How a Solo Dev Hit 10K MRR Selling Only on the Shopify App Store

Episode notes

In this episode of The Indie Hacker Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore the story of a solo developer who built a Shopify app for inventory forecasting and reached $10,000 monthly recurring revenue without any other sales channel. They break down the specific strategies used to gain traction inside the Shopify ecosystem, including leveraging the app store's built-in discovery, focusing on a niche pain point for merchants, and using a freemium model to drive conversions. The hosts discuss the trade-offs of relying solely on a single platform and how the developer later scaled to $15k MRR by adding a premium tier. This episode offers concrete takeaways for indie hackers considering platform-specific products in 2026. #ShopifyAppStore #IndieHacker #SaaS #MonthlyRecurringRevenue #10KMRR #Ecommerce #InventoryForecasting #Shopify #SoloDeveloper #Freemium #PlatformRisk #Bootstrapping #RevenueMilestone #TechBusiness #IndieDev #NoAds #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
