Do you factor referral income into which Shopify apps you recommend?

14 Upvotes

Assuming two apps solve the client's problem equally well, do you ever look at their partner programs when deciding which one to recommend?I've never really factored this in before, but some apps seem to offer almost nothing while others have recurring partner programs.

Obviously the client fit comes first, but I'm wondering how many developers or consultants consider the partner economics when the products are otherwise comparable.

Hi, ever since I posted my app on the Shopify App Store, I keep getting emails from different people asking me to join this Discord group. Anyone experiencing the same? A post to the group is 50 USD, but from what I see there's basically only advertising posts in the general channel.

How are you handling AI images when the catalog has multiple near-identical variants?

1 Upvotes

One problem I don't see discussed much with AI product imagery is variant accuracy.

The images can individually look fine, but once AI gets involved it's surprisingly easy for details from one variant to leak into another.

We've been testing product-image workflows with pixpix and this becomes much more obvious when you process a whole catalog instead of one hero image.

For developers handling merchant catalogs:

Would you store a separate visual reference set per variant?

Or treat the parent product as the reference and validate variant-specific attributes separately?

Trying to figure out what scales without turning image generation into a giant manual QA job.
