Parallel Studio

About · Studio

We do not sell agency work.

Parallel Studio is an agent-first Shopify app studio. Shopify makes stores accessible to agents. Parallel makes businesses operable — with product subscriptions as the business, not theme launches or retainers.

Operating model

ARR first · Fees second

primary

Product ARR

Subscriptions on shipped Shopify apps. Flagship path is Deltaproof; siblings Makewright and ChangeProof follow the same evidence bar.

secondary

Partner referrals

Agencies and partners who need agent-commerce tooling — not a Parallel-run store rebuild.

secondary

Design-partner fees

Paid custom work only when it names a public SKU, a cut date, and a path to an evidence pack.

Light pointer · Home cluster

Full product cluster lives on the homepage — not a second /products page.
