[Ben Sharf @BenSharf]

Biggest announcement in company history. Here it goes:

Platter+ is now live on the Shopify App Store and free to start.

Platter+ lets you optimize your checkout and post-purchase without needing a designer or developer.

It takes minutes to set up and start driving additional revenue:
→ Download the app directly to your Shopify admin
→ Select and configure pre-built checkout and post-purchase extensions
→ Turn them on and see the conversion rate and AOV increase

The checkout and post-purchase experiences are often overlooked, but they��re the simplest and quickest way to drive more dollars from existing shoppers.

We’ve worked with hundreds of brands to address high checkout abandonment rates, struggling conversion rates, and low AOV. All of that has been built directly into this product.

You spoke, and we listened. Brands are tired of usage-based pricing. It’s unpredictable and feels like a tax on success.

That’s why we chose a flat fee pricing model. It’s simple: you pay the same amount, whether you generate $1,000, $100,000, or $1,000,000.

Over 150 of our customers have been using the app for months to drive incremental sales. Most merchants see a sales lift minutes after going live.

If you’ve read this far, we want to make it easier for you. We built the most extensive playbook on checkout optimization, period. 100+ pages, 15 partners, Shopify-endorsed.

We’ll give it to you for free. Here’s how to get it:
→ You MUST connect with me on LinkedIn (I can’t send it otherwise)
→ Like this same post on LinkedIn and comment “Checkout”

I’ll DM it to you.

To sweeten the deal, our team will build you an optimized checkout experience in a 15-minute meeting. If you’re interested, message me, and I’ll ensure you get taken care of.

@theisaacmed Are we gunna hang

As the son of an Israeli and as Ben’s roommate (also first generation Israeli) I can tell you this is the epitome of founder market fit.

A simple app to make his Israeli English read like real English.

Makes communication 1000x easier.

[Ben Buaron @benbuaron_]

Over the last week, I've solven the biggest problem of my life, lol.

I am an immigrant. I make, grammar mistakes, a, lot.

And there are not a lot of things in life I hate more than going to ChatGPT and writing "check grammar"

So I built https://t.co/QseeK2Ebq0. All I need to do is option+shift anywhere on my Mac/iPhone.

It's so funny, and I am addicted.

Try it out. Best on Slack. There is an iOS app as well.

@benbuaron_ Did you use a word that’s not in the English language on purpose when announcing this?

Why didn’t you use Englisher to fix it?

[Ben Sharf @BenSharf]

@SenseiShao @gregmushen Correct

[Ben Sharf @BenSharf]

Is this not the most egregious cold LinkedIn message you've ever seen?

I won't out the guy, but dude, what?

Congrats on the weird brag?

I guess jokes on me because he got a response, but I'm in awe.

[Ben Sharf @BenSharf]

@SalesPsych0 Just feel like you can do that without subtly slipping in you were #1 in the category and sold your biz

@Maxkgs8 🫠

[Ben Sharf @BenSharf]

@Sahalhass Facts

[Ben Sharf @BenSharf]

@Favieedee No and I acknowledge that so I respect him for it hence even responding, but was more so just shocked by some of the strategies out there lol

[Ben Sharf @BenSharf]

@glennonchain Why end the message with letting me know you were #1 in the category and that you sold your company lol instead of being genuine and saying congrats we were both on the list?

[Ben Sharf @BenSharf]

This is good content 😂

[Yossi Farro @FarroYossi]

[Ben Sharf @BenSharf]

@CoryOnBrand I was thinking the exact same thing but didn’t say it out loud lol so I appreciate this post immensely

[Ben Sharf @BenSharf]

@iamdansnow I don’t actually know if he has an X account all I have is an email 🤣

[Ben Sharf @BenSharf]

I refrain from talking politics on social media as a personal preference, but I feel compelled to share this email I received earlier today.

The divisiveness that exists in our world today makes me extremely sad.

Responded to this guy that I hope he finds peace and happiness.

Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but attacking someone you’ve never spoken to just perpetuates the sense of hate in this world that nobody should want.
