THE PROBLEM

You’re not talking to the right Shopify brands - when it matters

Most app teams rely on cold outreach, scattered customer calls, or support tickets to meet potential new customers and understand existing ones.

It’s inconsistent, slow, and rarely tied to real buying moments.

Conversations happen too late, after decisions are already made

You hear from the wrong merchants, or not enough of them

Product decisions are based on assumptions, not patterns

Sales teams struggle to reach qualified, relevant brands

Frequently asked questions

If you don’t find the answer you are looking for, write to us at hello@appstoreresearch.com.

Who is this service for?

This service is for teams building Shopify apps, themes, or services - including UX researchers, designers, developers, marketers, and product managers - who need to conduct user research, validate product ideas, do competitive research, or run sales conversations with real Shopify professionals.

What method of research can I run with participants?

You can connect with participants for one-on-one user research interviews or sales calls, usually conducted over video (e.g., Zoom).

How does it work?

1. You fill out a project intake form with your research details. 2. We review the project to ensure it meets our guidelines. 3. Once approved, we notify our participant panel. 4.Qualified participants apply, you review them, and schedule calls using your booking link. 5. After each completed call, you pay for that session directly on the platform - we automatically handle participant payouts and the rest of the process for you.

How does your pricing work?

You pay two things after a successful call: Participant incentive: the amount you offer participants for their time (minimum $85 for research interviews). Recruitment fee: our fee for sourcing and connecting you with participants.  Recruitment fees vary by plan and participant type (e.g., Shopify Plus vs others). You only pay after a completed call - no charges for no-shows or cancellations.

Are participant incentives included your pricing?

No. Incentives are not included in recruitment fees or subscriptions. You set the incentive amount when creating projects, and you pay it after participants complete calls.

Why should I subscribe?

Subscription plans can reduce recruitment costs, provide more recruitment credits, let you browse and invite participants directly, and give access to advanced features like data filters and ongoing projects.

What if I’m not sure how to run a user research interview?

We offer user interview templates you can use, or you can work with vetted UX research freelancers (additional fees may apply) to help plan and run your sessions.

Can I use this to find beta testers?

Yes - you can recruit participants who fit your target audience. While the service focuses on gathering insights, many researchers build long-term relationships with participants and invite them into later beta testing efforts.

What kind of participants can I recruit here?

Our database includes professionals, brand owners, and team members from Shopify eCommerce brands and agencies. These participants actively use Shopify, Shopify apps, and other B2B tools in their roles.

What if I need a higher volume of participants OR custom recruitment services?

We offer custom plans and higher volumes of participants at adjusted rates. For large monthly needs (e.g., 20–50+ participants), we can work with you on a tailored plan and pricing. Contact us to discuss your specific goals.
