Executive Summary

Small and mid-sized Shopify merchants treat Google Sheets as their operational database for orders, inventory, and reporting, but keeping those sheets accurate is painful: manual CSV exports, brittle scripts, and delayed syncs cost teams hours a week and lead to stale decisions. The pain is concentrated in SMBs with limited engineering resources who need reliable, low-friction automation rather than full-blown ETL or BI platforms. Build a lightweight, install-and-run Shopify → Google Sheets connector with webhook-driven real-time updates, incremental syncs, conflict resolution, field mapping, and pre-built templates for common workflows (orders, inventory, customers) exposed via a no-code UI. Offer it as a SaaS with transparent, SMB-friendly pricing (targeting <$400 ACV) and built-in handling for Shopify rate limits, pagination, and audit logs. This is a timely market: about 3,000,000 online SMB merchants imply a $1.2B addressable market at $400 ACV, and trends favor Sheets-as-a-platform and no-code ops (market score 84/100, revenue potential 88/100). You can stand out by prioritizing true real-time reliability, a frictionless onboarding flow, and clear support SLAs rather than adding every enterprise ETL feature, but be upfront about engineering risks—webhook reliability, data consistency across concurrent edits, and support for high-change stores are non-trivial. If you solve for reliability and pricing, the economics and demand are attractive; if you skimp on those areas, churn and negative reviews will quickly limit growth.
