Question 1

Do I need to know how to code?

Accepted Answer

No. You describe your app in plain language — Shopivibe generates all the code. Backend, frontend, billing, database. Everything.

Question 2

Do I own the code?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 100%. Every app gets a full GitHub repository with standard open-source tech. No proprietary SDK. You can export, host, or modify it anywhere.

Question 3

How fast can I launch?

Accepted Answer

Most apps go live in under 5 minutes. Describe your app, AI builds it, deploy with one click.

Question 4

Can I sell the app I build?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You own the code, so you can sell the app, offer it to clients, or publish it on the Shopify App Store.

Question 5

How is this different from Recharge or other SaaS tools?

Accepted Answer

With Recharge you rent a subscription feature for $99–499/month forever. With Shopivibe you build your own subscription app and own it. No recurring fees per feature.

Question 6

What happens if I need to change something after launch?

Accepted Answer

You own the GitHub repo, so you or any developer can modify the code directly. Or describe the change to Shopivibe and we'll update it for you.

Question 7

Is my store data safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shopivibe apps use Shopify's official OAuth and never store customer credentials. Your data stays in your own database — we don't have access to it.

Question 8

Do I have to replace all my apps at once?

Accepted Answer

No — almost nobody does. The typical path: replace your most expensive SaaS first (often Recharge at $99/mo), see the savings, then add one layer per month. Six months in, most merchants have dropped their entire app stack.

Question 9

Can I add more features later?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this is the whole point. Start with one layer (subscriptions to replace Recharge), then add another the next month (loyalty to drop Smile.io). New layers get added to your existing app through chat — you never start over.
