The top 1% of stores on Shopify make close to 99% of all the revenue on Shopify. If you sell on Shopify, this is THE show you need to understand exactly what it takes to get into the top 1%, and actionable advice on how to do it!
I’m Jay Myers and I’ve been selling online since 1998. I’ve built multiple million dollar ecommerce businesses and in 2009 I moved one of them to Shopify. In 2012 we launched our first apps on Shopify and co-founded Bold Commerce. Over 800,000 Shopify stores have used our apps, we grew to over 400 people, and Bold quickly became one of the biggest partners Shopify has ever had.
As a merchant all my life myself, I’m passionate about helping other merchants scale their business on Shopify. This show is 100% focused on exactly that - Actionable advice, from the best Shopify experts on strategies and clear tactics to help you rapidly grow your Shopify business.

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. If you run a Shopify store and like money, this is your episode. Expect simple moves that compound, international wins you can copy, and a “drunk uncle” usability test you’ll wish you tried sooner.
Key Take-aways
Focus on numbers over noise, start with profit, contribution margin, and cash conversion cycle
Deaverage your data by cohort, product, and channel to find the actual profit drivers
Align ads to landing pages and product detail pages so the promise matches the page
Use the “drunk uncle test” to spot obvious friction in your Shopify buying journey
Stack trust on every step, from ad to checkout, with proof, policies, and plain language
Mine backend profit with post-purchase offers, reorders, and partnerships instead of only top-funnel spend
Make international your easiest win, copy what already works and localize only what matters
Speak in the customer’s words, use FAQs and objections to write copy that converts
Build dashboards you’ll actually use, one KPI per view, and tie every metric to a decision
Think in systems, not hacks, so small 1 percent improvements compound across your Shopify funnel

I’ve tried them all and Omnisend is hands down the easiest way to set up email and sms automations and campaigns, leverage segmentation to personalize them, and A/B test everything to optimize conversion. The push notifications and gamified email collection tools are just the icing on the cake 🤌
