How it works
Connect once. Your Monday writes itself.
- Step 01
Sign in with Shopify Partner
Every client store you have collaborator access to lights up via OAuth. No CSV uploads. No per-store fees. No asking clients for credentials.
- Step 02
Set your brand once
Logo, colors, custom subdomain. Every report your clients receive looks like it came from your agency — not Shopify.
- Step 03
Reports ship Monday
We render a branded PDF for every client every week and email it for you. You stop building. They stop forgetting.
What I learned
I read every Reddit post from agency owners I could find. Same six frustrations, over and over.
r/Entrepreneur, r/ecommerce, r/SaaS, r/IndieHackers — pulled, pattern-matched, and read by hand. This kept coming back:
- 01
Logging into 15 different Shopify admins every Monday morning.
- 02
Building client reports by hand in Google Sheets, every single week.
- 03
Watching the client forget your agency exists the moment the project ships.
- 04
Triple Whale charges per store. AgencyAnalytics integrates 80 things shallowly. Nothing actually fits.
- 05
Shopify's branding all over everything. Your agency stays invisible.
- 06
One-time project fees instead of the recurring revenue that would actually let you sleep.
“Agencies lowkey end up building recurring revenue for the platforms more than for themselves.”

The weekly report
What your clients receive, in their inbox.
Every Monday at 9 AM in the client's timezone, a branded PDF lands in their inbox — numbers, trend, and a short “what we did” note. You stop building them. They stop forgetting you.
- Your logo, colors, and domain — not Shopify's.
- Auto-personalized per store (revenue, AOV, top SKUs).
- Editable copy block for the human touch.
- PDF + web link with click-tracking.

Why I'm building this
One person in Seoul. Building this on nights and weekends.
I'm a developer who wanted to build something with recurring revenue — not another AI wrapper, not another social app. Instead of guessing what to make, I went where agency owners actually complain.
Pulled posts and comments from the subreddits where small agencies live. Tagged each one by what kind of frustration it signaled — “looking for a tool that doesn't exist”, “switching away from X”, “willing to pay for Y”. Then read the strongest ones by hand.
One pattern was unmistakable. Agencies running multiple Shopify clients are exhausted, and every existing tool is wrong for them. Triple Whale is brand-shaped and per-store. AgencyAnalytics integrates eighty things shallowly. The Partner Dashboard is a login switcher, not a tool.
So I'm making the tool you all asked for.
Week by week, in public.
If you run a Shopify agency, I want to hear from you. Not sell — just understand what would actually make your Monday lighter. MerchantPilot is archived now, but the demo stays up and email still comes straight to me.
Run the numbers
Every client you manage is a retainer waiting to happen.
Drag the slider to your client count, pick a retainer, and see the recurring revenue MerchantPilot was built to unlock.
MerchantPilot costs $49/mo flat. The math isn't close.
Why it's a no-brainer
Built for your agency. Priced like it.

What it's worth
One retainer covers MerchantPilot. The other fourteen are profit.
Founding agencies charge an average of $99/mo per client for a managed reporting retainer. Run 15 client stores and that's a fresh layer of recurring revenue — paid for by month one.

Common questions
The things you'd ask me if we were on a call.
- Q01How is this different from Triple Whale or AgencyAnalytics?
- Triple Whale is built for brands, priced per store. If you manage 15 clients you pay 15 subscriptions. AgencyAnalytics integrates 80 marketing tools shallowly — Shopify is one row in a long list. MerchantPilot is Shopify-deep and agency-multi-tenant from day one. One subscription, all your client stores, with white-label baked in.
- Q02I'm in EST/PST — your timezone is Seoul. Will support work?
- I read every email myself, usually within 12 hours. If you need a synchronous call, I do early-mornings my time (Seoul evening = your morning) — book a slot whenever.
- Q03What happens to my data? Client revenue is sensitive.
- OAuth via Shopify Partner — I never see or store your clients' admin credentials. Only the read-only data you'd already see in Partner Dashboard (revenue, orders, AOV, products). Hosted on Vercel + Supabase, EU/US regions available. Full data export anytime. Hard-delete on request.
- Q04Can I still sign up?
- No. MerchantPilot was archived in November 2026 and no longer accepts new subscriptions. The demo stays up so you can see how it worked.
- Q05Does this work with Shopify Plus?
- Yes — same Partner API. If you manage Plus stores, the same dashboard works. Specific Plus features (Flow integrations, Scripts triggers) ship in v2 based on what early-access agencies actually need.
- Q06Can I cancel? What's the lock-in?
- No contracts, no minimums. Month-to-month. Cancel and your client integrations stay live until end of billing cycle, then everything de-provisions cleanly. Your branded report templates remain in your downloads forever.
