Shop Pay / Dynamic Buy Button Diagnostic & Fix Assistant
The Opportunity
An app that checks why Shopify’s dynamic buy now button is rendering incorrectly, such as showing a gray Shop payment option on mobile or desktop. It guides merchants through theme, payment, cache, and configuration issues and can surface actionable fixes without needing a developer.
"Merchants can’t diagnose why the dynamic buy now button is disabled, gray, or showing the wrong payment label, which can hurt conversion rates."

Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Provide a storefront diagnostic that checks Shop Pay eligibility, theme compatibility, button settings, payment configuration, script conflicts, and device-specific rendering. The app should recommend exact fixes, optionally inject safe theme checks, and alert merchants when the button is not functioning properly.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants using Shop Pay, dynamic checkout buttons, and third-party themes like Debutify
Competitive Landscape
Theme support tools, general Shopify support apps, and theme-specific support channels; no well-known dedicated app for dynamic checkout button diagnostics
Implementation Notes
Build a Shopify app that audits dynamic checkout button status by checking theme templates, product page markup, Shop Pay eligibility, payment gateway configuration, and common JavaScript conflicts. Include device/browser simulation checks, a remediation checklist, and optional theme-app-extension based status widgets; avoid modifying checkout directly and keep fixes to storefront-safe diagnostics and guidance.
