πΆ TikTok events
πΉ Live P&L reporting

sha256('[email protected] ') is a perfectly valid hash.
Meta just won't match it to anyone.
Format before you hash, or your Conversions API events land and do nothing.

Most Shopify AI guides focus on generic copy
Our high-ROI stack starts with data and infra:
β Server-side tracking (powers ad bidding models)
β Support automation (deflects most routine tickets)
β Creative volume (testing 10 to 20 concepts weekly)
β GEO and FAQ schema
Many Shopify stores rely on 3 separate apps and manual spreadsheets until an oversell event breaks fulfillment
The failure points are almost always the same:
π Mismatched SKUs
π Polling latency
π SaaS tax: Paying $100 to $300 a month for reorder alerts & stock adjustments
Attribution tools charge $200 to $600/mo for three basic steps:
1β£ Receive an order webhook
2β£ Hash customer details
3β£ Forward the payload to ad APIs
β οΈ Pricing by GMV or order tiers for simple data forwarding is an unnecessary tax on your growth β οΈ
Most Shopify app price lists are guesses copied from other guesses
We built one with one rule: a price is what the vendor's own page said on a named date, or it isn't recorded
54 paid apps. Every source dated with a free replacement for each:

We've Replaced $700/mo of SaaS with Google Apps Script
This worked flawlessly at 10 events/day.
But at 400 it broke four ways, none of which produced an error message...
"Service invoked too many times."
If you rely on Autocrat or Google Apps Script for invoices and PDFs, volume spikes will always break your flow:
β οΈ 6-minute hard execution timeout
β οΈ 90-minute daily runtime cap
β οΈ Silent failures leaving batches half-merged
β The Solution:
Move document generation off Apps Script to an external webhook. No runtime caps, zero silent crashes, and completely free to run.
Deploy our free solution in less than 5 mins.

β οΈ FAO of Shopify Store owners:
Stocky shut down on Monday. The data didn't migrate to Admin, it was deleted.
If you're only finding this out now, the history is gone. But you can start logging again today...
We have rebuilt what Stocky did, minus the app. Every order now lands in a Google Sheet on its own: what sold, how many, when.
Stocky Swap takes just four minutes to set up and costs nothing to run.
