What I Do

Shopify advice from an operator's perspective.

Whether you are considering Shopify, already using it, or comparing plans, I provide independent consultation on the Shopify platform and its different packages, Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus. I am not a store builder or designer. I have nothing to sell except advice.

01

Is Shopify Right For You?

We'll look at your business, products, order volume, goals and current technology to determine whether Shopify makes sense, or whether you should stay where you are.

02

Shopify Strategy

Get practical guidance on plans, payments, shipping, inventory, taxes, apps, customer accounts, discounts, automation and the technology your business actually needs.

03

Plan & Package Guidance

I help you understand the differences between Shopify Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus, what each package is designed for, and which one makes the most sense for your business.

Why Me?

I've learned the expensive lessons so you don't have to.

There are plenty of people who can build or design a Shopify store. That is not what I do. My value is independent consultation on the Shopify platform itself, its packages, costs, capabilities and fit for your business.

I come from the business side. I deal with inventory, orders, customers, shipping, taxes, marketing, promotions, apps, suppliers and the day-to-day realities of running an e-commerce operation.

That means our conversation is not about what Shopify can theoretically do. It is about what will actually work for your business. I have nothing to sell except advice.

02

We Analyze the Options

I'll identify the opportunities, potential problems, costs and practical considerations specific to your business.

Leave With a Clear Direction

You'll know whether Shopify makes sense, what you should consider, and what your next step should be.

FAQ

Questions business owners usually ask.

Do you build or design Shopify stores?

No. I am not a store builder or designer. This service is strictly consultation on Shopify, its packages, features, costs and whether the platform makes sense for your business.

Is this only for businesses moving to Shopify?

No. I also work with businesses already using Shopify that want a second opinion on their setup, apps, processes, costs or growth strategy.

Will you tell me if Shopify isn't right for my business?

Absolutely. That's one of the main reasons to have an independent consultation before making a significant platform investment.

Do I need to be a large company?

No. The important question is whether Shopify can solve meaningful problems for your business and justify its cost and complexity.

Can you help me choose a Shopify developer or agency?

Yes. I can help you define the project requirements and evaluate proposals so you have a better understanding of what you're actually paying for.
