Apps & platforms

Be on the Top 10 list operators read before buying.

Apps, ERPs, WMS, 3PLs, iPaaS, and shipping platforms can apply to be evaluated for one of the 40 Shopify operations Top 10 lists we publish. Every listing is operator-reviewed against verified facts (integration depth, pricing, who it actually fits), not vendor marketing copy.

  • Editorial review against verified facts — pricing, integration depth, customer fit
  • Direct placement in front of $5M+ DTC operators actively evaluating your category
  • No pay-to-rank: ranking reflects operator fit, not budget
  • Updated quarterly so the listing stays current as your product evolves

Expert network

Take qualified leads on a per-introduction fee.

  • Pre-vetted leads matched to your specialty (WMS, ERP, 3PL, fulfillment, inventory)
  • Per-introduction fee — no monthly retainer, no minimum spend
  • Full lead context delivered with the introduction: scope, plan, budget, timeline
  • You set the categories and the geographies you want

Frequently asked

Common questions from partners.

Who is a good fit for the expert network?

Agencies, fractional operators, and specialists with verifiable Shopify operations case studies (WMS, ERP, 3PL, fulfillment, inventory, or specific vertical work) at the $5M+ DTC band. We prioritize partners with named references and shipped engagements, not generalists.

How does the introduction fee work?

You pay a fixed fee when an introduction lands on your calendar — typically a percentage of the eventual engagement value, capped per lead. No monthly retainer. No fee for declined or unresponsive leads. Exact terms are agreed in the partner agreement.

What does "exclusive leads" actually exclude?

Exclusive partners receive every qualifying lead in their declared category + geography combination. Non-exclusive partners do not see those leads. The exclusive partner is committed via a monthly retainer and a per-engagement performance fee.

Can my app be listed if it is brand new?

We evaluate apps based on operator fit, not company age. New apps with strong product fit for $5M+ DTC Shopify operators can be listed; we will ask for a product walkthrough and reference customers as part of the review.

How do you decide rankings on the Top 10 lists?

Rankings reflect operator fit at the $5M+ DTC band: integration depth with Shopify, pricing transparency, implementation effort, scalability headroom, and the strength of reference customers in the relevant category. Rankings are not paid placements.
