A New Chapter Begins: Tepo joins Qikify
We're thrilled to share some exciting news with our community: Tepo Product Options is now officially part of the Qikify Apps ecosystem! After more than two years of building, growing, and serving thousands of Shopify merchants, we're embarking on an exciting new chapter that promises to unlock even greater possibilities for our customers and team.
The journey so far
When we first launched Tepo Product Options, we had a simple but ambitious vision: help Shopify merchants break free from the platform's 100-variant limitation and give their customers the product customization experience they deserved.
What started as a solution to a common Shopify pain point has grown into something much bigger. Today, over 9,000 Shopify stores worldwide rely on Tepo to offer unlimited product options, from simple text fields to complex conditional logic and pricing add-ons. We've seen merchants transform their business models, increase their average order values, and create truly personalized shopping experiences for their customers.
Some highlights from our journey:
- 9,000+ active Shopify stores using our platform
- 4.9-star rating with 850+ merchant reviews
- 25+ flexible option types supporting everything from jewelry engraving to custom gift wrapping
Why Qikify? Why now?
Choosing the right partner for this next phase wasn't a decision we took lightly. Qikify stood out for several compelling reasons:
Shared vision: Like us, Qikify is deeply committed to empowering Shopify merchants with tools that drive real business results. Their focus on conversion optimization and sales enhancement aligns perfectly with our mission to help merchants maximize the value of product customization.
Proven track record: Qikify operates four successful Shopify apps with a 5.0 average rating, serving thousands of merchants with solutions for sales popups, cart optimization, upselling, and navigation. They understand what it takes to build and scale successful Shopify applications.
Complementary strengths: While we've mastered product customization, Qikify brings deep expertise in conversion optimization, user experience design, and sales funnel enhancement. Together, we can offer merchants a more comprehensive toolkit for growth.
Cultural fit: From our very first conversations, it was clear that both teams share similar values around customer-centricity, product excellence, and long-term thinking.
