We build, run and pay for your Shopify store.
You supply the products and ship the orders. You keep 60% of the revenue, we keep 40% — and we only get paid when the store sells. Already have a Shopify store? We can take over running and growing it.
- No upfront cost
- We pay the ad spend
- Live in ~3 weeks
You own the products. You own the customers. You own the store and the ad accounts.
We build it
A conversion-ready Shopify store, designed and maintained by our team — or we take over the one you already have.
We run the ads
We set up, manage, and fund the ad accounts — the spend is on us.
We cover the costs
The store build, the apps and analytics, and every advertising dollar are on us. You just cover your own Shopify subscription.
You ship & earn
Your only job is fulfilment. We send 60% of revenue to you every month — and 100% of it in your first month.
Wherever you're starting from
You don't need to be an established brand, an ecommerce expert, or already selling online. You need a product people want and the ability to ship it.
You have products, but no store yet
Maybe you're still researching how to sell online, or you're getting ready to launch. You don't have to learn store building, advertising, and analytics first — we do that part.
Your Shopify store isn't going anywhere
The store exists, but traffic and sales are thin and you're not sure what to fix. You don't need another website — you need someone to run, advertise, and grow the one you have.
You're already selling somewhere else
Marketplaces like Amazon, retail, wholesale, social, or your own site. Shopify becomes another revenue channel — without you taking on the cost and complexity of running it.
The only real requirement: a product that can sell through Shopify, and the ability to supply it and fulfil the orders.
Why would we pay for all of this?
It's a fair question. Here's exactly how we make money — there's nothing hidden underneath it.
We take the upfront risk
The build, the apps, the ad accounts, and the ad spend all come out of our pocket. You're not paying us to try.
We take 40% of what it earns
That 40% is our entire payment. It has to cover our team, the software, and every ad dollar we spent getting the sale.
No sales, no payday
If the store doesn't sell, we've spent our money for nothing and you owe us nothing. That's why we're picky about who we work with — and why we work hard once we say yes.
Not just another Shopify agency
An agency charges you a monthly fee, hands over a template, and bills you again whether it sells or not. We put our own money into the store and stay on the hook for the result.
- Nothing to pay us. We front the build, the apps, and the ad spend.
- Fast from setup to selling. Most stores are live and running in about three weeks.
- You don't have to become an expert. Ads, tracking, apps, testing, and optimisation are our problem, not yours.
- Aligned incentives. We only earn when you earn — our 40% depends on your growth.
From first call to first payment in four weeks
A simple, transparent path. Here's the shape of it — the full breakdown lives on the How It Works page.
Get to know each other
A discovery call to understand your products, your goals, and where you're selling today.
Marketing plan
We map out the store, the positioning, and the advertising strategy for your products.
Build & ad setup
We build your Shopify store — or take over yours — and set up the ad accounts, funded by us.
First payment
Your first monthly payout lands — and because month one is free, you keep 100% of it.
What launching a Shopify channel normally costs
Every other route asks you to pay first and hope it works. Ours leaves you with a Shopify plan to pay for and rolls the rest into one revenue share that only applies to money the store actually makes.
| Cost | Do it yourself | Hire an agency | Build a team | With Goatara |

| Running & optimising the ads | You learn it yourself | $1,000–$2,000+ per month | A salaried hire | Included |
| Apps, tools & analytics | Paid separately | Usually paid separately | Paid separately | Included |
| What it costs you if nothing sells | Everything you already spent | The retainer, either way | The salaries, either way | Your Shopify plan — 40% of $0 is $0 |

Figures reflect typical industry ranges and can vary by business, category, and provider.
You own the store and the ad accounts
We build it, we fund it, and we run it — but none of it belongs to us. The Shopify store and the advertising accounts are yours, from day one.
- The Shopify store is yours — we build and manage it, you own it
- The ad accounts are yours, along with the data and audiences inside them
- No lock-in — keep the partnership as long as it works for you
Let's see if your products are a fit
Book a free, no-pressure call. We'll look at what you sell and tell you honestly whether we'd back it — whether you're launching your first store or trying to grow one that's already live.
And your first month is on us: we take no revenue share at all, so everything the store makes in month one is yours.
