Franchi Consulting

I don’t build Shopify stores for a living. I run one.

I’m Ray Franchi, a Canadian e-commerce operator and the person behind Franchi Consulting. My advice comes from years spent making real decisions inside a growing online business — not from selling websites, development retainers or software.

Advice from the merchant side of the table.

I operate a Shopify Plus business generating more than $2.5 million in annual e-commerce revenue. That means I deal with the same questions business owners bring to me: which Shopify plan makes sense, which apps are worth paying for, how to handle inventory and shipping, when automation helps, where costs creep in, and what becomes painful as order volume grows.

I started Franchi Consulting because there is a gap between Shopify’s sales material, agencies that make money implementing solutions, and the reality of operating a store every day. Sometimes Shopify is the right answer. Sometimes a business needs a different plan, fewer apps, a simpler setup, or no migration at all.

What I bring to the conversation

What I don’t do

I’m not a web-development agency and I’m not trying to become one. I don’t sell store builds, themes or software. If you need implementation, I can help you understand what you should be asking for and evaluate the options, but the consulting relationship starts with your business and the decisions you need to make.

Why that matters

Many Shopify decisions look simple until you live with them at scale. A cheap app can become expensive. A workaround can become an operational bottleneck. A plan upgrade can either save money or waste it. My job is to help you see those trade-offs before you commit.

Want an independent second opinion?

My first consultation is $299 CAD and includes a review of your business, Shopify setup or proposed setup, plans, apps, integrations and practical next steps.
