As Good as it Gets
The very best podcast on e-commerce! I work in marketing for multiple brands and I have learned so much just by listening to a few podcasts. While the podcasts are loaded with tons of useful information and updates in the industry, they are also entertaining and keep my interest. Great work guys!

We’d love to work with Ethercycle!
Hi Kurt, my partner and I have been long-time listeners of the unofficial shopify podcast and we always find the podcast extremely valuable. That's why when we think about CRO - we immediately think of Ethercycle. We've struggled a bit to get in touch via the website, is there a salesperson that we could reach out to? We have a CRO need and the budget and love to work with you! - PROJECTISR

Love the more advanced episodes
Long time occasion listener who loves the more advanced episodes like 403. Had to leave a review when I was writing out of stock product page requirements and the episode literally started talking exactly about that. For what it's worth, Shopify's variant limit of 100 forces devs to fake variants that are actually individual products in the backend. Or that's what we've had to do often

Just what I was looking for
Kurt does a fantastic job breaking down this complex topic into understandable and usable advice. I listen to almost every episode, even when they are outside my niche. He’s also available and very engaged in his private Facebook group and through his website, and his advice has been really valuable to me. I’m a huge fan.

I never thought a Shopify-themed podcast would be offensive
Stopped listening when this obnoxious host and his guest used “Sophie’s Choice” as a metaphor for some banal point they were trying to make. And I realized that most of these guests and the hosts are not the kind of people I want to learn business from … the type of people flogging questionable apps, business-flipping investment schemes, supplements, and the like.

So much value! 👏🏻
Great podcast for keeping up to date on the Shopify platform. It’s skewed towards experienced shop owners and partners vs. newbies. Kurt provides a ton of value! He’s professional and easy to listen to (that other guy not so much). The topics are timely and thoughtful. Always walk away with a nugget of wisdom. Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Simply Put, The Best Podcast for Any Shopify User
If you use Shopify, are thinking of using Shopify, sell to people who use Shopify, or are in any way, shape or form involved in the Shopify ecosystem, subscribing to The Unofficial Shopify Podcast is a MUST. Kurt goes to great lengths to curate his guest list and make sure that the topics covered on this podcast are educational, helpful and valuable. Listening to this show is like getting an MBA in building a Shopify business. Great info that I highly recommend!

If you’re a Shopify entrepreneur, read this …
Running an e-commerce site is incredibly hard. One has to think about how to set prices, how to structure promotions, how to handle customer service, how to deal with returns. And I’m just listing few of the things you have to think about every single day. This is where Kurt’s incredible podcast comes in. As someone who has been intimately involved with all aspects of Shopify over the last decade Kurt understands the ins and outs of running a successful Shopify site. Kurt has worked with hundreds of shopping sites that have grown incredibly fast. Listen to this podcast if you want to learn from the best minds in all of e-commerce.

The only podcast I listen to
I’m not a huge podcast fan in general but I listen to this one because there are always practical tips that help our business serve our customers better and make more money. I found such value in the content that we hired Ethercycle to make improvements on our Shopify site to make it easier for our customers to find what they want. Plus they are engaging and funny!

Too Political
I really LOVED this podcast until they got overly political. All they do is bash Trump. It’s annoying and, as a 18 year old business owner, it gets old.

This Podcast Makes Me Money
I listen to every single episode and learn something each time. From store breakdowns to store owner interviews, Kurt and Paul get into the most important details of owning and running a Shopify store. To the point and useful. In a time where information is key and time is short, these guys deliver.

I stumbled upon this podcast while looking for Shopify advice podcasts. Wow-so much great info from the host and guests. I appreciated the diversity in guests and their knowledge. I would recommend this podcast to anyone just starting their Shopify business.

My favorite e-commerce podcast!
I have a small online business & this is by far my favorite e-commerce podcast! I’ve learned so much by listening to it and I find the hosts really likeable and interesting! I also really love the diverse range of guests and topics covered! As someone with ADHD, I especially loved the episode they had a while back with a guest who also has it and runs a successful business - it was so relatable and also inspiring to me! I’m trying to find the right way to put this, but one of my other favorite things about this podcast is that it doesn’t have the frat boy/bro vibe that’s not uncommon in this space! I just really appreciate this podcast and the work that goes into it so much, so thanks!

