Find the Shopify stores that are actually growing.

Senders searches Shopify merchants by your ICP, reads each storefront, and keeps only the live, growing stores. You set the bar.

Plan and pull the list free (100 credits a month). Sending starts on Single at $50/mo, from your own mailbox. Nothing sends until you approve.

The situation

Why it works.

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.

Who brings what

Senders brings the data and the sending. You bring what you know.

Senders brings

  • Data from 80+ sources: Shopify merchants by vertical, size, and region, and the buyer to reach at each.
  • Signal: Each storefront's public product feed, read for fresh updates and scored on growth.
  • Verification: Every address checked before anything sends.
  • Sending: From your own mailbox, after you approve each note.

You bring

  • The bar for alive: no store that hasn't shipped a product in two years.
  • Your ideal customer: the vertical, size, and region that fit.
  • Which stores make the final list.
Step by step

How it runs.

Senders does the legwork at every step. The calls stay yours.

  1. Senders

    Searches Shopify merchants by your ICP (vertical, size, region) and pulls a working shortlist. The search is free.

    Your call

    “Make sure they're actually alive. I won't email a store that hasn't shipped a product in two years.”

  2. Senders

    Reads each storefront's public product feed, drops the stale ones, and scores what's left on growth signals.

    Your call

    “Rank them, and give me the one reason each made the cut.”

  3. Senders

    Returns a tiered list, live and growing stores first, each with the buyer to reach and why it fits, and drafts the notes for your approval.

    Your call

    “Start with the top tier. I'll read every note first.”

What just happened.

A database can list stores. Only reading the storefront tells you which are alive. Senders did the reading, you set the bar, and the dead shops never made your list.

See it as a Claude conversation

An illustrative exchange: this play in Claude with Senders connected over MCP. ChatGPT works the same way.

  1. You

    I make a Shopify app. Find active, growing DTC stores that fit, and skip anything that looks dead.

  2. Claude, using Senders

    Searches Shopify merchants by your ICP (vertical, size, region) for free and pulls a working shortlist.

  3. You

    Good. Now make sure they're actually alive. I won't email a store that hasn't shipped a product in two years.

  4. Claude, using Senders

    Reads each storefront's public product feed. Fresh updates mean it's active; stale ones get dropped. Then it scores what's left by growth signals.

  5. You

    Rank them, and give me the one reason each made the cut.

  6. Claude, using Senders

    Returns a tiered list, live and growing stores first, each with the buyer to reach and why it fits.

  7. You

    Start with the top tier. I'll read every note first.

  8. Claude, using Senders

    Drafts a note for each top-tier store and holds them all for your approval.

What lands

The first note.

Short, specific, and honest: a real reason for the email, one true ask, and an easy out. The brackets fill in from what you know and what Senders finds.

To a store that fitsSubject: your 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 Senders actually looked. Not a generic "I came across your site."
