Sample report

What a finished report looks like.

This is a sample. It was written for a made-up product so you can see the format. Usernames are removed. It is not a report for a real customer, and your report is built from your own product details.

Sample product idea: done-for-you Shopify fixes and automation for small merchants (apps, Flow/workflow setup, order/inventory/B2B plumbing). The imagined customer sells setup/automation help to small Shopify stores. Prepared 2026-11-10 (ET). Nothing in this report has been posted or sent.

Summary (read this first)

  • Posts in this sample: 15, all rated 4/5 or better (3 at 5, 12 at 4). All 15 have exact timestamps.
  • Date range (exact-dated posts): 2026-08-17 to 2026-11-09, all within the last 90 days (cutoff 2026-08-12).
  • Platform mix: Shopify Community (a public Discourse forum) 15. This is a one-community sample. A real report draws on whichever public forums and communities fit your buyers.
  • Not counted as qualifying (see 'Near misses'): 7 more posts scored 3 or below.

Honest caveats

  • Niche breadth matters. The first idea tried (Shopify reorder/PO apps for small stores, a hot niche after Stocky shut down on Aug 31, 2026) gave only a handful (roughly 5 to 6) of genuine merchant asks in 90 days. The rest of the 'asks' were app vendors posting disclosed pitches, vendor 'research' threads, or replies seeded by vendors. A sample for a narrow product would have failed the 15-post bar. The broader idea above passes it. That is why a refund rule exists.
  • Identity can't be proven. Judged on content and thread behavior only. Several qualifying OPs never replied to answers (flagged on each entry); treat those as lower confidence.
  • Crowding. Most threads already hold vendor replies. The draft replies are written to be useful on their own and to disclose the sender's connection. A customer should reply only where their answer adds something.

How posts are scored

5 = exact ask by a store operator, 30 days old or less, reply welcome and not yet well answered. 4 = explicit ask or concrete pain, 90 days or less, reply welcome. 3 = implicit pain, 90–180 days, resolved, or reply unwelcome. 2 = adjacent. 1 = vendor, bot, or irrelevant.

The posts

1. [5/5] Is there a way to auto-fight chargebacks?

  • Link: https://community.shopify.com/t/is-there-a-way-to-auto-fight-chargebacks/712425/1
  • Platform: Shopify Community
  • Date: 2026-11-09 (1 day old on 2026-11-10); 12 posts in thread
  • Quote (word for word): “chargebacks have been pilling up lately and i’m spending hours every week on them, for pulling tracking, screenshots, policy pages for every single case. is there a way handle this automatically?”
  • Fit score: 5/5. Store operator, 1 day old, explicit ask to automate a recurring chore. An answer exists, but the OP's own follow-up shows an unmet gap (PayPal/Stripe, mostly 'not received' cases).

  • Draft reply (for the customer to review and post from their own account):

    Hours a week on evidence usually means the same bundle gets rebuilt every time. For 'not received' disputes that bundle is typically carrier tracking showing delivery, the delivery address vs. the order, and your shipping policy. That part is repeatable, so a workflow that gathers it per case and leaves you to review and submit yourself avoids the 'submits junk' risk you mentioned. PayPal and Stripe each accept evidence differently, so check what each one wants first. Disclosure: I do paid Shopify setup and automation work ([business name]), so I'm biased. Happy to sketch what a review-before-submit evidence pack would look like for your setup, no strings.

2. [5/5] Send orders to another shopify store automaticly?

  • Link: https://community.shopify.com/t/send-orders-to-another-shopify-store-automaticly/706448/1
  • Platform: Shopify Community
  • Date: 2026-10-29 (12 days old on 2026-11-10); 5 posts in thread
  • Quote (word for word): “We have 2 shopify stores, 1 b2c and b2b We are finding we are having to restock from our b2b store regularly, as we have a retail and only b2c, is there a way to connect the 2 stores? so if we sell something online and our warehouse has it in stock, they can dispatch and the stock is deducted off that stock rather than ours?”
  • Fit score: 5/5. Store operator, 12 days old, concrete unmet workflow (stock shared between a B2C and a B2B store); the replies so far are a generic 'use a sync app or custom integration' (Oct 29) and a suggestion to merge the stores (Nov 5); the OP has not replied.
  • Flag: Two replies exist ([user] Oct 29, [user] Nov 5). Add value by asking the constraint questions.

