# Shopify App Review Pain Radar

Proof-of-process artifact for a small Shopify app vendor QA/reliability service.

## What this is
This is a public-signal triage format for Shopify app vendors. It reviews public Shopify App Store feedback, groups recurring pain, ranks the risk, and turns the result into a practical support/product/engineering handoff.

It is not a claim that any app is currently broken. It is not private app access, merchant testing, a vulnerability report, or legal advice.

## Sample ranked output

| Priority | Score | App type | Public pain bucket | Suggested packet |
| --- | ---: | --- | --- | --- |
| `hot` | 100 | multi-store sync app | stock-level inconsistency, overselling risk, manual recovery, lost sales | Revenue-risk sync QA packet |
| `hot` | 87 | inventory/product sync app | duplicate products, failed sync recovery, manual cleanup, support routing | Revenue-risk sync QA packet |
| `hot` | 86 | inventory sync app | SKU mismatch, incorrect inventory numbers, multi-location glitches, audit-log expectations | Revenue-risk sync QA packet |
| `warm` | 64 | multi-store inventory/order sync app | visible one-star bucket, multi-store setup friction, support/repro handoff | Revenue-risk sync QA packet |

## What the buyer receives
- Review pain taxonomy.
- Severity and revenue-risk ranking.
- Likely failure classes.
- Repro hypotheses.
- Docs/help-center and support macro gaps.
- QA checklist.
- Team-ready issue handoff plan.

## Input needed
- App listing URL.
- Public review URLs or exported review text.
- Docs/help center links.
- Optional vendor-approved test store access only if the vendor wants a deeper pass.

## Fixed-scope price test
- USD 149 for a public-review-only audit.
- USD 299 for public reviews plus docs/help-center/support gap pass.
- USD 499 for a two-app comparison or vendor-approved test-store repro pass.

## Guardrails
- Do not contact merchants who left negative reviews.
- Do not test apps, stores, APIs, or merchant flows without authorization.
- Do not claim internal diagnosis from public reviews.
- Do not frame public reviews as proof of current production defects.
- Keep outreach narrow, honest, and individually researched.

## Why this exists
Shopify app vendors live or die partly through marketplace trust. A small cluster of public reviews around inventory, sync, checkout, POS, feed, fulfillment, or subscription reliability can point to churn risk, support debt, and install friction. This packet turns that public signal into a clean first-pass action map.
