Overview
<p><b>Startup description</b></p><p>My product is a SaaS that connects to a Shopify merchant's Google Merchant Center, audits the entire account, and automatically fixes the misrepresentation and policy issues that get stores suspended from Google Shopping. I built it after watching how routinely stores lose their Google Shopping channel to opaque Merchant Center suspensions — and how little tooling existed to catch and fix the problem before it costs them sales. Launched late February 2026; ~310 merchants have signed up, entirely through organic/SEO with zero ad spend.</p><p><b>Key highlights:</b></p><ul>
<li>Revenue: $678.79 to date (~4 months live); current run-rate ~$120 MRR plus one-time $99 sales</li>
<li>Profit: effectively equal to revenue — ~99% margin</li>
<li>Paying users: 17 of ~310 signups</li>
<li>Business margin: ~99% — the only cost is the LLM scan, often under $1/user (varies by model)</li>
<li>CAC: ~$0 (100% organic to date)</li>
<li>Churn / LTV: not yet established — early stage, pricing model recently shifted toward one-time</li>
<li>Operations: fully automated, ~0 hours/week to run</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Team
</b></p><p>Solo founder. I designed, built, and run the entire product. Because the scan-and-fix pipeline and the email flows are automated, day-to-day operation takes effectively no manual work — there's no team or payroll to absorb. Documentation and a handover period are included.</p><p><b>Tech stack</b></p><ul>
<li>
Next.js + TypeScript for the application. </li>
<li>Hosted on Railway with Postgres and background workers. </li>
<li>Store scanning runs through an LLM (the model is swappable, which is what keeps per-user cost under ~$1). </li>
<li>Integrations: Google Merchant Center API and Shopify. </li>
<li>Automated lifecycle email flows are built and live.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Marketing and growth
</b></p><p>Almost none has been done deliberately — the ~310 signups came from light SEO and organic discovery, with no paid ads, no social, and no outbound. For a buyer, this is upside, not a weakness: the standard acquisition channels are completely untouched (SEO content at scale, a Shopify App Store listing, agency partnerships, and direct outbound to stores that are currently suspended).</p><p><b>Return on investment</b></p><p>At the current ~$170/month blended run-rate, this isn't a buy-for-yield deal — it's priced as a finished, automated asset plus near-term upside, not a multiple of trailing revenue. The fastest paths to earning the price back:</p><ul>
<li>Monetize existing inbound demand for done-for-you manual GMC fixes — merchants have reached out unprompted requesting this high-ticket service, which currently goes unmonetized. A few fixes a month at high-ticket pricing already exceeds current MRR.</li>
<li>Re-activate the subscription tier (already built and tested) to convert one-time buyers into recurring revenue.</li>
<li>Turn on the untouched channels — Shopify App Store listing, SEO content at scale, outbound to currently-suspended stores. None has been tried.</li>
</ul>
<p>The buyer acquires a complete, ~99%-margin, near-zero-maintenance product in a niche with constant, urgent demand, and the levers above are standard playbook rather than speculation.</p><p><b>Startup assets</b></p><ul>
<li>Domain</li>
<li>Full codebase (Next.js + TypeScript) with the automated scan-and-fix pipeline</li>
<li>~310 registered user accounts / database</li>
<li>Live Google Merchant Center + Shopify integrations</li>
<li>Built-in automated lifecycle email flows</li>
<li>SEO footprint / existing organic rankings</li>
<li>Inbound pipeline of leads requesting high-ticket manual GMC fixes</li>
<li>Brand and name</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Risks</b></p><ul>
<li>Platform dependency: relies on Google Merchant Center policies and APIs. Mitigation — the underlying pain (suspensions) is growing, not shrinking, and the product adapts to policy changes rather than fighting them.</li>
<li>LLM cost: margins track model pricing. Mitigation — the model is swappable; per-user cost is already under $1.</li>
<li>Single-founder handover: one person built it. Mitigation — documentation plus a transition period are included.</li>
<li>Early stage: short revenue history; churn/LTV not yet established. Mitigation — priced as an early asset with clear, untried upside rather than on a trailing multiple.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Summary
</b></p><p>My product is a high-margin (~99%), fully automated micro-SaaS solving an acute, recurring pain — Shopify stores being suspended from Google Shopping — in a niche with constant demand. It reached ~310 merchants on organic/SEO alone, with zero deliberate growth effort and effectively zero maintenance. </p><p>Asking $7,500: the price reflects the built asset rather than trailing revenue — a complete, automated product with real users, early revenue, a modern stack, live integrations, an SEO footprint, and unsolicited inbound demand for a high-ticket manual-fix service that hasn't been monetized yet. A buyer inherits a turnkey asset with two immediate levers: switch on standard acquisition channels, and convert the existing inbound demand into revenue.</p><p>✅ $678 TTM revenue</p><p>✅ 17 customers</p><p>✅ Business model: One-time sales</p><p>✅ Built with TypeScript, Posthog, Next.js</p>

Number of Customers
Expenses
LLM scan API: ~$11 to date;
Railway hosting (Postgres + workers): ~$20/mo;
Domain: ~$10.46/yr;
(No ad spend, no other recurring costs.)
Business Model
One-time payment of $99 per store audit-and-fix (current live model). A subscription tier for ongoing monitoring has also been built and tested and can be re-activated. Margins are ~99% — the only variable cost is the LLM scan, under $1 per store.
Target Audience
Shopify store owners running (or wanting to run) Google Shopping — especially DTC and dropshipping merchants who've been suspended for misrepresentation or are at risk of it. Secondary audience: agencies and freelancers managing Google Shopping across multiple platforms.
Asking Price Reasoning
Asking $6,000 — priced on the built asset plus near-term upside, not a trailing revenue multiple. The platform is a complete, fully automated, ~99%-margin product with ~310 signups (17 paying), live Shopify + Google Merchant Center integrations, a modern stack.
Reason for Selling
I'm focusing my time and capital on my other SaaS (Metricx) and my core business. The platform is profitable and fully automated, but it has clear untapped growth I don't have the bandwidth to pursue — I'd rather hand it to an owner who'll actively push those.
Growth Opportunity
Every standard acquisition channel is still untouched: a Shopify App Store listing, SEO content at scale, partnerships with Shopify/ads agencies, and direct outbound to currently-suspended stores.
