There are so many other real problems

- starting out, not knowing what carriers available in your target area and their real performance/SLA, until you try them out. This info is critical to do business.

- for merchants with lots of products the photo sessions + touch up takes a lot of time. Any way that can speed up the process would be helpful.

- large catalogs can't manage their SEO without some automation. Shopify doesn't give this out of the box. There are apps in this space though thankfully.

- merchendizers managing large catalogs can make many mistakes when adding product to website. There's got to be a customizable "checker" that could check if mandatory fields are filled, spell check etc.

- let's say you want to slash a collection's price by 10% for a sale. This can't be done easily without manually changing each product. (coupons not a solution, as price has to reflect on ad channels). Any way to do bulk actions like these faster?

- lots of customers enter in wrong email or phone number or don't respond.. is there a way to add optional OTP entry step after order placement?

- shopify (and most themes) don't give customers ability to request and manage returns. Their option is contacting customer support.

I guess you get where I am going with this.. look at the operational issues businesses face, there are opportunities there.
