Hey all was bleeding money on Meta ads because I couldn't tell which products were actually profitable after returns and shipping. Pretty sure I'm not the only one. Built a quick fix last weekend (free): 1. Make a Google Sheet called "True Profit" Columns: Product Name, Selling Price, Cost to Make, Shipping Cost, Average Returns %. 2. Fill in your top 20 products. Even rough numbers are fine. 3. Sign up for n8n which is a free tool that grabs data from your store automatically 4. Build a workflow that runs every Sunday night: pull last week's orders and returns from Shopify → match each sale to your sheet → email you a summary of which products actually made money and which lost money. 5. Final column in the email: "kill or keep" based on whether profit margin is above 20%. Killed 4 products that looked great on revenue but were losing money. Hope this helps 🙏
You guys also losing sales because stuff goes out of stock and you don't notice until customers complain? Found this really painful the last couple of weeks. Here's what I built (free): 1. Sign up for n8n — it's a free tool that can read your Shopify data and do stuff with it automatically. 2. Connect Shopify to n8n (just click "Add Shopify", log in, done). 3. Build a workflow that runs every morning at 8am: ask Shopify for all products with less than 10 units in stock → send YOU one email listing everything that's low. 4. Bonus: have it also draft a reorder email to your supplier with the product name and how many to order. You review and send. That's it. No more "we're out of the bestseller and I didn't realise." Anybody got thoughts? Hope this helps 🙏 happy to walk through it if you get stuck.
Hi everyone. Have really been struggling with customer service emails. Also over the last few months I've banged my head against the wall answering the same 5 questions over and over — "where's my order," "what's your return policy," "what size should I get." I was talking to ChatGPT and figured something out. Sharing in case it helps (around $5/m): 1. Look through your last 100 support emails. Write down the top 5 questions you get and your standard answers in a Google Doc. 2. Sign up for n8n — free tool that connects your Gmail to other apps. 3. Sign up for OpenAI (the makers of ChatGPT) and get an API key. This costs cents per email — usually under $5/m for a small store. 4. Build a workflow in n8n: when a new support email arrives → send the email + your Google Doc of FAQs to OpenAI → OpenAI writes a draft reply → drop the draft in your Gmail "drafts" folder. 5. You open Gmail, review the draft, tweak it, hit send. Response time goes from hours to seconds. I really hope this helps 🙏 happy to walk anyone through it. Thanks!

Hi all—I've been struggling with abandoned carts killing my conversion rate. I know a lot of store owners here have too. Set up a fix last week. Here's the simple version (free to start): 1. In your Shopify admin, turn on the "abandoned checkout" notification — Shopify already tracks these for you. 2. Sign up for a free n8n account — it's a tool that lets you build "when X happens, do Y" workflows without code. 3. Connect Shopify to n8n (n8n has a built-in Shopify option — just click and log in). 4. Build a workflow that triggers when a cart is abandoned. Tell it to send 3 emails through your Gmail: - 1 hour later: "Did something go wrong at checkout?" - 24 hours later: "Still thinking it over?" - 72 hours later: a 10% discount code 5. Write the 3 emails once. They send themselves forever. If anything is unclear, let me know. Hope this helps 🙏
