What is Techiepugs?

Techiepugs is a free toolkit for people who run their own Shopify store: calculators for fees, margins, plans and discounts, generators for swatches, barcodes and variant files, an image size checker, and guides written for the theme you actually use.

Every rate on the site carries the date it was last checked against Shopify's own pages. It is an independent site, not affiliated with Shopify or with any app vendor, so there is nothing here to upsell.

Free tools

Tools for the fiddly parts of running a store.

Each tool does one job, works as you type and shows where its numbers come from. No sign-up and no email gate.

  • Color swatch generator

    Turn hex codes, a pasted list or a product photo into a matching set of color swatches.

    Download the swatches as PNG, SVG, a ZIP or CSS, along with the color values Shopify's own swatches read.

  • Barcode generator

    Make UPC, EAN, ISBN and Code 128 barcodes, ready to print on labels.

    Checks the final digit of each number, exports SVG or PNG, prints label sheets, and shows where the number goes in Shopify.

  • Fee and profit margin calculator

    See what Shopify keeps from each sale, and what you keep.

    Enter cost, price and shipping to get fees, net profit, margin and break-even price for every plan side by side.

  • Plan calculator

    Find the cheapest Shopify plan for the way you actually sell.

    Put in monthly orders and average order value to see what each plan costs in a month and where the next plan starts to pay off.

  • Discount and markdown calculator

    Check your margin before a sale goes live.

    Percent off, sale price, amount off, buy X get Y and stacked discounts, plus the deepest markdown that still keeps your margin.

  • Variant CSV generator

    Every size, color and material combination, in one import file.

    List your options to get every variant with SKUs and prices, in the columns Shopify's product import expects. A SKU mode works on any list.

  • Theme image size checker

    Find out whether an image fits its slot in your theme before it goes live.

    Drop in a banner, product photo, logo or favicon to check its size, shape and file against Shopify's limits and your theme's own sizes.

Theme guides

Color swatches, on any theme.

Shopify's own swatches, an app, or a few lines of Liquid: the right route depends on your theme. Each guide walks through all three for one theme and says which one we would pick.

How the numbers work

One fee table, dated and sourced.

The calculators read from a single table of Shopify plan prices and payment rates, and every rate carries the date we last checked it against Shopify's pricing page. Here is one $40.00 order on the Basic plan, paid online by card in the US.
