Please help me with my App
Hi everyone, my name is Yauheni, and I am the maker of a Shopify pre-order app called K1 PreOrder. Let me be honest with you from the start. I have poured my heart into this app. So many late nights. So much code rewriten, then thrown away. So many features I built and later deleted, because deep down I knew they were not good enough yet. I only push myself this hard for things I truly believe in.
I started building K1 PreOrder because, let's be honest, running pre-orders on Shopify is still a real headache. The basics are fine, but the moment you want to take a deposit, let people pay later, or break the cost into a small amount now and the rest closer to launch, things can get messy fast. There are a lot of apps on the market already, and plenty of them are genuinely great. But as a founder, I really wanted to dig into the small things, the little details that could work smoother and feel easier to use, and I put a lot of effort into getting them right.
So I am not here to sell you anything. I am simply here to ask for your help.
If you have ever used (or even just tried) a pre-order app, or played with deposits, partial payments, or any pay-later option on Shopify, I would love to hear your honest opinion:
- What is missing in the pre-order apps you have tried?
- When you collect a deposit or let a customer pay in parts, what drives you up the wall?
- If you could wave a magic wand, what is the one thing these tools would finally do?
Even a single sentence would mean the world to me — honestly, it helps alot. Your real experience as a store owner is worth far more than anything I can dream up alone in front of my screen. Please do not hold back: the good, the bad, and the ugly all help me build something you will actually love. Drop a comment below and tell me what is on your mind. I read every single one, and I reply.
Thanks in advance, guys.
P.S. I will also keep this thread alive by posting updates here every time we ship something new to K1 PreOrder, so stick around if you want to see where this goes.
