FanBase Shopify Test & Website Launch Next Week
Summary
XBorg announces updates: FanBase is in Shopify staging tests while FanBase's MCP growth experiment is being evaluated. The post explains assumptions about app listing helping ChatGPT indexing and potential user acquisition. The community should expect an improved FanBase website and a paired video release next Tuesday, which could accelerate outreach once listed.
Some quick updates on what I shared last week.
- Shopify integration is currently being tested in staging. We have no visibility on how long the approval process will take, but we're getting ready to start the outreach once FanBase gets listed on the Shopify App Store.
- FanBase's MCP is also being tested (see the screenshot attached). In full transparency, that's a growth experiment with no guarantee this will be a valid funnel for user acquisition, but it's worth a try. Our assumption is that 1) listing FanBase has an app will help ChatGPT index our app and promote it (e.g. to people asking for DM automation solution as an example), and 2) it's also a feature some early-adopters requested.
We're looking at next Tuesday for the release of FanBase's improved website, paired with the release of the video Louis ~~teased~~ leaked above 👀
