SmartAltGen AI Alt Text Shopify App Feedback

Hi everyone :waving_hand:

I’m building a Shopify app called “SmartAltGen”.

It is an AI-powered app that automatically generates alt text for Shopify store images.

The app will support:

  • Product images
  • Blog images
  • CMS / page images
  • Entire store image coverage

Merchants will be able to choose:

  • AI-generated alt text or use image title
  • Select scope (products, blogs, pages, or full store)
  • Set character limit (max 120 characters)

The alt text will be generated according to WCAG accessibility guidelines to ensure it is clear, meaningful, and accessible for users with visual impairments.

I am using Shopify Admin API + Gemini AI for generating alt text.

I would really appreciate your feedback and suggestions:

  • How can I make this app more useful for merchants?
  • Any features you think are missing?
  • Any best practices I should follow for Shopify App Store approval?
