Core Capabilities

1. Merchant Reviews & Competitor Churn Leads (record_type: "app_review")

Every review on the Shopify App Store exposes the Merchant Store Brand Name, Country, and Time Spent Using the App. Filtering a competitor's app by 1 and 2 star reviews ordered by newest produces a real-time feed of dissatisfied Shopify merchants actively looking for an alternative.

• Extracted fields: review_id, review_url, app_handle, rating (1–5), published_at, merchant_name, merchant_country, usage_duration, is_archived, is_churn_lead, pain_point_tags, review_text, developer_reply, developer_replied_at.
• Automated Pain-Point Classification (pain_point_tags): Reviews are automatically tagged across 6 actionable complaint categories:
  • pricing_billing (unexpected charges, price hikes, refund disputes)
  • customer_support (unresponsive tickets, unhelpful support)
  • bugs_reliability (broken widgets, crashes, sync failures)
  • performance_speed (storefront lag, Core Web Vitals impact)
  • missing_features (feature limitations, missing integrations)
  • usability_setup (complex onboarding, confusing UI)

2. Full App Profiles, Pricing Plans & Developer Contacts (record_type: "app_profile")

Extract complete metadata for individual apps or entire Shopify App Store categories:

• Metrics & Badges: Aggregate rating, total review count, exact 5-star to 1-star breakdown (rating_breakdown), and built_for_shopify status.
• Pricing Intelligence: Full structured pricing_plans array (name, price_text, monthly_price_usd, features), free_plan_available boolean, and min_paid_price_usd.
• Verified Developer Contacts: Extracts developer_name, developer_partner_url, verified developer_support_email (data-developer-support-email), physical developer_address, external developer_website, privacy_policy_url, faq_url, documentation_url, changelog_url, and launched_date.

3. Category Niche Discovery

Pass any Shopify App Store category handle or URL (e.g., store-design-product-display-sort-and-filter or https://apps.shopify.com/categories/marketing-and-conversion-upsell-and-bundles) in categoryHandlesOrUrls to automatically discover top organic apps in that category (excluding paid search ads), record their category_rank, and extract their profiles and merchant reviews.
