In 2021, my wife started her first Shopify store, and I helped her get it up and running. When we ran our first sale, we installed a price editor app. It changed the prices incorrectly and couldn't restore them, leaving us to fix the catalog manually.
I went looking for an alternative in the Shopify App Store, but couldn't find one I trusted with something as important as pricing. So I built my own, with safety and backups at its core. Where every price change could be rolled back. That became Platmart Bulk Price Editor.
Later, the same store ran into another problem. Different colors of the same product were separate listings in Shopify, but shoppers needed an easy way to move between them. I couldn't find a good solution, so I built one. That became Platmart Color Swatches.
Both apps started with real problems in stores I still help operate today. It means I'm not just building for Shopify merchants - I'm one of the people using these tools day to day. That merchant perspective still shapes every product decision we make.
