How it rates
ValuationFair
Other B2B software businesses we've tracked mostly ask 2.3–5.4x profit, or 1.9–4.6x adjusted for its short history or recent decline; this one asks 3.0x.
Durability
12 years old and still under $100K a year, now slipping, with every sale through Shopify's App Store.
Hands-off
A small team helps run it; the owner's hours and support load aren't stated.
Why it's interesting
- On Shopify since 2014 with Built for Shopify status, a 4.4 rating from 100+ reviews, 350+ paying merchants among 2,600+ active installs, and over $1M in lifetime revenue.
- About 99% of acquisition is organic; the seller says paid App Store ads are virtually untapped and that legacy plans could be repriced.
- Runs at a 65% margin with a small team, and the seller offers transition support.
What to watch
- Revenue is slipping: annual recurring revenue is $80K against $93.9K over the last 12 months, growth is shown as 0%, and last month's $4K profit annualizes to about $48K, which would put the price nearer 3.8x. The seller blames slower new-customer acquisition in 2026.
- Monthly churn of about 8–9%, steady for two years, suggests roughly two-thirds of customers would be gone within a year, so the app relies on a constant flow of new installs.
- It depends entirely on Shopify's App Store and platform rules, and the PHP and Smarty codebase is likely dated enough to need work.
Ask the seller
- Which merchants cancel, by plan, store type and tenure, and what reasons do they give?
- Does this app share code, hosting, support staff or a partner account with the other Shopify apps you are selling?
- How many support hours does the app need each week, and who handles them now?
Growth plays
- Test Shopify App Store search ads on personalisation and engraving terms, a channel the seller says is almost untouched.
- Seek listings or referral deals with print-on-demand fulfilment apps whose merchants need a shopper-facing design tool, the store type that already uses it.
- Move legacy-plan merchants to current pricing in stages, starting with the heaviest users, to lift revenue without new installs.
