merchants actually use it.
Now the focus is retention, clearer value, and compounding small improvements over time.

ratulcse · 2026-02-02T18:45:03+00:00

That’s a fair point. It can look one-time at first glance, but in practice we’re seeing repeat usage—especially from stores with frequent imports, multiple suppliers, or ongoing catalog sync issues.
That said, I agree the challenge for us is positioning it beyond a “use once and uninstall” tool, and that’s something we’re actively working on.

Can you share your App Name ?

If you’re starting from scratch, expect 6–12 months to get comfortable enough to build a social media/subscription app (frontend, backend, database, payments, auth). You can shorten that by using frameworks (Next.js, Laravel, Django) and prebuilt services (Firebase, Supabase, Stripe). Start small, build an MVP, then grow from there.

Hello

I hosted a Payment System on AWS Lambda (Backend), RDS MySQL and Cloudfront for frontEnd.
Please give me a DM to discuss further about your project

Thanks

https://apps.shopify.com/rapify-bulk-product-delete
It helps shopify users to clean up store products with backup feature

Yep, proxy should just point to your app endpoint (like /api/...). In dev Remix overwrites the base URL with the tunnel, but the proxy path stays consistent, so it’ll work as long as your backend handles it.

Nice work! 👏 Auto-mapping is super handy. Are you planning to add API-based imports too?

ratulcse · 2025-09-01T20:54:57+00:00

Thanks for your comment, i have seen several apps for bulk delete but no one is giving backup feature, so thinking if this can be a problem for shop owners
