Shopify search without GMV pricing traps
Seekmodo's Shopify connector bills on search submissions — not monthly store revenue. Theme App Extensions, vehicle fitment on Growth-tier plans, and native Shopify fallback while we finish App Store review.
- OAuth pairing from the Shopify admin — same model as our BigCommerce App Marketplace connector.
- Theme App Extensions for suggest, SERP enhancement, and recommendation widgets on Online Store 2.0.
- Headless and Hydrogen setups supported via the REST API and storefront JWT patterns in /docs/shopify/install.
Technical setup
This page covers the product and SEO story. First-party install guides and custom-connector API docs (for platforms we do not ship) live in the developer docs.
GMV bands vs search-volume fairness
Many Shopify search apps reprice when your store crosses revenue bands — Boost Commerce's Launch tier jumps 8× past roughly $50K monthly GMV. Seekmodo meters post-bot-check search submissions on public tiers from $29/mo, so a high-AOV niche store is not penalized for revenue you already earned.
Theme App Extension install
- OAuth pairing from the Shopify admin — same model as our BigCommerce App Marketplace connector.
- Theme App Extensions for suggest, SERP enhancement, and recommendation widgets on Online Store 2.0.
- Headless and Hydrogen setups supported via the REST API and storefront JWT patterns in /docs/shopify/install.
Honest feature parity vs Boost
- Typo-tolerant AI catalog search with native Shopify fallback when the gateway is unreachable.
- Collection merchandising, synonyms, pins, and zero-result rescue in the operator console.
- Per-tenant MCP on every paid plan — Boost does not publish an agent endpoint.
- Vehicle fitment, YMM garage, and VIN decode on Growth-tier plans (platform-dependent — see /solutions/automotive-parts-search).
Managed Pricing and trial
When the App Store listing ships, Managed Pricing handles plan selection in Shopify admin. Start a 14-day trial with uncapped searches, then pick the tier that matches your dashboard search counter.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Shopify app live on the App Store yet?
The connector is in development — join early access at /plugins/shopify. This page stays noindex until the public App Store listing is approved.
Does this work with Online Store 2.0?
Yes — Theme App Extensions are the primary storefront integration path. See /docs/shopify/install for theme and headless notes.
How does pricing compare to Boost Commerce?
Boost prices on GMV bands; Seekmodo prices on search volume. See /compare/boost-commerce for a footnoted side-by-side.
Can I use Seekmodo on Hydrogen?
Pair via OAuth and integrate through the REST API and storefront JWT — see /docs/shopify/install and /solutions/rest-api-storefront-search.
Is MCP included?
Yes — every paid plan exposes a per-tenant MCP server. See /solutions/mcp-catalog-search for architecture details.