Awesome podcast for Shopify store owners!
I’ve been running my Shopify store as a side hustle for 2 years, and just discovered the Unofficial Shopify Podcast and Facebook group a few months ago. I’ve learned a ton from this podcast and I always enjoy the interviews with other small business owners to hear what is working for them!

Really want to love this podcast...
However I cannot stand the back and forth nonsensical banter and small talk. Even if it vaguely relates to the topic, it’s unecessary fluff. SO. MUCH. FLUFF. I cannot tolerate to finish an hour long episode of one I really, really wanted to listen to because 30 min in (HALFWAY THROUGH!!) I realize I haven’t yet derived a single scrap of valuable information. This is not a podcast about Shopify, it’s two people making noise back and forth...whatever little gems MIGHT be hiding among the chatter could be cut down to less than 20 minutes or less, I’d guarantee it. Beyond disappointing considering the ratings.........odd.

Practical Insights
Now that Click and Clack of Car Talk are off the air, Kurt and Paul have picked up the baton of edutainment. The show is always witty, entertaining, and most importantly, full of practical advice for merchants of all sizes. Which, if you listen to a lot of E-commerce podcasts, most tend to be 1) focused on huge merchants, leaving the little guys out of the conversation, and 2) filled with lots of high-level ideas without the practical advice on how to implement. In contrast, Kurt and Paul provide advice that’s universally suited to merchants, and always dialed-in with immediately practical instructions/recommendations. Keep up the good work!

Entertaining, educational and genuinely good guys!
Found this podcast after listening to A LOT of other e-commerce/Shopify podcasts. Immediately began picking up actionable steps for my business. As someone new to Shopify it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the number of possible strategies. These guys cut through that fog with direct simple advice. They keep the show super fun and conversational to. And if character matters to you- Kurt spent some time on the phone helping me optimize my store with some serious game changers and didn’t charge me a thing. No hard sell, no sleaze- just a guy being helpful. Many thanks, Kurt!

Might as well be The Official!
Kurt and Paul have helped me a ton with getting my website closer to where it needs to be. They are both extremely knowledgeable and entertaining to listen to, even if the topics don’t apply to my business or website. Interviews with guests are top notch, banter between the 2 is hilarious, and knowledge potential is through the roof. Keep it up gents! Also Kurt, I’ve got a sweet Drone Operator shirt you might like on my site. Look up Ardent Patriot Apparel.

Always a gold nugget in every podcast
I have been listening for about a year and find a gold nugget in every podcast. (some times just a movie I do not want to see) Finally getting around to write a review to hopefully reward the phenominal effort put into this podcast which is on point to what I am trying to do. Starting a Shopify website from scratch, FunGiftWrap.com. Making mistakes and learning how to analyse the mistakes and learning what next action to take, is information I have gleened from this podcast. Paul and Kurt share their competitors insights along with their own, I also beleive in a world of plenty and we can all grow together. Keep up the exceptional work guys. Mike Drysdale

Best e-commerce podcast
I’ve been listening to the podcast for a couple of years now and can honestly say that this podcast has changed more for my business than any other resource I use. The variety of interviewees that Kurt hosts on the show provides insight into different aspects of all kinds of industries and even at times when I may not feel like the subject matter applies to me, I ALWAYS leave the episode learning something new. Kurt knows his stuff and because of that, this podcast has become a part of my commutes the past few years. Keep making great content, Kurt!

A must listen for Shopify users
If you're a Shopify user, or even an e-commerce seller, the Unoffical Shopify Podcast is indispensible. It's not just the podcast, but the surrounding community, the likes of which can be found on Facebook. If you're looking for your e-commerce tribe, you've found the right place. Most of the podcasts are evergreen, so even recordings from two years ago still hold up.

Must listen to podcast for business owners
When I switched my website to Shopify a few years back, I wanted to learn everything I could about Shopify. Since reading literally sings me a lullaby after the first paragraph, my source of obtaining info is through podcast. I felt like I won the jackpot when I came across this podcast. The amount of information that one can learn from this podcast is amazing. While I’m working in my workshop, I am tuned in and learning. I often fall behind in my work because I need to stop and write down the “value bombs” that Kurt mentions in each episode. I also share a particular episode to my fellow entrepreneur friends that would pertain to their business. Keep up the awesome work Kurt! Angie @ Sky Dreams LLC

Keeping it brief... If you run a Shopify store and you only subscribe to one show, this is it. Kurt is an incredible interviewer and asks all the right questions so we can all learn. Paul makes sure the whole experience is top notch. Easy five stars. Thank you.

