To use these templates, simply copy and paste them into your community posts or discussion threads. Adapt the language to fit your brand voice or add specific context if needed. Encourage members to not only share resources but also explain why they found them valuable and how they use them in their Shopify journey. Highlight select recommendations in follow-up posts or newsletters to spotlight contributors and keep the momentum going.
These templates are designed for all platforms; whether you are on Facebook Groups, Discord, Slack, Shopify Community Forums, or LinkedIn, you can use these prompts as-is. Always adapt your call to action to the features of your platform, such as using @mentions or pinned posts to draw attention to valuable resources.
When using these Recommend a Resource templates, focus on outlining the specific business case, merchant size, or use case for each app you suggest (e.g., 'For stores with high-volume order processing, consider these inventory management apps...'). Disclose any official partner relationships and encourage members to share their own experiences with the resources mentioned, fostering a transparent, community-driven environment.
Tailor your template prompts to include Shopify-relevant context, such as 'Has anyone worked with theme developers familiar with Online Store 2.0 or Shopify Hydrogen?' or 'Looking for recommendations on agencies experienced in optimizing for Shopify’s Core Web Vitals.' This specificity helps members provide more targeted and valuable recommendations.
Use the templates to clearly differentiate between public, Shopify App Store-listed apps and custom/private apps built for unique store needs. For example, prompt users: 'Can anyone recommend a public app that handles multi-currency checkout, or share experiences with commissioning a custom solution?' This ensures discussions are relevant and actionable based on merchants’ access and capabilities.
Adapt the templates to invite both positive and negative experiences, such as 'Which fulfillment apps or 3PLs have you integrated with Shopify, and what issues or successes did you encounter?' Emphasize the importance of mentioning integration with Shopify’s Fulfillment Network or compatibility with Shopify’s order APIs, ensuring advice is relevant to Shopify store owners.
Structure your Recommend a Resource posts by grouping tools by marketing channel and Shopify integration depth, e.g., 'What email marketing apps offer deep Shopify segmentation?' or 'Which loyalty apps sync seamlessly with Shopify POS?' Encourage members to share metrics (like open rates or repeat purchase rate) to provide context-rich recommendations.
Absolutely! These templates are ideal for eliciting targeted agency recommendations—just specify the Shopify-related task.
