Why 150,000+ Shopify merchants and marketers read the Zipify newsletter

Tactical, not theoretical
Playbooks you can ship this week — not 280-character takes from people who've never run a store.
Operator-tested
Written by the team running funnels for $1M+ Shopify stores. The same playbook our Plus clients pay for.
Weekly, no fluff
One short tactical email every Tuesday. 150,000+ Shopify merchants and marketers already read it.
"

We scaled to $200 million not by spending more, but by getting more from the same traffic.

Better engagement, better retargeting, better conversion rates, better AOV — that's where the real money is.

Quick Takeaways
  • Post-purchase upsells convert 5–10× higher than cart upsells because the buying decision has already been made.
  • Offer sequencing matters more than offer count — the first upsell sets the tone for everything after.
  • Most stores test the wrong variables. Lead with offer/price, not headline copy.
