Hi all 👋, I’m developing an MCP for Facebook/Meta marketers and wanted to get some feedback ahead of time on:
1. Where do you use your MCPs (claude desktop, cursor or otherwise)
2. What your current favourite MCPs are
3. Slickest onboarding experience you’ve seen
4. Anything else!

There are so many support apps these days! Gorgias is obviously number 1, but they only have a 4.1 in the Shopify app store. There are a ton of 5 star apps but hard to know what is legit.
Any thoughts?

👋 Hey all, I'm looking for recs on a best-in-class web design agency.
We’re a Shopify Plus supplement brand with ~30 SKUs, and we’re looking to upgrade the UX and visual polish across the homepage, collection pages, and PDPs. Not a full overhaul, just want the site to feel more modern, intuitive, and conversion-optimized.
Ideally someone who gets CRO, DTC best practices, and moves fast. Open to agencies or killer freelancers - appreciate any intros!

How are you all managing tax-exempt orders on Shopify? People constantly email us for tax refunds? Do you collect exemption certificates? use an app, or have an automated process? also how do you handle filing sales tax for this?

hey everyone! does anyone have a premium version of
?
Hi all! has anyone used Pictory here? Need some urgent help.

Any favorite video testimony collection platforms you've used?
We're finally working on asking our customers to make videos saying nice things about our brand

Quick ask: does anyone here work at Shopify or know someone internally there (ideally on the Shopify Collective, product, or partnerships side)?
I’m building a new business and have some very specific questions. I’ve tried the help desk hasn’t been much help. Would really appreciate an intro if anyone’s got a contact.
Thanks in advance!

<@U086054AKKN> Did you end up hiring one of those Shopify developers? How did they work out? I'm looking for one and would appreciate a referral if you were happy with the work.

Reddit also offers insights about SaaS apps that usually other communities don't

Can anyone recommend an expert that can help audit and improve our meta pixel setup?

Anyone know a Hubspot expert? We recently lost our email marketer and are looking to bridge the gap until we hire her backfill. We probably need a couple hours of someone's time to audit what is currently happening and make some recommendations for easy wins. Let me know who you recommend?

I think for Shopify Plus you could negotiate. As a Shopify Partner I’ve been given multiple deals to pass onto clients to encourage them to come to Plus (free months, free integration and multiple months off Rebuy) so I assume it works the other way if you’re already on it.

Klaviyo, depending on 1) your MRR with them 2) willingness to sign annual, 3) willingness to walk away, you can negotiate quite a bit with (20 30% in savings)

Also interested in this 😄

Hello! I have a shopify store and my 3pl uses ShipHero. I send free samples and B2B orders directly from ShipHero. For accounting and record-keeping purposes, is there another way i could be doing this to better track inventory? Thanks!

I'm looking for a WordPress and WooCommerce expert/consultant. I need someone who can review current WordPress sites and identify opportunities to improve and highlight any compliance issues. Who do you recommend?

Any recommendations on an inventory management tool that plays nicely with Shopify?

anyone have a consumer app they love using and find SEXY??? 🔥

👋 Hey all - quick sanity check from the crew. I’m building a SaaS tool to help simplify media buying. Focus is on campaign optimization + workflow streamlining.
Here’s our current MarTech stack (lean but aiming for depth):
• Framer – landing page
• Tally.so – lead capture forms
• FOMO + – early trust signals
• HubSpot CRM (free) – lead tracking
• MailerLite – onboarding sequences (considering post-MVP)
• Mixpanel – product analytics
• GA4 + GTM + Clarity – site analytics & session replay
• Zapier – glue between tools
• LinkedIn Insight Tag – B2B retargeting
• Buffer – content scheduling (not for listening)
Any red flags or smarter swaps we should be considering? Also open to insights on email/analytics pairings at MVP stage.

can someone explain to me like I’m 5, why ChatGPT (and all ai) can’t exactly replicate a product from an existing image? Wouldn’t that be the easiest part of ai image generation?

Is it possible to add a free gift automatically to people’s orders once they are in the checkout?
We require login and we have a qualifier to unlocked it. We want to avoid giving people the gift multiple times. The only way I can think of to handle this without running into issues is if it could be added during the actual checkout.
(Fulfillment has issues with it adding post purchase with flows)
