Shopify app · Margin intelligence · Working development build · Working development build · not presented as an App Store release

A Shopify profit-optimisation app built to surface margin leakage and make discount decisions safer and reviewable.

What it is

A Shopify app that connects product cost and variant data to controlled discount decisions, audit history and explicit operational guardrails.

Who it serves

Shopify merchants who need clearer evidence before changing discounts or offers.

The brief

Help a merchant identify profit leakage and test commercial changes without allowing an optimisation idea to become an uncontrolled live discount.

The work

Built Shopify variant synchronisation, explicit cost-data requirements, versioned discount snapshots, draft-to-active states, tenant-scoped audit logs, emergency stop behaviour and pause, resume and rollback controls. The current native path applies exact-variant automatic discounts with stacking disabled; broader exposure controls remain a documented next-stage boundary.

The result

A working Shopify app that demonstrates app architecture, commercial-rule modelling and safety-minded product controls. Marketplace review and commercial outcomes are outside this case study.
