One job, done well.
No bloat.
We build narrow Shopify apps that solve one real operational problem — not another all-in-one dashboard. Each app does one job merchants actually pay to have solved.
Overview
SMBkits builds small, single-purpose Shopify apps that each solve one specific operational problem, instead of bundling unrelated features into an all-in-one dashboard. Its first app, Profit Guard, detects unprofitable orders in real time by accounting for product cost, shipping, discounts, and payment fees. SMBkits apps are priced at about $5/month each, install in under a minute, and run automatically in the background with no ongoing configuration.

Why we build narrow apps
Most Shopify tooling bundles unrelated features into one subscription — analytics, marketing, chat, upsells, reports — hoping something in the bundle sticks. Merchants end up paying for a dozen capabilities they never open, and configuring away the ones that get in the way. SMBkits takes the opposite approach: every app we ship solves exactly one problem, is priced for that problem alone, and otherwise stays out of your way.
Focused
Every SMBkits app is built to solve exactly one operational problem — nothing bundled in that you didn't ask for, and nothing you have to configure away.
Fair pricing
Every SMBkits app costs about the same as one coffee, once — for a full month of service. No tiers, no per-order fees, no surprise upsells.
Built for real problems
Each app starts from a specific, verifiable gap in what Shopify merchants can already do — not a feature list copied from a bigger competitor.
Who SMBkits is for
SMBkits apps are built for merchants running a Shopify store on their own, or with a small team — the kind of business where the owner is still involved in day-to-day margins, shipping decisions, and product pricing, not just looking at a monthly summary someone else prepared. If you've ever discovered a problem in your store's numbers weeks after it started, that's the gap we're building for.
We're not trying to be the last app you'll ever need to install. We'd rather be the one app in a specific category that you never think about uninstalling, because it quietly keeps doing its one job correctly, order after order, without asking you to configure a dashboard or learn a new interface.
How it works
Install in under a minute
Connect your Shopify store through the standard OAuth flow. No credit card required to start.
Set it up once
Tell the app what it needs to know — product cost, shipping rate, whatever's relevant — a single time.
It runs in the background
From then on, the app does its one job automatically on every order, with no ongoing maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
Q.What does SMBkits build?
SMBkits builds narrow, single-purpose Shopify apps. Each app solves one specific operational problem — like real-time order profitability with Profit Guard — instead of bundling unrelated features into one dashboard.
Q.How is SMBkits priced?
Every SMBkits app costs about the same as one coffee per month, once. There are no usage tiers, per-order fees, or surprise upsells.
Q.Is Profit Guard the only SMBkits app?
Profit Guard is live today. Ops Connector and Ledger Sync are in progress — each will ship as its own focused app rather than being bundled into Profit Guard.
