Free Shopify automation tools and diagnostic calculators that replace expensive paid apps — order logging to Google Sheets, server-side tracking helpers, profit/loss automation, and a library of free guides.
🔗 Live site: https://stackarchitect.xyz ⭐ Flagship tool: Stocky Swap — free Shopify Stocky replacement
Built and maintained by Luke (UK).
- Automation tools — e.g. Stocky Swap (logs orders to Google Sheets via Make.com), CAPI Shield, P&L Automation.
- Free calculators & diagnostics — app-cost, break-even, attribution-gap, EMQ-score and more (see
/tools). - Guides & comparisons — long-form Shopify automation and migration content under
/shopify-automation-guides.
Each tool is honest about scope — what it does and what it doesn't — so merchants can pick the right fit.
