App-Stack-Check

Are you paying for Shopify apps you don’t need?

I review every app in your store and tell you in writing what you pay for twice, where customer data goes and where a European app fits better.

What I look at for every app

What does the app cost you?

I work out what each app costs per month at your revenue and volume, and show where two apps do the same job.

€348a year for a single unneeded app at €29 a month.

Where does your customer data go?

Which app reads names, emails and orders, where they are stored and whether a DPA is in place.

Is there a European alternative?

Where an app from Europe fits, I name it, with its source and the questions still open.

What you get in the end

Three documents that are yours to keep. Work with them right away or pass them on.

3 documents

  1. App table

    Spreadsheet

    Every app on one row: monthly cost, what it does, which customer data it reads, where it stores it, DPA yes or no, and my recommendation.

    What forYour overview of costs and data. It also gives you the list of service providers for your privacy policy.

  2. Report

    PDF

    A short summary: what you can save per year, which data flows you need to clarify and which European alternatives fit. Every claim with a source.

    What forFor your decision, and to pass on to your team, agency or data protection officer.

  3. To-do list

    Checklist

    Concrete next steps by priority: which app to cancel, which provider to ask for a DPA (with link), what to test.

    What forSo you can start right away without researching anything yourself.

Money-back guarantee. If I find no app you should cancel, replace or clarify for data protection, you pay nothing.

Fixed price by number of apps

You pay once, no subscription. Every package includes the same; the price only depends on how many apps I review.

Only 5 spots at half price

The first 5 stores pay half. First come, first served. In return I ask for short feedback and may show the result anonymously as an example.

Common questions

What do you need from me?

Your store URL and access: a staff account without order permissions, or a list of your apps with screenshots. Whichever you prefer.

How long does it take?

You get the documents usually within one week after I have access.

What if you find nothing?

Then you pay nothing. If I find no app you should cancel, replace or clarify for data protection, you pay nothing.

Is this legal advice?

No. I show you, with sources, which data goes where and whether a DPA is in place. Whether your store is GDPR compliant is for your lawyer or data protection officer to judge. My documents are a good basis for that conversation.

Does booking the check affect the directory?

No. Booking it gets no app a better listing, including your own apps if you are a provider.

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay once per check. If you want another check later, for example after a year, you book it again.

Are the prices net?

Yes. All prices are net, plus 20 % VAT.

Why is there a founding price?

The check is new. The first 5 stores pay 50 % less. In return, I ask for short feedback and permission to describe the result anonymously as an example. After that, the regular prices apply.

Tell me which apps you use.

Send me your store URL and roughly how many apps are installed. I reply with the right package and a fixed price. I only start once you say yes.
