Shopify

I’ve been using Shopify (opens in a new tab) for a while now. It’s the backbone of my e-commerce businesses, and I haven’t found anything better for what I need.

Klaviyo

I’ve tried a few options for email marketing, but Klaviyo (opens in a new tab) stuck with me. It's super powerful for e-commerce.

Gorgias

For customer support, Gorgias (opens in a new tab) integrates smoothly with Shopify. Makes managing inquiries easier for me and the team.

Milled

I check Milled (opens in a new tab) for competitor emails. It’s great for a quick browse to get ideas.

Triple Whale

Triplewhale (opens in a new tab) helps me pull all my data into one place. A bit pricey, but useful once you hit a certain scale.

Refersion

For affiliate marketing, Refersion (opens in a new tab) has been my go-to for the past 3 years and handles ~2000 affiliates across my brands with ease. (currently looking at other options that are more affordable, will update findings)

SaaS Tools 💻

I use ShipFast (opens in a new tab) for quickly setting up SaaS projects with NextJS. It saves me a lot of time.

Moved recently from GoDaddy to Namecheap (opens in a new tab) for domains. Cheaper and easier to use.

MongoDB (opens in a new tab) for databases. Quite easy to spin up and use.

Design Tools 🎨

Figma

Other Tools ⚙️

Tool Graveyard 🪦

These are tools I used to use but have since moved on from:

Frame.io

I used Frame.io (opens in a new tab) for reviewing/sharing UGC for my e-commerce brands. It felt super nice to use but ended up going back to Google Drive. Found the price per user a bit too steep for what it was.
