Last year, they witnessed a remarkable 300% increase in retailers using Shopify Collective—a revolutionary tool that allows merchants to sell products from other Shopify stores seamlessly, all without the hassle and cost of managing additional inventory. Here are 3 ways merchants are scaling their businesses with Collective: ➡️ Adapting to a New Generation of Shoppers: Legacy brands are teaming up with emerging designers to curate fresh product selections. For example, buybuy BABY, a well-established retailer for new parents, uses Collective to partner with trendy, smaller babycare brands. They can onboard new suppliers in as little as 24 hours, keeping their offerings fresh and appealing to today’s shoppers. ➡️ Breaking into International Markets: Smaller brands can now access new markets without the daunting challenges of logistics and finance. Powered by People (PBP), a B2B retailer, harnesses Collective to showcase unique, small-batch products from independent artisans in remote regions, connecting them with the U.S. market. ➡️ Tapping into the Creator Community: Stage TEN, a live shopping platform, uses Collective to empower creators by allowing them to sell products during their live streams. This innovative approach has led to a unified shop featuring products from various merchants, giving creators the flexibility to highlight items from multiple brands. Collaboration is reshaping the commerce landscape, enabling legacy brands, independent artists, and creators to thrive together. 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀?

This VP's Secret to Scaling 32+ Shopify Stores Will Surprise You! 🤝 Meet Gabriella, VP of Operations at Shop Hemline, who shared something that touched me deeply as a founder. 💫 "There's nothing like Crop.photo - we will never give up this tool for our e-commerce images," she told me, describing how they manage an impressive operation of 32+ Shopify Plus stores. 🚀 What started as a simple image processing challenge has evolved into something remarkable. Shop Hemline now processes around 60,000 product images annually, maintaining perfect consistency across all their stores. 💡 But what really struck me was seeing how they've integrated Crop.photo into their PIM workflow. They use our tool within their PIM system to bulk edit images, ensure brand consistency using Crop.photo, and then automatically publish to all 32+ Shopify stores. It's not just about image editing via AI anymore - it's about enabling their entire multi-store operation to scale efficiently through automated publishing. 📈 Gabriella shared their journey from managing a handful of stores to running 32+ Shopify stores, handling 10,000+ SKUs while maintaining brand consistency. As a founder, these are the stories that remind me why we built Crop.photo. 🎥 I'm excited to share their full story with you. Watch our conversation here ⬇️ 📚 Want to dive deeper?

"Community-Driven E-Commerce" Tell me that’s not the absolute sauce for the next 10+ years. A full omni-channel strategy that’s going to be the ultimate ‘brand build’ model over the next 10 years. Think about it: -> Make money on the front end—at least break even, setting up for long-term wins. -> Generate market intent—not just chasing sales, but building real demand. -> Build digital products on MRR/ARR subscriptions that align perfectly with the promise of your physical product. -> Those digital products? They improve your unit economics, boost margins, and give your brand more defensibility. Plus, they fill the gap left by declining Meta ad efficiency over the last decade. -> Use your DTC strength to scale wholesale—turn your direct connection with customers into leverage for bigger moves. -> Seed markets rapidly—through grassroots expos, local events, and a real community-driven approach. This model isn’t just a trend. It’s how brands will thrive—combining community, digital innovation, and real-world strategies. Agree? Or is there something you’d tweak?

🚨 Hot take: e-commerce makes brands lazy. Here's why: (And how they can change that.) In the latest edition of Commerce Roundtable event, there was a debate around whether the "e" should be removed from "e-commerce". And it got me thinking 🤔 After all, "e-commerce brands" are businesses—not just "online businesses." For some reason, when a brand opens a brick-and-mortar store, they know they need to do some heavy lifting for it to work: 👥 GET CUSTOMERS: Getting foot traffic isn't easy, and they know that. But they don't just sit and wait. Instead, they: ➝ Hand out flyers ➝ Host an inauguration event ➝ Partner with other local stores, schools, and more ➝ Among many other actions to drive traffic On the flip side, many e-commerce brands rely heavily on paid ads, and have never (or rarely) done anything else to acquire customers. 🤝 PROVIDE GREAT CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE: Once someone comes through the door...it's a big deal! Many people need help, and if nobody assists them, they'll walk away. Need to return a product? No problem. Many brands have neglected customer experience for years, and now they're paying the price for it. 💬 ASK FOR FEEDBACK IN REAL-TIME: In-store staff engage with customers and can instantly ask for feedback on products or experiences. E-commerce brands can replicate this by using live chat support or conducting post-purchase surveys, actively listening to customers, and acting quickly on feedback. 🔄 DISPLAY SOCIAL PROOF VISUALLY: Customers walking into a store can see other people shopping, purchasing, and enjoying products. E-commerce brands should emphasize reviews, customer-generated content, and live product ratings to mimic that “buzz” of people buying. What do you think? Agree? Disagree? Both?

In late 2023, Spacebox Digital took a gamble upon founding. We partnered with Pack to double down on the future of Shopify Hydrogen storefronts by committing to being a next-gen storefront first agency. No Liquid, no old bathwater. In 2024 – our first year – we were ~14% profitable because of this gamble. Needless to say, we are doubling down. We are now growing our offering to include BigCommerce builds on Catalyst/Makeswift – their next-gen, Next.js based platform. We will not look to the distant past of technology for the future of brands that work with us. We will give them the advantage of forward-looking platforms utilized correctly by an experienced, technical team to deliver the edge they need to compete in the marketplace. Technical eCommerce agencies who are not imminently planning for and building around this evolution of storefronts *will* be left behind over the next 5 years on every level. Consider this your warning.
