Hello everyone, I'm the founder of Checkout X and the original post creator - so flattered to see all the engagement here. Thanks for the kind words and the criticism, I totally respect everyone's opinion on the topic. I intentionally waited a couple of years before I wrote the post as I just wanted to share the story of Checkout X for people to see it - without any agenda. Checkout X is a closed page for me and I'm looking forward towards the future.

Some updates from me: - I built another Shopify app ( Vanga AI ) that got acquired this year - I've summarised my thoughts on the current Shopify ecosystem in another blog post: Why I'm leaving the Shopify apps business ( https://www.leteyski.com/why-i-m-leaving-the-shopify-apps-bu... ) - I've summarised some of the business lessons I've accumulated into a Startup assessment framework called: The Dead Horse Framework ( https://www.leteyski.com/the-dead-horse-framework )

I'm curious about your use of affiliates and how they worked out - definitely would like to get some guidance there. But it's not for a SaaS app, so not sure how much guidance you can provide.

Also - I really like your graphics in your blog post. How do you go about generating them?
