Kind of an encouraging post more than anything.
I work a job full time, and have a newborn so my time is pretty limited.
But I work on my side projects pretty diligently before work every weekday. Some nights & weekend days if I have time.
No, I'm a solo dev-trepenuer.
ID verification for Shopify.
It's a service that securely receives customers' ID documents & headshots and uses machine learning to verify authenticity of identity.
Merchants selling on Shopify with high risk products
Merchants selling high risk or high dollar items
Merchants selling high dollar digital goods where typically anti-fraud measures don't have enough information to make accurate decisions.
Just focused on delivering a solid product using their guidelines and providing the best support I could.
The nice thing about building for Shopify is the out of the box tools you get to start. It's been a pretty smooth experience thus far, aside from a few technical issues but who doesn't have that.
Out of the blue I was emailed and told I would be featured as a Shopify Staff pick in the Mexican market for a month. I'll take it :)
Continue to provide an excellent product and unlock additional revenue for my customers by giving solid ID verification.
Are you a Shopify merchant frustrated with chargebacks or do you need know your customer (KYC) processes? DM me or email me.
Congrats on getting Staff Picked! Not super familiar with this title/award but guessing it's a huge milestone for you!
Any ideas why you were chosen for the Mexican market?
And do you share your revenue numbers publicly? Curious if this lead to a spike in sales.
