Who is countertop.dev
Countertop.dev is built and run by me (Josh Bitossi). I started working with the Shopify platform in 2013 while working in retail - tasked with rebuilding a shop's online store. Soon after I developed my first public Shopify app to help retailers organise instore pickups.
In 2017 I joined Shopify as one of the early team members in APAC. I helped launch hundreds of Plus merchants around the world before narrowing down to work directly with more established merchants like JB HiFi, Culture Kings & PETStock.
In the mean time I developed and scaled tools trusted by thousands of Slack teams to schedule messages and create forms.
In 2023 I left Shopify to focus on building software tools that help other businesses.
