More 5-Star Reviews Won't Fix What AI Says About Your Shopify Store. Here's Why.
I was on a product page in Chrome the other day and a little prompt dropped down beside the URL bar offering to analyze the reviews for me. Not the store asking. Chrome asking. So I clicked it, expecting a summary of the reviews sitting right there on the page, and that isn't what I got at all. This episode is about what that actually means for your store, and why the reflex most merchants will ha
The Shopify Retention Math Nobody Runs
Why do my Shopify subscribers cancel after the first order? Thomas Lalas has analysed real-time data from more than 2,000 ecommerce brands, and he says most lose up to 80% of their customers inside 90 days. The best ones still lose half. He also found the biggest cancellation spike lands on the exact day you rebill, which usually means the customer never knew they were subscribed. He calls it the
5 Ways to Turn a Basic Shopify Subscription Into a Membership People Actually Want
I clicked the subscribe option on a coffee brand's Shopify store and found exactly one sentence underneath it. Not a benefit, not a reason to commit, just the legal disclaimer, ending in the words "if permitted." That's the most common subscription setup on Shopify by a mile: somebody installs an app, switches on a 10% discount, and waits for recurring revenue that never shows up. In this episode
Hello? Can I Speak To a Human Please? (Why The Biggest Opportunity on Shopify Right Now Isn't AI)
How do I recover abandoned carts on Shopify? Ask anyone at a trade show and they'll tell you the answer is AI. My guest built a company doing the exact opposite. Steve Lequerica is the COO of LiveRecover, where real humans text the customers who bail at your checkout. Baymard says just over 70% of carts get abandoned. Steve's agents convert 21% of the conversations they start, roughly triple what
REPEAT COMMERCE: 04 - How To Improve Your "Second Order" Rate.
🌟 EPISODE 4 OF OUR 20 PART REPEAT COMMERCE SERIES 🌟
Most Shopify stores run the same reorder strategy: one reminder, 30 days after purchase, sent to everyone identically forever. So the customer who bought one bag of coffee and the customer who bought six both get pinged on day 30, when one is out and the other has five months in the cupboard. In this episode I break down why the second order is t
REPEAT COMMERCE: 03 - The Repeat Rate Shopify Doesn’t Show You
Your Shopify dashboard says forty percent of your customers come back, but that number is quietly answering a different question than the one you think you asked. In this episode I pull apart the three behaviours Shopify blends into one returning customer rate, and I show you how to build the honest number underneath it: your elective second-purchase rate, the share of customers who chose to come
REPEAT COMMERCE: 02 - Run The Math Before You Raise The Ad Budget
Episode two of the Repeat Commerce series, and this is the one where retention stops being a vibe and becomes a dollar amount. Last episode you pulled two numbers from your Shopify admin; today those numbers earn their keep. I build a fictional coffee brand on the whiteboard and run the experiment everyone quotes but nobody calculates: what a five point lift in repeat purchase rate is actually wor
The ONE Thing AI Can't Copy About Your Shopify Store - with Matt Edmundson
What's the one thing AI can't copy about your Shopify store? Everything else is up for grabs. AI can clone your site in a weekend, rewrite your product pages, and undercut your ads before lunch. Matt Edmundson has built, sold, and failed at 20+ Shopify and eCommerce brands since 1998, generating over £75 million in sales, and he's convinced the only real moat left is you. With 61% of Google search
REPEAT COMMERCE: 01 - What Number Predicts If Your Shopify Store Survives?
This is episode one of my new Repeat Commerce series, a run of about 20 episodes all about the business of the second order, the third order, and the tenth. I'm starting with the argument the whole series is built on: repeat commerce should be the default way you build a Shopify store, not the thing you get to later. The average new customer now costs merchants around $29 in losses while the avera

Why don't Shopify color filters ever show you the right color? Color is one of the top three filters in all of ecommerce, and most stores still run it on made-up names like "midnight sand" and a box of Crayola tags. Over a third of shoppers use visual search

