Investment vs Return

Your Investment

  • Developer time — one-time build cost
  • TryOnCloud platform plan (monthly)
  • Shopify Partner account (free)

Your Return

  • Starts from month 1 after launch
  • Scales automatically with merchant count
  • 60–80% margin with flat cost model

Break-even

Month 2–3

Most developers recover their build cost within the first 2–3 months of acquiring merchants.

The Shopify App Store Opportunity

Why Shopify merchants pay well

  • They already pay $29–$299/month for the platform — adding a $49 app is routine
  • Virtual try-on directly reduces returns, which costs merchants 20–30% of revenue
  • Fashion is the #1 category on Shopify — your target market is massive
  • Indian D2C fashion brands are a largely untapped vertical for try-on apps

Getting your first reviews and pricing

  • Offer a 14-day free trial in your Shopify app listing to lower the barrier
  • Reach out to 20 fashion store owners on LinkedIn or Shopify forums — offer free onboarding in exchange for a review
  • Start at $19/month to gain traction, raise to $49+ once you have 10 reviews
  • Focus on Indian ethnic wear niche — fewer competitors, higher willingness to pay