  • Draft reply (for the customer to review and post from their own account):

    There are really three routes: (1) one store with B2B/wholesale features so both audiences share one inventory, (2) keep two stores and sync stock levels between them with an app, or (3) keep two stores and have B2C orders create a fulfillment request at the warehouse. Which fits depends on who owns the stock, how many SKUs, and whether the warehouse needs to see B2C orders. Could you share those three details? Disclosure: I do paid Shopify setup and automation work ([business name]), so I'm biased. Happy to say which route I'd test first.

3. [5/5] Delay in-stock email's based on inventory?

  • Link: https://community.shopify.com/t/delay-in-stock-emails-based-on-inventory/701808/1
  • Platform: Shopify Community
  • Date: 2026-10-21 (20 days old on 2026-11-10); 15 posts in thread
  • Quote (word for word): “Is there a Shopify-compatible app that allows my customers to sign up for re-stock notifications, and allows us to send out re-stock email notifications to my customers, but only based on available inventory? I.E. if I add 8 items back to stock then the first 8 customers on the notify list get emails?”
  • Fit score: 5/5. Store operator, 20 days old, exact ask for a specific app behavior ('only based on available inventory'); OP replied again asking how to build it, so no answer has landed yet.

  • Draft reply (for the customer to review and post from their own account):

    Some restock apps notify the whole list at once, so the first thing to ask any app's support is whether it can cap notifications to the quantity you add (or send in batches, oldest sign-up first). If none can, it's a small custom job: a sign-up list with timestamps plus a rule that emails the first N when stock changes. For 8 units and a short list you could even do it by hand at first. Disclosure: I do paid Shopify setup and automation work ([business name]), so I'm biased. If you tell me which app you're on, I can say which route is likely, free.

4. [4/5] Shopify Bundles App

  • Link: https://community.shopify.com/t/shopify-bundles-app/711747/1
  • Platform: Shopify Community
  • Date: 2026-11-08 (2 days old on 2026-11-10); 8 posts in thread
  • Quote (word for word): “if they purchase 2 of this product, I want it to display and charge them $60 (saving $10). This appears to show correctly on the bundle product when I look at it. But when I select any two sizes or colours, at checkout of this product, it is charging $60 per product (double!).”
  • Fit score: 4/5. Store operator, 2 days old, concrete defect ('charges $60 per product (double!)') with screenshots and a plain ask for help.
  • Flag: Product-setup help, not strictly automation. Fits if the customer sells setup fixes.

  • Draft reply (for the customer to review and post from their own account):

    That pattern usually means the $60 is being applied per unit instead of as a total for the pair, and variant choices complicate it. A quantity-break discount ('2 for $60') applied at the cart level sidesteps the problem, because the products keep their normal prices and the discount does the math. Disclosure: I do paid Shopify setup and automation work ([business name]), so I'm biased. If you share the checkout screenshot's cart contents I can say which setting is doubling it.

5. [4/5] Digital download with shipping confirmation

  • Link: https://community.shopify.com/t/digital-download-with-shipping-confirmation/709826/1
  • Platform: Shopify Community
  • Date: 2026-11-04 (6 days old on 2026-11-10); 5 posts in thread
  • Quote (word for word): “We have had 6 physical products up for pre-sale. Now they are released I want to send a digital download with the shipping notification.”
  • Fit score: 4/5. Store operator, 6 days old, concrete how-to/automation need (send a download link with the shipping notification) with a workaround they want sanity-checked.
  • Flag: Small ticket; reply welcome since the OP asked for advice.

  • Draft reply (for the customer to review and post from their own account):

    Your plan can work for a short run, but editing the notification template means the link goes to every shipping email until you remove it, including other products, so remove it right after. A cleaner option is to attach the file to those 6 products as a download and have a rule that only sends the link for orders containing them. Disclosure: I do paid Shopify setup and automation work ([business name]), so I'm biased. Happy to set that up for you if you'd rather not touch the template.

