Every Shopify store on the internet looks the same. Same theme. Same apps. Same AI generated copy. Same “premium” product photos. Future Commerce ran a study where they stripped the logos off major retailer websites and shoppers literally couldn’t tell them apart. With over 5 million Shopify stores worldwide and ecommerce conversion rates averaging a brutal 1.4%, sameness is the silent killer of your brand.
In this episode, I sit down with Phillip Jackson, CEO of Future Commerce, to talk about why every Shopify store has become invisible, and exactly what to do about it.
