Do I need theme changes to launch CutSizeGenie?

No. The app is meant to be installed without turning rollout into a storefront rebuild. The first launch should stay lightweight, controlled, and easy for a merchant to reverse if the catalog is not a fit.

Is CutSizeGenie right for every apparel brand?

No. It works best for apparel merchants where adjacent inventory can realistically support a missing size and where the operations team already understands the fulfillment reality behind that decision.

How does CutSizeGenie avoid overselling?

With conservative thresholds, max-share controls, and narrow rollout rules. Virtual size recovery should stop before source stock becomes risky, not after the team is forced into manual cleanup.

What is a recovered size in practice?

A recovered size is a size state that becomes sellable because real source inventory in another valid size is allowed to support it under the merchant’s rules. It is not meant to represent unlimited availability.

How long does first setup take?

A focused first rollout can typically be configured in under 30 minutes when the merchant starts with one category, one mapping model, and one clear downstream workflow.

Can I start with just one category or collection?

Yes. That is the recommended path. Start where the size logic is operationally strong, validate the workflow, and only then decide whether broader rollout is justified.

What counts as usage for billing?

Usage should be tied to orders influenced by recovered size availability, where CutSizeGenie kept an eligible size visible and purchasable under the merchant’s configured rules.

Is billing handled inside Shopify?

That is the intended commercial model. The website and app listing should stay aligned so merchants understand pricing, billing path, and usage logic before they install.

What happens if source stock drops below the threshold?

Recovered availability should stop once the configured safety level is reached. That is the point of the safeguard system: preserve operational trust before the source size becomes constrained.

Do support and operations teams see the recovered order context?

They should. The product story only works if the downstream team can understand why a recovered order was allowed and what source inventory logic sits behind it.

Can I uninstall if the catalog is not a fit?

Yes. Merchants should feel comfortable testing fit on a narrow rollout before making the product part of a broader merchandising workflow.

What is the best first use case for CutSizeGenie?

A high-intent apparel category with clear size-run gaps, real demand on the PDP, and a team that already has confidence in the category’s size substitution or cut-size workflow.

Can I exclude products, collections, or categories from rollout?

Yes. Rollout should stay selective. Start with the product groups where the size relationship is operationally proven, and leave the rest of the catalog untouched until the model is validated.

Will customers understand what they are buying if a size is recovered?

That depends on the merchant’s merchandising policy, which is why rollout should only happen where the size relationship is already believable to the business. The app should support a valid selling path, not create confusion that support has to clean up later.

Does CutSizeGenie work with alteration-led or made-to-order workflows?

It can be a fit when the business already has a disciplined downstream process for those orders. The right question is not whether the app can technically switch on a size, but whether fulfillment, support, and returns policies are already clear enough to support that decision.

How should I measure whether the first rollout is working?

Use a narrow rollout and measure influenced orders, PDP conversion behavior on affected products, support friction, and source-stock safety. If the commercial upside improves while the downstream workflow stays clean, the rollout is earning expansion.