Value bombs indeed
Rarely am I tempted to go back and listen to any episode of anyone's podcast. Time is just too precious to retrace my steps. But Kurt racked up two for me in relatively quick succession that I will give a reharken. The live interviews at Klaviyo:BOS were filled with juicy tidbits from many go-getters. The Q4 breakdown with Ezra Firestone is full of practical must-do gold for an ecommerce newbie like me. Great job, and thank you for delivering such generous free content!

PO Box?!
I’ve had an increasing amount of customers upset that we’re not able to ship to PO Boxes. I’ve read many forums, and the only advice Shopify gives is suggesting an app that immediately cancels the order and alerts the customer by email. - This is silly. How can I ship to PO Boxes, or at least in the early part of checkout notify our customers. Thanks! :) - Dalen (SedonaLace.com)

Bootstrapping Shopify Newbie Rejoices!
As a Shopify newbie, I was quite overwhelmed and didn’t know what I didn’t know. Now I tune into Kurt on the reg for insider tips on how to maximize my store. I’ve learned a ton but, perhaps most importantly, I feel like I’ve joined a true community of fellow Shopify entrepreneurs, both bootstrappers and professionals. We are all in this together and thank goodness we have Kurt and Paul to shed some light and make us laugh!

Best Podcast For More Than Just Shopify
Been a long time listener of TUSP and this show brings so many knowledge bombs! Kurt hosts the show in a way that makes you feel that you are right there in the room as part of the conversation. I have gotten so many actionable tips and tricks but even when the show may not directly relate to my business or store, it’s refreshing to hear others’ stories of success which keeps me motivated to grind and push forward more and more. Keep up the great work!

A Must Listen For Anyone Using Shopify
A must listen to podcast for anyone in the e-commerce space. In pretty much ever episode, you’re going to want to make a change to your Shopify store. You’ll learn about little tweaks to simplify your site and lessons about business in general. Kurt keeps things light and straight forward. It’s like getting Shopify advice from a friend, instead of from someone who’s trying to sell you something. It’s required listening for the crew at DinkyDogClub.com.

Best Shopify Podcast Hands Down
I run an e-commerce site on Shopify and I’m telling you Kurt and Paul have the best podcast for Shopify nuggets and all things Shopify related. I get so many tips from this podcast which helps me rise above my competition. The tips and technologies Kurt and Paul review really help me serve my customers better and keep my site updated with the best apps, user focused design and functionality. I love that I get such great info from each episode *and* I am entertained at the same time. They make it fun and informative. I’ve also worked with Kurt and Paul in redesigning my site. They are super easy to work with not to mention the brightest in this space. I can’t recommend their podcast or services enough!

I listen to this podcast every week. If you are new to e-commerce, there is a lot of usefull information here. If you feel like you are advanced, there are still nuggets of information you can takeway from virutally every episode, or at least confirm and re-enforce that you are doing the right thing. Our site is not on Shopify, but most of the content is still relevant and useful, you just might have to do more than just click a button or install an app to take some actions.

Beyond Shopify, this is about Business Learning
Kurt is so real. I have been listening to his Podcast's for a few years now. I have learned so many awesome nuggets of business gold. He interviews a variety of company leaders but my most favorite podcast is his talk with Paul Jarvis - Bigger isn't always better and intro to Paul's new book - Company of One. Pure brilliance. Everyone talks about scaling startups. But why not startup small and keep it small. I have been a company of one for 8 years but I partner with other successful entrepreneurs when it makes business sense. You have to add Kurt's podcasts to your must listen list. It's about business and learning and listening.

This is the best ecommerce podcast I’ve listened to! Kurt’s incredibly knowledgeable and the variety/quality of guests is great. I’ve learned so much as a relatively new online shop owner. The only downside is I feel like I have a million more things to think about/implement after each episode! Keep it up, Kurt!

This podcast has great info for Shopify store owners. I don't really want to let others know, but I figure that I owe them a 5-star review. It's a podcast about all aspects of owning and operating a Shopify store, from marketing to Shopify themes to SEO. There's really not much self-promotion on this podcast - it's genuinely informative, and the host (Kurt) obviously is passionate about ecommerce. I look forward to speaking with the people behind the podcast in person.