6. [4/5] I am looking for a app that can enhance my AI visiblity and tracker AI traffic sources

  • Link: https://community.shopify.com/t/i-am-looking-for-a-app-that-can-enhance-my-ai-visiblity-and-tracker-ai-traffic-sources/708113/1
  • Platform: Shopify Community
  • Date: 2026-11-01 (9 days old on 2026-11-10); 11 posts in thread
  • Quote (word for word): “I am looking for an app that can enhance my AI visibility and track AI traffic sources. Is there any app?”
  • Fit score: 4/5. Store operator (apparently), 9 days old, explicit ask for an app, but vague. Only 4/5 on explicitness and recency.
  • Flag: Vague ask; reply only if the customer sells AI-visibility help.

  • Draft reply (for the customer to review and post from their own account):

    Two different jobs: tracking (seeing AI-referred visits in your analytics, which is mostly traffic-source reporting) and visibility (making product data and pages readable to AI shopping tools). For tracking, check your analytics for referrals first before paying for anything. For visibility, structured product data and accurate availability matter most. Disclosure: I do paid Shopify setup and automation work ([business name]), so I'm biased. Happy to point you to what I'd test first for free.

7. [4/5] Best order form app for customizations

  • Link: https://community.shopify.com/t/best-order-form-app-for-customizations/699079/1
  • Platform: Shopify Community
  • Date: 2026-10-16 (25 days old on 2026-11-10); 10 posts in thread
  • Quote (word for word): “I recently had a developer do our order form and am not too happy with how it turned out. i was previously using infinite options before that. i am now working with infinite options again to see if I can make something work better than what I originally had but wanting to see if anyone has any better options.”
  • Fit score: 4/5. Store operator, 25 days old, unhappy with a developer-built order form and asking for better options; states what is broken (images not on orders, misleading price display).
  • Flag: OP already took a private message from one responder (reply #6).

  • Draft reply (for the customer to review and post from their own account):

    Two things in your description are separate fixes: the form layout (categories at the top that customers don't realise are clickable, the '+220' price display) and the back-end problem (images not showing on orders). The second one is the more urgent, because it affects fulfillment. Before choosing another app, I'd place a test order and check that every selected option and uploaded image lands on the order line. Disclosure: I do paid Shopify setup and automation work ([business name]), so I'm biased. If you want a second pair of eyes on the order data first, I'm glad to look.

8. [4/5] Custom Automated Emails for Request A Quote

  • Link: https://community.shopify.com/t/custom-automated-emails-for-request-a-quote/692874/1
  • Platform: Shopify Community
  • Date: 2026-10-06 (35 days old on 2026-11-10); 12 posts in thread
  • Quote (word for word): “Looking for app or freelancer: automatic “we received your quote request” email on our quote form”
  • Fit score: 4/5. Store operator, 35 days old, explicit 'looking for app or freelancer' with constraints and a request for rates. Crowded: at least four freelancers/apps replied with prices.
  • Flag: Crowded; low marginal value unless the customer's price/turnaround is distinctive.

  • Draft reply (for the customer to review and post from their own account):

    Since the theme's native contact form only notifies you, the cleanest approach is to leave the form alone and add the acknowledgement on top, either through a form app with an auto-reply or a small workflow that reads the notification and replies from your Microsoft 365 address. Test on a draft theme, and have SPF/DKIM/DMARC checked before sending from your domain so the replies don't land in spam. Disclosure: I do paid Shopify setup and automation work ([business name]), so I'm biased. Several people have already quoted, so I'll only add: ask each for what the reply does on duplicate submissions.

9. [4/5] Looking for a delivery and pickup app that supports editable orders and reliable notifications

  • Link: https://community.shopify.com/t/looking-for-a-delivery-and-pickup-app-that-supports-editable-orders-and-reliable-notifications/691546/1
  • Platform: Shopify Community
  • Date: 2026-10-03 (38 days old on 2026-11-10); 11 posts in thread
  • Quote (word for word): “Which apps have merchants successfully used for this complete workflow? We’re open to using regular shipping rates for local delivery so orders remain editable.”
  • Fit score: 4/5. Store operator, 38 days old, detailed spec for a local delivery/pickup setup after trying two apps; OP engaged in thread (stated gaps in Pickeasy). Already has several answers, one is a paid custom-build offer.
  • Flag: Crowded: [user] has already offered a paid custom add-on. Reply only if you have a distinct angle.