Where Your Shopify Store Is Leaking Money (and how to fix it)
Why is my Shopify store getting traffic but no sales?
If that one keeps you up at night, welcome to the club. The average Shopify store converts just 1.4% of its traffic, and the glory days of a steady 3% are long gone. Translation: 99 of every 100 visitors you fought for leave without buying a thing. Picture that in a real store and you'd lose it. Online, we just shrug and go buy more ads. This e
"The AI Mirror Test". Become the Store AI Recommends (Before Your Competitor Does)
A shopper is asking ChatGPT for the best product in your exact category right now — and it's about to recommend three stores. Whether you're one of them has almost nothing to do with how good your product actually is. It has to do with whether AI can read your store. In this episode I break down the AI Mirror Test: a 10-minute audit anyone can run today, the one Shopify setting most merchants don'
What's Working For Influencer Marketing in 2026, and How Shopify Brands Are Using "The Influencer Pyramid".
Most Shopify brands have no idea their affiliate program is quietly bleeding cash. We're talking 15% fraud on average, 70% of real influencer-driven revenue going completely uncaptured, and dashboards that are basically telling you what you want to hear instead of the truth. Globally, ad fraud cost brands an estimated $84 billion last year, and a brutal chunk of that is hiding inside Shopify affil
Why Are Shopify Brands Quietly Spending Millions on... Postcards?
Is Direct Mail the Meta of 2016 All Over Again? It might be why 82% of the Top 1,000 Shopify Brands Mailing Postcards 😉. I mean, paid acquisition is essentially broken. Attribution is a fantasy, and your Meta dashboard is basically a slot machine at this point.
So when I started hearing Shopify brands quietly crushing it with direct mail (yes, the thing your grandma still gets), I had to dig in.
Have Shopify Brands A/B Tested Themselves Into Invisibility? Philip Jackson calls it "The Sea of Sameness"
Every Shopify store on the internet looks the same. Same theme. Same apps. Same AI generated copy. Same "premium" product photos. Future Commerce ran a study where they stripped the logos off major retailer websites and shoppers literally couldn't tell them apart. With over 5 million Shopify stores worldwide and ecommerce conversion rates averaging a brutal 1.4%, sameness is the silent killer of y
Run a Shopify Referral Program That Actually Crushes! (And Why Loyal Points Almost Never Work)
Paid ads are not a growth strategy. They’re a coping mechanism. In this episode, I sat down with Raúl Galera, Growth Lead at ReferralCandy, to talk about building a real Shopify growth engine. A referral flywheel that turns happy customers into your most valuable acquisition channel. 88% of people trust recommendations from people they know, and acquiring a new customer can cost 5 to 25 times more
What We've Been Quietly Building The Last Year!
(* Golden Tickets mentioned in the show are linked below)
Over the past 6 months, we've quietly been testing something with 50 Shopify brands.
I believe there is a massive shift happening in the way people shop. I've been noticing it for a few years now. It's happening right before us, and yet Shopify brands don't have the tools to adapt.
Which is why today's episode is special. I'm finally pullin
Build a Shopify Business You Can Actually Sell One Day.
Most Shopify founders think they’ll sell “someday.” Most will never. Only 20% to 30% of businesses that go to market actually sell, which is a fun little statistic if you enjoy pain. In this episode, I sit down with Lexi Grant, founder of They Got Acquired, to talk about how to build a Shopify business that buyers actually want. We break down profit, SDE, add-backs, founder dependency, and why rec
Be Everywhere: Why a Series Beats Trying to Go Viral
I had at least 3 "Aha" moments in this episode. One big one: Stop trying to go viral. Instead, focusing on a "series". It actually makes it easy for Shopify brands to create make fun content, and make it consistently. I loved this concept, you will too!

MicroCopy Magic. Those Little Words Under Your Shopify Buttons That Make All The Difference
Most Shopify stores are not losing sales because their ads are bad. They’re losing sales because of the smallest little words on their store!. In this episode, I roast the innocent-looking “Shipping calculated at checkout” and explain why it quietly trains buyers to expect a surprise. Baymard’s research puts numbers on the pain: around 70% of carts are abandoned, and 39% of shoppers bail when extr
Robots With Pens: How Handwritten Notes Are Turning Shopify Customers Into Raving Fans
Handwritten notes are all the craze! The reason? We are getting worse at the easiest part of ecommerce, making people feel like humans.

Where Did All Your Shopify Traffic Go??
Your Shopify traffic didn't disappear; it just got smarter and moved to AI agents. While you were busy optimizing meta tags for 2015, 84% of e-commerce brands started integrating AI, and the ones doing it right are seeing a 30% higher AOV on orders found through AI search.
If you aren't optimizing for "Answer Engines," you are basically invisible to the modern shopper. I sat down with Nihar Kulk

SHOPIFY EDITIONS: What's Good, What's Not, and What Got Missed?
Shopify just dropped Winter Editions '26, which means you probably should spend time reading the 150+ release notes and try to figure out what "Renaissance" actually means for your margins.
Fear not. I read them so you didn't have to.

