When I first saw iAdvize: AI Shopping Assistant I was interested. As a Shopify app developer with over 10 years of experience and 3 apps under my belt I’ve seen many tools that claim to revolutionize customer engagement.
Most are too complex, too basic or just don’t deliver on their promises. iAdvize however caught my attention with its bold claim: AI driven, personalized customer support that can increase conversions.
Why is customer engagement so important?
When I first started working as a Shopify developer over a decade ago, Shopify was primarily geared towards small to medium-sized businesses.
Fast forward to today, and Shopify has grown into a powerhouse capable of handling the demands of enterprise-level operations, thanks to Shopify Plus.
Over the years, I’ve developed successful Shopify apps and custom Shopify themes for clients ranging from budding entrepreneurs to enterprise giants, so I’ve seen firsthand what the platform is capable of.
In this article, I’ll dive deep into whether Shopify is truly ready for enterprise businesses and whether it can meet the complex needs of large-scale operations.
For well over a decade, I’ve helped other ecommerce businesses grow, as a consultant, and a mentor.
During that time, I’ve experimented with countless ecommerce platforms, but Shopify is the one I keep coming back to – and recommending to my clients.
As you’re about to see in my guide to Shopify pricing – it’s not the most “affordable” platform out there – there are definitely cheaper tools with similar features.
As an e-commerce consultant I’ve seen many online businesses struggle to choose the right platform to grow. Two names that always come up in these conversations are Shopify and ClickFunnels.
Both are powerful tools for online sellers but serve different purposes in the digital world.
Shopify has established itself as an all in one e-commerce solution, with a full suite of tools to build and manage online stores.
Adding Cash App as a payment option on Shopify is an excellent way to expand payment flexibility and increase sales.
This guide provides detailed steps, tips, and tools to help you integrate Cash App into your Shopify store, ensuring a smooth experience for you and your customers.
When I first started looking into the best upsell plugins for WooCommerce, I realized just how valuable these tools can be for boosting my store’s average order value.
With the right plugin at my disposal, I can subtly encourage my customers to explore more expensive, feature-rich versions of the products they already love, without feeling like I’m pushing too hard.
Because WooCommerce sits on top of the incredibly versatile WordPress platform, adding upsell features to my site is a breeze.
You run on Wix but want the advanced eCommerce features of Shopify? Good news: Wix and Shopify can connect and you can have the best of both worlds.
This guide will show you how to connect Wix and Shopify so you can use Wix for design and Shopify for products, inventory and orders.

The ultimate Shopify $1 offer is back! If you’re ready to launch a new ecommerce store, you can now access Shopify’s plans for just $1 per month for the first three months.
If you’re familiar with Shopify (one of the best ecommerce platform providers in the world), you probably know they’ve offered this deal before.
However Shopify deals change quickly. For instance, between January 2024, and November 2024, you could only take advantage of the $1 for one month.
More than a decade of experience working in the web development and design space has given me a hands-on insight into just how important the right theme can be.
An impressive theme doesn’t just make your Shopify store look better – it’s the key to increasing conversions and customer loyalty.
The Be Yours Shopify theme, with more than 500 reviews, and a 98% positive rating on the Shopify theme marketplace, is a popular choice for all kinds of merchants.
I put this theme to the test on a demo store, to bring you this behind-the-scenes guide, and help you decide if it’s the right option for you.
Choosing the ideal Shopify theme is the key to creating an attractive, customer-focused storefront that drives consistent sales.
I know from personal experience as a long-term web developer how crucial the right theme can be, but choosing the best option isn’t easy.
Shopify gives companies endless freedom to choose from a range of free and premium themes, both offered by its own theme marketplace, and external vendors.
Unlike many of the other themes I’ve tried, which attempt to target many different store owners, the Layla theme is a highly niche-specific solution, focused exclusively on furniture stores.
I put this theme to the test with a demo store, to discover whether it can really help furniture sellers increase conversions and delight customers.
Finding the ideal theme for your Shopify store isn’t easy, particularly if you’re running a B2B business with a limited budget. Most of Shopify’s free themes are simple, but great for beginners in the B2C landscape. The Trade Shopify theme is different.
Introduced in 2024, “Trade” is a free theme specifically designed for B2B merchants.
As a website developer myself, I can definitely say I’ve seen more advanced theme options out there, but the Trade theme does offer a great starting point to B2B sellers who need access to specific features, such as sign-up forms for wholesale partners, and volume pricing rules.
So, is this the ideal starter theme for your B2B store?
Finding the perfect Shopify theme isn’t easy. Most ecommerce merchants know that the right theme is crucial to earning consumer trust (and boosting conversions).
But there are so many different options to choose from, it’s often difficult to know where to get started.
As a website developer (with over ten years of experience), I’ve had an opportunity to experiment with countless theme options over the years.
The Kagami theme is one I’ve heard about from a lot of clients, who rave about its customization features, and fantastic navigation capabilities.
