Hi everyone,

I’m Ruchita, a Shopify app developer (Laravel + React).
I’m currently exploring common challenges merchants face with order processing, shipping, and fulfillment workflows.

I’d love to hear from you:

  • What’s one part of running your store that feels more manual, confusing, or frustrating than it should be when it comes to payments, shipping, or fulfillment?

Looking forward to joining discussions and learning from your experiences!

Thanks a lot,
