Any issues in Shopify Ads? Spike in clicks.

Today, I saw one very strange issue and feels something fishy or some major bug in Shopify Ads.

I am running ads with bid amount very low, so that I was getting 5-6 clicks in a day. However, all of a sudden the clicks spiked yesterday and today. Yesterday, on just one category specific ad, I got 26 clicks where were also in the last leg i.e. between 22:00 - 23:99UTC. And today where day is not completed yet, I already got 12 clicks within single category and no installs at all, whereas I've almost 25% conversion.

Problematic thing is Google Analytics data was matching exactly till date and for these clicks no data is shown in Google Analytics. In Google Analytics, it just shows 2 page views for today that too direct visits not the referral.

Is anybody else facing the issue? I am lucky that I had click bid set to very low, else Shopify would have made me bankrupt. Also, my category ad budget is set to $10, so how come yesterday it had spent 4 times.

Built a product recommendation quiz app for shopify

This is my first Shopify app. I have been building it for a while and Shopify just approved it on the App Store, so I thought I would share the approach behind it and get some feedback.

How it works:
Instead of using a traditional decision tree for quizzes, every answer assigns votes to products. Votes can be assigned by tag, by collection, or to individual products. As the user answers more questions, products accumulate votes across all responses.

At the end, products are ranked by total votes and the highest scoring ones are shown as recommendations.

This means the output is emergent rather than pre-mapped. A shopper who selects “a” and “b” will naturally get a different ranked set of products than someone who selects only “b”, without needing to manually define every possible path combination.

It avoids the explosion of branches you get with decision trees, but still keeps recommendations explainable since every answer contributes directly to scoring.

The app is called ShopperQuiz.

Happy to share more details about the implementation if anyone is interested.

Launched a Shopify product options app with the goal of keeping things user-friendly

Hey everyone,

New to Shopify space. Recently we launched a Shopify app called WowOptions and currently trying to get feedback from you guys before expanding things further.

The app is focused on offering product customization and personalization features through addon fields.

At the moment it supports:

  • 25+ custom product options such as text fields, dropdowns, checkboxes, swatches, etc
  • image/file uploads
  • add-on pricing for custom options
  • conditional logic
  • reusable option sets across products
  • templates to easily get started

Here’s the link if you want to try and give a feedback: https://apps.shopify.com/product-options-app 

Built this mainly after seeing how fast Shopify variants become messy once stores start offering custom products.

Would genuinely love to know what features you’d usually expect from a product options app. We are trying to keep things simple and intuitive for users.

YouTube videos for Shopify apps: the good, the bad and the ugly [Discussion]

I'm a Shopify app developer and have a plan on releasing some YouTube videos regarding each app topic — but also I'd love to hear from people who've actually done it.

  1. Do you get some engagement? For those who've tried it: did YouTube drive meaningful installs, or was it more of a brand/trust play that paid off indirectly?

  2. What content did work? What titles were you trying? Curious what flopped too!
    Basically I am thinking of creating an app topic that is being searched by broader community, like for example: How can I create product bundles on my product pages Shopify? (not a bundles app, haha )

  3. Tools & workflow? What are you using for scripting, recording, editing, thumbnails?
    Did you create the video then add a voiceover or were you doing it simultaneously and talking on the go?

Today spent around 4 hours creating my first vid and if was the first time doing a YouTube video, so took the time to install the apps for editing, screen recording & etc.

Video length currently is 1:45 minutes and took a lot of time and still the quality is mediocore at best. YouTube is really a great skill to know so would love to hear some tips, experience and knowledge regarding this!

Thanks in advance 🙏

Are there any communities where you can get beta testers for your App?

I just got my app called stakeout approved and would like to find some Shopify Store Owners that would like to test my app out for free. Does anyone know if there are any communities or ways to find such shop owners?

My app is used for competitor price monitoring and its hard finding your first few users that will test the app and give an honest review.

Would love to know how other people tackled this problem.

How to optimize your shopify app store listing to get more installs

You probably put a lot of time into your Shopify app store listing and then forgot about it. But what you probably don't realize is that you are missing out on lots of organic installs because your listing is not optimized for people to reach your app store listing.

If you can't answer these questions, you are missing out on lots and lots of installs:

  1. What keywords do you really rank for?

  2. Who are your competitors and what keywords do they rank for?

  3. When you update your listing, what effect did it have on your rankings?

  4. When you receive a review what effect does it have on your rankings?

Most of you are flying blind, but the one's that aren't, are the apps that are killing it. If you think they're just spending lots of money on influencers, referral programs, ads or if you think they're just lucky you would be very wrong. Most of their installs are coming organically, $0 CAC (Means they pay nothing for the install).

You might be thinking, oh come on, the shopify app market place doesn't even get that much traffic. Well did you know that most traffic flows from google search first? Flow looks like this shopify store owner does a google search -> shopify app listing -> app install

Imagine if you knew which keywords to stick into your listing, you could capture those searches. No it's not as easy as using some generic SEO tool or using google keywords. Don't get ahead of yourself.

This is why I built AppJubilee. It's a Shopify App Store intelligence platform that gives you a real view into all of this. It tracks where you actually rank across 1,200+ highly relevant keywords daily, auto-detects your real competitors based on shared keywords (no manual "list your competitors" form to fill out). You can also add your own keywords or connect GA4 to further enhance your keyword universe.

It shows you the exact keywords those competitors rank for that you don't, and ties every listing change you make to the ranking shift that followed it. So you finally know if your last edit actually worked, or didn't. And a lot more, like competitor ad tracking, review impact, competitor alerts, app watch alerts, listing change ranking impact, etc, etc, etc

It's as easy as signing up, selecting your shopify app and done. No need to manually add keywords or wait days for data to be collected. You'll have actionable insights on how to improve your app listing within a few minutes. Its like someone turned the lights on and you can finally see!

AppJubilee is in beta right now so expect a bug or two.. but we're quick to fix if you actually report it! Plans start at $149/mo

If you have any questions you can reach out at support@appjubilee.io
