Seamlessly integrates with Shopify.
You can easily see what customers you are speaking with + what they have ordered and when.
@Shopify @klaviyo @Yotpo @ReConvert_App @luckyorange @BeProfit_co @bold_commerce @ZoorixHQ @gorgiasio Automation: @zapier
Saves hundreds if not thousands of hours by automating emails, order updates, new orders notifications, and more.
@Shopify @klaviyo @Yotpo @ReConvert_App @luckyorange @BeProfit_co @bold_commerce @ZoorixHQ @gorgiasio @zapier Team communication: @SlackHQ
Not sure why some are not a fan.
IMO - it's the best software on the market and not even close.

👉 Shopify Payments
👉 Klarna: @klarna
👉 Affirm: @affirm
If you prefer getting your funds locked up every week, then I suggest @PayPal , otherwise, steer clear.
@Shopify @klaviyo @Yotpo @ReConvert_App @luckyorange @BeProfit_co @bold_commerce @ZoorixHQ @gorgiasio @zapier @SlackHQ @Klarna @Affirm @PayPal Calendar bookings: @Calendly
Easy way to block off time, create group meetings that work for numerous people, and I love how it integrates with numerous calendars.
The questionnaire feature and automated meeting reminders are excellent.
@Shopify @klaviyo @Yotpo @ReConvert_App @luckyorange @BeProfit_co @bold_commerce @ZoorixHQ @gorgiasio @zapier @SlackHQ @Klarna @Affirm @PayPal @Calendly Banking: @Wise
Low FOREX Fees. Can pay employees overseas in 2-3 days. Receive payouts fast.
I don't even have a normal bank for my bus. Just Wise.
@Shopify @klaviyo @Yotpo @ReConvert_App @luckyorange @BeProfit_co @bold_commerce @ZoorixHQ @gorgiasio @zapier @SlackHQ @Klarna @Affirm @PayPal @Calendly @Wise Corporate Investing: @IBKR
Excellent platform. Low fees, and day-trading features if you wish.
@Shopify @klaviyo @Yotpo @ReConvert_App @luckyorange @BeProfit_co @bold_commerce @ZoorixHQ @gorgiasio @zapier @SlackHQ @Klarna @Affirm @PayPal @Calendly @Wise @IBKR Credit Card:
@AmexBusiness for domestic business/living expenses + travel. Very high FOREX fees (2.7%) so cannot submit POs on it.
Jeeves for everything else.
0 Forex fees, solid cashback, and the ability to make unlimited virtual cards under 1 parent card.
@Shopify @klaviyo @Yotpo @ReConvert_App @luckyorange @BeProfit_co @bold_commerce @ZoorixHQ @gorgiasio @zapier @SlackHQ @Klarna @Affirm @PayPal @Calendly @Wise @IBKR @AmexBusiness Presentation + banner creation: @canva
The platform has come a long way.
Can create beautiful business proposals and presentations. Can even record them on Canva itself.
Obviously great for making sales/promo banners, logos, etc.

Semrush has added some cool features that Ahrefs does not have.
But IMO for DA rankings, general keyword & backlink research, it still is not close; Ahrefs takes the cake.
@Shopify @klaviyo @Yotpo @ReConvert_App @luckyorange @BeProfit_co @bold_commerce @ZoorixHQ @gorgiasio @zapier @SlackHQ @Klarna @Affirm @PayPal @Calendly @Wise @IBKR @AmexBusiness @canva @hootsuite @ahrefs Advertising Analytics: Google Analytics & Data Studio
