Email open rates average 20%. SMS open rates are 98%. If you're not running SMS for your Shopify store, you're leaving revenue on the table — and you're losing ground to competitors who figured this out two years ago. This review covers Postscript: what it
The average Shopify brand running paid ads wastes 23% of their budget on channels that aren't actually converting. Triple Whale fixes that. This review covers what Triple Whale actually does, whether the attribution is reliable, and whether the $129/month price tag is justified for your operation. Want

Most Shopify stores lose 60–70% of abandoned cart revenue because their email tool wasn't built for ecommerce. Kit was. If you're running a Shopify brand and you're still on Mailchimp or a generic ESP cobbled together from a startup's free tier,

Gorgias is the gold standard for Shopify customer support. Full review: features, pricing, pros/cons, and who should use it.
Postscript
If someone told us two years ago that email and SMS would account for more than half our revenue, we'd have said that sounds optimistic. Now we'd say it sounds conservative. These two channels — done right — are the most reliable revenue levers in ecommerce. Most stores
Shopify
When we started building the AI Stack Brief store, one decision came before everything else: the platform. Not the email tool. Not the chat widget. The foundation. Because every tool you layer on top of it either integrates cleanly or fights you — and after trying alternatives, Shopify is the only
Gorgias
Customer support is where most ecommerce growth strategies quietly fall apart. You scale traffic, you scale orders, and then you scale tickets — except tickets don't scale like the other two. Without the right infrastructure, you end up with a support backlog that costs you reviews, repeat buyers, and

We used MailChimp for about eight months. It did what it promised: sent emails, tracked opens, showed us a dashboard that felt productive. Then we switched to Klaviyo, and within 60 days we understood that we had been flying blind. MailChimp is a broadcast tool. Klaviyo is a behavior engine.

Most ecommerce stores have email figured out — or at least they've started. A Klaviyo account, some flows running, a welcome series. Good. Now ask yourself: what percentage of your revenue comes from SMS? If the answer is zero, or 'we tried it once,' you're
Gorgias
'The helpdesk that pays for itself' isn't marketing language — it's how we actually think about Gorgias after a year of using it. Most software costs money and saves time. Gorgias does both of those things, and then does something most support tools don'
Klaviyo
'No developer needed' is one of those phrases that gets thrown around so often it loses meaning. But in Klaviyo's case, it's actually the point — and it was a significant factor in why we chose it. We're not engineers. We needed email
Tidio
'Traditional support' for most small and mid-size ecommerce brands means a shared Gmail inbox, a Slack channel for escalations, and a team of people manually answering variations of the same fifteen questions. We know this because that's what we were doing. It works until it doesn&