  • Draft reply (for the customer to review and post from their own account):

    I'd split this into two jobs: (a) the checkout slot rule (block checkout without a slot) and (b) the status flow (Ready for pickup, Picked up, Out for delivery, Delivered, Missed). Job (a) is usually best left to a delivery/pickup app. Job (b) is where you hit the 'on its way' email, because marking complete also fulfills the order. A small workflow that sends your own status emails and fulfills with the customer notification turned off could close that gap. Which of the five emails matter most to you? Disclosure: I do paid Shopify setup and automation work ([business name]), so I'm biased.

10. [4/5] Variant-level inbound stock visibility in the PO form

  • Link: https://community.shopify.com/t/variant-level-inbound-stock-visibility-in-the-po-form/677375/1
  • Platform: Shopify Community
  • Date: 2026-09-07 (64 days old on 2026-11-10); 17 posts in thread
  • Quote (word for word): “When building a PO, we need to see current on-hand, units already on order, and units not yet received — at variant level. Without this, replenishment decisions are slower and risk over-ordering.”
  • Fit score: 4/5. Store operator (lingerie/swimwear), 64 days old, explicit statement of a missing capability ('struggling without stocky'). OP did not reply; many vendor answers.
  • Flag: OP silent; vendors have replied. Use only if the customer sells an inventory/PO tool.

  • Draft reply (for the customer to review and post from their own account):

    Until a tool shows all three in one place, a workable stopgap is a saved Inventory view filtered to your supplier with Available, Committed and Incoming columns, sorted lowest Available first, and open it beside the PO. It isn't inside the PO form, but it stops you ordering twice for a variant that already has stock on the way. Disclosure: I do paid Shopify setup and automation work ([business name]), so I'm biased. If you tell me how many variants you reorder per month, I can say whether a sheet or a small tool makes more sense.

11. [4/5] AI tool recommendations for running store?

  • Link: https://community.shopify.com/t/ai-tool-recommendations-for-running-store/676450/1
  • Platform: Shopify Community
  • Date: 2026-09-04 (67 days old on 2026-11-10); 13 posts in thread
  • Quote (word for word): “At the same time, writing compliant product copy and answering repetitive support tickets takes up most of my day.”
  • Fit score: 4/5. Supplement-store operator, 67 days old, asks which 2-3 AI tools to rely on for support tickets and compliant product copy; explicit buyer intent.
  • Flag: Compliance angle: draft must not make health claims.

  • Draft reply (for the customer to review and post from their own account):

    For a supplements store I'd keep the two jobs separate: a support assistant limited to answers from your own approved FAQ (ingredients, certifications, dosage) and a copy workflow where AI drafts but a person approves claims, since compliance is the risk. Start with whichever eats more hours. Disclosure: I do paid Shopify setup and automation work ([business name]), so I'm biased. Happy to share how I'd set the approval step up.

12. [4/5] How do people decide how much inventory to buy?

  • Link: https://community.shopify.com/t/how-do-people-decide-how-much-inventory-to-buy/673970/1
  • Platform: Shopify Community
  • Date: 2026-08-29 (73 days old on 2026-11-10); 24 posts in thread
  • Quote (word for word): “I’m currently running a store and I’m struggling to figure out when to reorder popular items before they run out. Guessing and using moving averages doesn’t seem to work for me. What do people actually do?”
  • Fit score: 4/5. Likely store operator, 73 days old, explicit struggle with reorder timing and open question; OP never replied (could be research-seeding), so confidence is lower.
  • Flag: OP silent. Marked lower confidence.

  • Draft reply (for the customer to review and post from their own account):

    Moving averages fail on popular items because stockout days count as zero sales and drag the average down. Divide sales by days actually in stock, then reorder when stock on hand plus what's already on order drops below daily sales times (supplier lead time + a safety buffer). Use the supplier's real delivery time, not the quoted one. Disclosure: I do paid Shopify setup and automation work ([business name]), so I'm biased. Happy to turn this into a simple sheet or alert for your store.

13. [4/5] Best Bundling Apps?

