Variant Price Sync Checker for Theme and Product Options Conflicts
The Opportunity
A diagnostic app that detects when product option apps or theme code override variant pricing on the product page. It would help merchants ensure the selected size, color, or custom option shows the correct price before checkout.
"Merchants set different prices for variants like 3XL and 4XL in Shopify, but the storefront displays the wrong price due to theme or product options app conflicts."

Shopify merchants using variant pricing, size-based pricing, or product options apps
Competitive Landscape

Implementation Notes
Create a theme app extension and storefront script that reads selected variant data, compares displayed price to Shopify variant pricing via the Storefront API, and detects conflicts from product options apps or custom scripts. Add a diagnostics dashboard that highlights mismatched selectors, price-formatting bugs, and app conflicts, plus a safe remediation wizard for common themes.