🧠 CHAPTER 9: The Modern Buyer Brain: LOYALTY AS IDENTITY - 2030 & BEYOND
Modern Buyer Brain: Chapter 9
The future of your Shopify brand has nothing to do with better ads or bigger discounts. It has everything to do with who your customers believe they are.
By 2030 loyalty will not mean points. It will mean identity.
In this episode, we explore why the next generation of Shopify winners will build ecosystems, status layers, and belonging, not coupon ladders. You wil

Modern Buyer Brain: Chapter 8
What if the real power of your Shopify subscription and membership program has nothing to do with your product and everything to do with human psychology?
Membership doesn't just automate revenue. It automates behavior.

🧠 CHAPTER 7: The Modern Buyer Brain: THE BUYER BRAIN IN 2025
Modern Buyer Brain: Chapter 7
The modern Shopify buyer is not ignoring you. They are drowning in noise. With 10,000 ads on average hitting them every day and endless product options, customers default to whatever is easiest, fastest, and most familiar.
In this episode, we unpack how the buyer brain has evolved, why friction kills conversions instantly, and how status, identity, and alignment with
🧠 CHAPTER 6: The Modern Buyer Brain: THE NEW LOYALTY: BEYOND POINTS & DISCOUNTS
Modern Buyer Brain: Chapter 6
The reason your Shopify customers are not loyal is because you're rewarding the wrong behavior.
Points and discounts were built for a world that no longer exists. Today’s buyers want emotion, recognition, surprise, and belonging. In this episode, we uncover why emotional loyalty outperforms transactional rewards, how brands like Chewy and Starbucks turn small moment
🧠 CHAPTER 5: The Modern Buyer Brain: WHY MARKETING MUST CHANGE
Modern Buyer Brain: Chapter 5
Here is a question most Shopify founders avoid. What if your marketing strategy is perfectly optimized for the wrong era of ecommerce? Most brands chase cheap CAC, tweak ads daily, and underinvest in the customers who already love them. The result is predictable. Growth stalls. Churn rises. Referrals disappear.
In this episode, we unpack why marketing must evolve, how
🧠 CHAPTER 4: The Modern Buyer Brain: SUBSCRIPTION FATIGUE & HOW TO BEAT IT
Modern Buyer Brain: Chapter 4
The real reason your Shopify subscription growth stalled has nothing to do with your product and everything to do with predictable human psychology.
Most brands hit the same wall around six or seven cycles, watching customers cancel even when the product works perfectly. That is subscription fatigue.
In this episode, we dig into why perceived value always decays o
🧠 CHAPTER 3: The Modern Buyer Brain: ACQUISITION = RETENTION
Modern Buyer Brain: Chapter 3
What if the biggest retention problem in your Shopify business is not retention at all, but the customers you are acquiring in the first place?
Most brands obsess over CAC and conversion, then panic when churn hits, never realizing the two are inseparable.
Acquisition is retention.
In this episode, I break down why the customer you attract determines the customer you
🧠 CHAPTER 2: The Modern Buyer Brain: THE SWITCH FROM SERVICE, TO STATUS
Modern Buyer Brain: Chapter 2
What if the reason your Shopify customers aren’t loyal has nothing to do with your service and everything to do with the status your brand fails to create?
Most of us work hard to respond faster, offer better support, and throw in discounts, yet loyalty still slips away. The problem is simple. Service is expected. Status is desired. In this episode, I break down how m
🧠 CHAPTER 1: The Modern Buyer Brain: PLAYING DEFENCE VS DESIGNING MEMBERSHIP
Modern Buyer Brain: Chapter 1
What if your Shopify brand is not losing customers because of churn, but because you never designed something worth staying for in the first place?
Most brands play defence. They plug holes, fight cancellations, and scramble for acquisition wins while ignoring the identity, psychology, and membership experience customers actually want.
In this episode, I break dow
The Modern "Buyer Brain" 🧠 - How Shopify Brands are Evolving to Serve the Customer of the Future.

