Hey everyone I’m exploring a Shopify app idea that helps small brands collaborate by recommending complementary products from other independent shops (e.g., “Pairs well with…” widgets). The goal is to boost discovery and send warm, relevant traffic between aligned stores without feeling salesy or losing customers.

I’m looking to chat with 2–3 Shopify merchants to understand what would make an app like this actually valuable, easy to trust, and worth using. Not selling anything, just user research.

If you’re open to a quick 10-minute interview or want early input into the direction, I’d really appreciate it!
