Find the Shopify stores that are actually growing.

Point your AI at the merchants who fit — then have it read each storefront and keep only the live, growing stores. You skip the dead shops before you ever write an email.

The situation

The merchants who'd love your app are the ones actively building — shipping new products, running promos, hiring. But a raw store list is full of dead and dormant shops, and every email to one of those burns credibility. The trick is telling the living from the abandoned before you reach out.

How it goes

What it looks like in the chat.

You bring the judgment only you have; your AI does the legwork. An illustrative exchange:

In conversation
YouI make a Shopify app. Find active, growing DTC stores that fit — and skip anything that looks dead.
Your AISearches the Shopify merchant universe by your ICP — vertical, size, region — for free, and pulls a working shortlist.
YouGood. Now make sure they're actually alive — I won't email a store that hasn't shipped a product in two years.
Your AIReads each storefront's public product feed — fresh updates mean it's active, stale ones get dropped — then scores what's left by growth signals.
YouRank them, and give me the one reason each made the cut.
Your AIReturns a tiered list — live, growing stores first — each with the buyer to reach and why it fits.
What just happened. A database can list stores; only reading the storefront tells you which are alive. Your AI did the reading, you set the bar, and the dead shops never made your list.
What good looks like

The note your AI drafted.

Short, specific, and honest — a real reason for the email, one true ask, and an easy out. Placeholders fill in from what you and your AI already found.

To a fitting store
Subjectyour store + [app]

Hi [name] — I build [a Shopify app] that [what it does], and [their store] is exactly the kind of shop it's made for — [something specific and current you noticed]. Thought it was worth a hello. Want a 2-minute look at how it'd fit [their store]? — [Name]

Kept honest. The note points to something real and current on their store — because your AI actually looked — not a generic "I came across your site."

Find active, growing Shopify DTC stores that fit my ideal customer — and read each storefront to drop the dead or dormant ones. I'll tell you which look right so we tighten the list.”
