Shopify UX Friction Detector
The Opportunity
An app that identifies invisible conversion friction on product pages, collection pages, and checkout-adjacent steps. It explains what users are struggling with and suggests specific fixes merchants can apply as theme drafts.
"Merchants can see that conversion is weak, but standard analytics and heatmaps do not tell them what page elements are causing friction or how to fix them."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Track mobile tap issues, rage clicks, dead clicks, scroll depth, CTA visibility, and interaction delays, then translate those behaviors into actionable recommendations and previewable theme changes.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants focused on conversion rate optimization, especially stores with meaningful traffic but underperforming sales.
Competitive Landscape
Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, Lucky Orange, Inspectlet, DynoWeb
Implementation Notes
Use theme app extensions and front-end event tracking to capture clicks, taps, scrolls, element visibility, and device-specific behavior. Add session-level pattern analysis to detect friction, then generate recommended fixes by page element and support draft-theme previews or theme section suggestions without touching the live store.
