Shopify

If you have been following my journey here on this podcast, you'll know that I am a Co-founder at Octillion, a consolidator of digital-first good-for-you CPG brands. We acquire brands with a view to scaling them up. We currently have a portfolio of three brands all powered by the commerce platform Shopify. 

Shopify is the global commerce platform that helps you sell at every stage of your business. From the “launch-your-online-store” stage to the “first-real-life-store” stage all the way to, “did-we-just-hit-a-million-orders-stage,” Shopify is there to help you grow. Whether you're selling scented soap or offering outdoor outfits, Shopify helps you sell everywhere from their all-in-one eCommerce platform to their in-person POS system. Wherever and whatever you're selling, Shopify has got you covered.

Shopify helps you turn browsers into buyers with the internet's best converting checkouts, which is a whooping 36% better on average compared to other leading commerce platforms. You'll also sell more with less effort thanks to Shopify Magic, your AI-powered all-star. I remember the first brand we acquired was running on another platform with quite poor conversions. We made it a point of duty to get it migrated over to Shopify and our checkout conversions doubled. 

What I love about Shopify is its ease of use. I don't think there are any other eCommerce platforms that beat its usability. Shopify powers 10% of all eCommerce in the US. Shopify is truly a global force powering Allbirds, Rothy’s, Brooklinen, and millions of other entrepreneurs of every size across 170 countries. Plus, Shopify's award-winning 24/7 help is there to support your success every step of the way because businesses that grow, grow with Shopify.