🤔 Is Your Shopify Store Designed to Convert, or Just Look Pretty?
If you’re not A/B testing your Shopify store, you’re basically running your business on “I think this looks nice.” Spoiler alert. That is not a strategy. Brands that consistently A/B test see conversion lifts anywhere from 27 percent to 550 percent 🤯. Today I sit down with Phill Moorman, the new CEO of Shogun, one of the original Shopify app giants, to talk about why testing, personalization, and
Shopify Growth Secrets from the World’s LARGEST Shopify Agency co-founder: Mac King 📈

Your Shopify Growth Problems Are Math Problem (Wearing Marketing Costumes)
I’ll say it. Most Shopify growth problems are math problems wearing marketing costumes. In this episode with Marc Rodill, we tear off the costume and fix the math. We talk Shopify conversion that still hovers in the low single digits for many stores, 65 to 70 percent of carts that get abandoned, and why retention improvements often drive more profit than top-of-funnel ad spend.

How to get Your Products in ChatGPT. If Your Shopify Store isn’t “Agent Ready,” You’re About to be Invisible 🫥
If your Shopify store isn’t “agent ready,” you’re about to be invisible. I sat down with AI expert, Gavin McKew to dig into how AI shopping agents and Shopify’s new ChatGPT checkout will change discovery, pricing, and conversion, forever. More than half of U.S. consumers already start shopping research with AI, and OpenAI just turned those chats into one-click purchases. Translation: your PDPs are
Are Guest Checkouts Secretly Killing Your Shopify Growth?
70% of your Shopify orders are guest checkouts. Let that sink in. That means 7 out of 10 customers are basically anonymous drive-bys who may never come back, and worse… they’re worth 2–3x LESS in lifetime value compared to logged-in customers. Ouch.
But what if you could give every guest shopper all the perks of a logged-in account without making them create yet another password they’ll forget i
Author of "The Anatomy of the Perfect Website" on: What is the Highest Converting Shopify Site?
Pretty vs Profitable. What makes the highest converting Shopify website?
Your Shopify website is not a piece of art. It is not your personal digital scrapbook. And no, making it “pretty” won’t magically increase your sales. Research shows that design-driven companies outperform the S&P 500 by 219%, but only if that design actually performs. In this episode, I sat down with Rafael Romis, autho

TikTok Shop Secrets to Explosive Growth for Shopify Stores w/ TikTok Expert Jordan West
If you’re still treating TikTok like “just another social channel,” you’re leaving Shopify revenue on the table. TikTok Shop isn’t a toy, it’s a MASSIVE sales engine. Global GMV doubled to roughly $26.2B in H1 2025, and the platform now pushes all Shop ads into GMV Max to optimize for conversions, not vanity metrics.
In this episode, I sit down with Jordan West of Social Commerce Club to unpack
PROFIT FIRST - Why Most Shopify Stores Fail. (It's Not Bad SEO, Bad Products, or Even Bad Marketing)
Most Shopify entrepreneurs don’t fail because of bad products or weak SEO. They fail because of one thing: they run out of money. In fact, 83% of businesses are not profitable, and yet the majority of Shopify stores never stop to address this until it’s too late. In today’s episode, I sit down with bestselling author Mike Michalowicz (Profit First, Clockwork, The Money Habit) to talk about eradica
🏆 SHOPIFY 1% WINS: Your Instagram Bio Might Actually Be Your Most Important Landing Page
Everyone’s obsessed with their Shopify landing pages, but here’s the inconvenient truth: most of your customers never even make it there.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to turn your social media profile into a true “pre-landing pa

🏆 SHOPIFY 1% WINS: A $10 Gift Can Beat $70 in Ad Spend (Plus Almost All Loyalty Programs)
They say loyalty is earned. I say it’s often misunderstood. In this episode, I unpack the hard truth: most Shopify “loyalty” programs are just discount addiction disguised as marketing. Punch cards, reward points, all that jazz? They don’t build real loyalty. True brand devotion happens when you do something for your customer that’s unexpected and unforgettable. With over 70 percent of customers a
🏆 SHOPIFY 1% WINS: Offer vs Landing Page. Which is more important?
You don’t need better headlines. You need a better reason to buy. In today’s episode, I break down one of the biggest blind spots in e-commerce: your offer probably sucks. Harsh? Maybe. True? Absolutely. Too many Shopify brands are obsessing over button colors and layout tweaks, but completely ignoring the real sales driver. A killer landing page won’t save a boring product. But a killer offer can
The VIP Loyalty Strategy That Works, and Why Your Subscription Might Be Illegal
Let’s be real. Subscriptions aren’t just about shaving kits and snack boxes anymore. The Shopify brands that are winning are the ones treating subscriptions like a long-term relationship, not a quick sale. In this episode, I chat with Adam Levinter, author of The Subscription Boom and winner of the 2025 Subscription Impact Award, to unpack what’s working in subscription commerce right now... and w