This show has made me tons of money!!!!
I started using Shopify about 6 months ago. I had worked on other platforms before but Shopify was totally new to me. Now I love Shopify, but it was a bit of a struggle until I started listening to Kurt’s podcast. He gives away so many awesome tips and has such actionable advice. I feel like each show makes my Shopify store an extra $1000. Now I have even hired Kurt on several web development projects and him and Paul Reda are freaking awesome to work with. They installed a currency calc on my site that has been killing it! Thanks so much guys and keep up the good work. So surprised you only have 26 reviews so far. I think it is just hard to find where you can review on iTunes.

Arriola's interview was great!
Dan Arriola actually was pretty great. As a small business owner these questions arrive very soon, and actually explaining what should be done and how it can be done is actually pretty cool. It's good that he explains it in terms people like me can understand. He doesn't go the usual way of going with complex terms instead he explains in ways regular entrepreneurs will understand. It's nice he shows how fulfillment will eventually open up more time for me so that in term I can spend that time growing my small business into a big business which is what we all want. The questions where also great as well since they are very honest on asking the types of inquiries regular business owners will have when considering fulfillment.

Awesome source of ecommerce knowledge!
Although this podcast is great for Shopify merchants, it's really much broader in scope and covers lots of critical issues that ANY ecommerce entrepreneur needs to understand. Listen to every single episode at least twice.

- Secrets from a $100M Ecom EntrepreneurEntrepreneur Nick Mertz on Challenges of E-commerce, In-House Operations, and Hiring the Right People. Today's episode of The Unofficial Shopify Podcast brings you Nick Mertz, the reclusive yet unstoppable e-commerce juggernaut behind $100 million in revenue. This unstoppable entrepreneur has generated over $100 million in revenue with ventures like Rugged Apparel, Adam's Polishes, and Pins & Aces. How does he do it? Discover his strategies for hiring, in-house operations, and mastering growth. Timestamped overview [00:01:21} Podcast featuring successful e-com entrepreneur Nick, discussing challenges and successful ventures, including Leno's Garage. [00:04:38} Started e-com business in college selling survival bracelets, sold it after a few years. [00:08:59} Starting an e-commerce business does not require a lot of money. Differentiation is key to success in a competitive market. Validating the idea is important before starting. [00:12:21} Stick with it, have grit, and don't expect overnight success. One mannequin company survived the 2008 recession while 90% of competitors went out of business. Some products have TikTok booms, but persistence is necessary to turn it into a business. [00:13:50} Two successful products: beer sleeve and liquor stick, with a focus on innovation and marketing. Dealing with copycats involves legal action. [00:20:39} Small brand collab with Bud Light - no license, no royalty, just make cool stuff and use it. Unlimited beer sent. Those brand collabs legitimized the brand leading to other collabs. Some licensed stuff, like NCAA. [00:24:38} Starting as a side project, Pins and Aces grew to become a real business by hiring key people while maintaining a fun culture. Hiring slowly and firing quickly is important for building a strong team. [00:27:19} Employees have equity in the company and a bonus program; giving opportunities for growth leads to retention. [00:33:55} DIY approach has drawbacks like lost packages, missing inventory, shipping wrong item, but offers personal touch and control over shipping experience. [00:38:58} New products, collaborations, growing brands, relaunching Hooga Lab, and moving to a new building. [00:41:33} Stay focused on your product and niche, even if it doesn't sell immediately. Grinding it out for at least 6 months can lead to success.

- Can Cashback Rewards Save Ecommerce from Discount Addiction?Here's how I shop from a new brand. I see an ad on Facebook, I click through, if the site is on Shopify and looks legit, maybe I'll buy. When I do buy, I'm going to wait until I'm on my desktop so that I can use a browser extension to painlessly check for coupon codes and apply the best one. Every single time. The bigger the discount, the bigger the dopamine hit, the more likely I am to buy. That's the truth. I can only do this because I know brands are just as addicted to coupon codes as Iam. We're joined by Oren Charnoff, Cofounder and CEO, at Fondue based in Tel Aviv. Fondue just raised $11m to replace every coupon code with CashBack. Prior to cofounding Fondue, Oren was on the founding team at Hanaco Ventures, a now $1.5B VC fund based in TLV and NY. Oren is a long time listener, first time caller into the podcast!