  • Link: https://community.shopify.com/t/best-bundling-apps/672561/1
  • Platform: Shopify Community
  • Date: 2026-08-25 (77 days old on 2026-11-10); 18 posts in thread
  • Quote (word for word): “I currently use the basic bundles app made by shopify. I have two main concerns with it. First, it seems to track separate inventory from my main inventory. Second, it does not automatically apply the bundle in cart.”
  • Fit score: 4/5. Store operator, 77 days old, two concrete complaints about Shopify's bundles (separate inventory, not auto-applied in cart) and asks for alternatives. OP is silent after the post.
  • Flag: Thread is vendor-heavy and OP is silent; lower confidence.

  • Draft reply (for the customer to review and post from their own account):

    Both of those are about how the bundle is built, not just which app. For the inventory concern, check whether a candidate app deducts from the component products' stock or keeps its own count. For auto-apply, ask whether it works as a discount that triggers in the cart or only as a separate bundle product page. A short test cart on both points will tell you quickly. Disclosure: I do paid Shopify setup and automation work ([business name]), so I'm biased. If you share how many bundles you run, I can suggest what to test first.

14. [4/5] Best inventory sync tool for Shopify?

  • Link: https://community.shopify.com/t/best-inventory-sync-tool-for-shopify/672498/1
  • Platform: Shopify Community
  • Date: 2026-08-25 (77 days old on 2026-11-10); 27 posts in thread
  • Quote (word for word): “I’m looking for a good inventory sync app for Shopify. We have a lot of products and updating inventory manually across stores is becoming difficult.”
  • Fit score: 4/5. Store operator with many products and multiple stores, 77 days old, plain ask for a reliable inventory sync app. OP never replied; vendor-heavy thread.
  • Flag: OP silent, thread vendor-heavy; lower confidence.

  • Draft reply (for the customer to review and post from their own account):

    A useful way to shortlist is to decide direction and latency first: one-way (a main store feeding others) or two-way, and how many seconds of delay you can tolerate before overselling. Then test each app on 5 real SKUs with a deliberate sale on each side. Disclosure: I do paid Shopify setup and automation work ([business name]), so I'm biased. If you share how many stores and SKUs, I can tell you which type of tool fits.

15. [4/5] B2B mods needed

  • Link: https://community.shopify.com/t/b2b-mods-needed/667542/1
  • Platform: Shopify Community
  • Date: 2026-08-17 (85 days old on 2026-11-10); 4 posts in thread
  • Quote (word for word): “I am currently setting up B2B Markets and need the ability to support our three-tier wholesale pricing program .”
  • Fit score: 4/5. Store operator (woodworking manufacturer), 85 days old, specific unmet B2B pricing structure (same catalog across three discount tiers). Borderline freshness.
  • Flag: 85 days old: at the edge of the freshness window.

  • Draft reply (for the customer to review and post from their own account):

    The thing to check is whether you need three Markets or one Market with three company-level price setups, because the one-Market-per-product limit you describe is what's blocking you. Assigning each dealer company to a tier-specific catalog or price list might get you the same result, but I'd verify that in your own admin. I'd confirm on a test company before rebuilding anything. Disclosure: I do paid Shopify setup and automation work ([business name]), so I'm biased. Happy to look at your three tiers and tell you whether it's possible natively or needs an app.

Near misses (scored 3 or below, not counted)

Excluded on purpose (examples of what a naive search returns)

  • Vendor threads and replies: disclosed app pitches, 'I built…' replies and promotional follow-ups. Example: the Stocky-replacement threads 637085 and 646221 contain more than 20 disclosed vendor replies from Replenly, Binly, Stockroom, RestockIQ, Ballast, Skubase, Provido, SteadyShelf and others.
  • Vendor 'research' threads that look like asks: e.g., 696957 (3PL invoice reconciliation, OP says 'I'm a developer researching…'), 683136 (supplier file checker, OP prices a $19 tool), 713698 and 713019 (vendor-authored).
  • Threads from before the 90-day cutoff, such as the original Stocky-replacement asks from June and July 2026 (OPs [user] Jun 15; [user] Jul 7).
  • Private groups, DMs and closed communities were not touched.

How this sample was built

  • Source: Shopify Community's public Discourse JSON (topic pages and public search, about 75 topics read fully or in part from roughly 300 candidate titles). Requests were few and paced; no logins, no posting.
  • Yield: about 15 qualifying posts from roughly 300 candidate titles (about 5%). That ratio is why some narrow niches can't reach 15 qualified posts.
