I was at the Evolve mastermind in Morocco 2 months ago.
150 ecom founders.
50%+ already using @Aftersell.
And one thing kept happening...
People kept pulling me aside asking for the exact same feature.
“Can you build _____?”
Not once or twice.
20+ times.
We finally found a way to build it.
First of its kind on @Shopify.
Beta release is coming very soon.
Can you guess what it is? 👀
Update: we killed $2 MILLION+ in ARR...
...on purpose.
Let me explain.
A few weeks ago, @Aftersell launched Earn & Save.
The idea is simple:
As Rokt Thanks creates more value for merchants, Aftersell gets cheaper.
Dollar for dollar.
If you earn $1 from Rokt Thanks, you keep it.
Then we match it with $1 off your Aftersell bill.
Earn $500 from Rokt Thanks?
You get paid $500.
Your Aftersell bill drops by $500.
Earn more than your subscription costs?
Your Aftersell subscription goes to $0.
That means you get paid for Rokt Thanks AND run Aftersell for free.
This is not a short-term promo.
It’s the direction software is going.
The best software should:
1. Pay for itself
2. Align with the value it creates
3. Eventually become free to use
We’re pushing HARD toward #3.
Our goal is simple:
Aftersell should be free for as many merchants as possible.
We’re already $2 MILLION+ ARR into that bet.
Millions more to go.
When I was a kid, I found @Shopify and it CHANGED my life...
16 yrs old: Affiliate for several Shopify stores
17 yrs old: Started my first store on Shopify
18 yrs old: Crossed 1m rev/year on Shopify
19 yrs old: Built first Shopify App, Aftersell
20 yrs old: Passed 1000 active merchants
21 yrs old: Hired our first team member
22 yrs old: Passed 1m ARR on Aftersell
23 yrs old: Aftersell acquired by Rokt
24 yrs old: Crossed over 10m ARR
25 yrs old: Road to 100m ARR
Forever grateful for the platform, ecosystem, and builders who made this possible 🙏
Thank you @tobi and @harleyf
Woke up to 10+ texts from the team...
@Shopify featured @Aftersell in their Enterprise Growth Toolkit!
Really cool moment.
Enterprise growth has been a huge focus for us over the last 12 months.
Not just “does the app work?”
But can it support bigger brands, more complex teams, and way more customization?
We’ve been investing in...
• Strategies: API-first triggers for more targeting control.
• Cart JSX: fully custom cart builder powering brands like Grüns & GOAT Foods.
• Order Browser V2: better monitoring, data visibility, and easier debugging.
• PPU flexibility: super customizable post-purchase flows. 50%+ of DR brands on Shopify use us.
• Rokt Thanks: real ML powering truly relevant third-party offers.
The goal is simple:
Every time a brand gets bigger, @Aftersell should get more useful, not more limiting.
Proud to see our team’s relentless grind recognized.
Really appreciate the shoutout @Shopify!
+1, Shopify has way more funnel flexibility than people give it credit for, especially when you configure PPU properly.
I see this every day running @Aftersell
The main gap is video, which we’re working on solving.
Prechecked subscriptions / shipping protection are a different story. Too much legal and trust risk, so Shopify (and Aftersell) won’t support that.
You can build a very real DR-style funnel on Shopify, you just need to know the tricks.
That’s on us to make clearer in the product too.
Dropping a full breakdown soon.
Most ecom operators have NO IDEA whether their funnel is elite.
We’re changing that.
Aftersell Insights will benchmark your funnel against 100,000+ brands, show where you rank, and tell you exactly what to improve next.
Comment “Aftersell” and I’ll DM you an early sneak peek.
We’re giving @Aftersell its own MCP 👀
Soon, you’ll be able to connect Aftersell to tools like Claude and analyze your upsells in a whole new way.
Why does that matter?
Because great software is no longer just what happens inside the dashboard.
It’s what other tools can do with it too.
The winners will be the platforms that are easiest to plug into and extend.
We’re rolling this out VERY soon.
What do you want Aftersell’s MCP to let you do first?
Most brands using Rokt Thanks make around $0.30 to $0.50 profit per order.
But some brands are doing:
💵 $0.70/order
💰 $0.85/order
🤑 and even $1.00/order+
Why?
1. Placement
You want TYP + OSP covered at minimum.
That’s the baseline.
The bigger upside comes from expanding across every relevant post-purchase surface.
2. Advertiser coverage
More advertiser demand = more yield.
Keep as many verticals open as you can, and only block what’s actually competitive or off-brand.
3. Customer quality
Higher-intent customers monetize better.
Better traffic usually means higher payout per order.
That is why two brands can turn on the exact same product and get very different results.

If you want to improve performance, DM me your vertical and I’ll tell you where I’d push first to drive up profit per order.
Rokt Thanks feels almost unfair once you turn it on.
No extra ad spend. No operational lift. Just incremental profit.
Go live in 30 seconds.
An easy unlock for Shopify brands... 🔓
ANNOUNCEMENT: Rokt has just paid out over $1 BILLION to brands.
Rokt is a money printing button: Click enable and add up to 10% more profit.
RT + comment "Rokt" and I'll send you a FREE Profit Gap Agent.
Quarterly upgrades are absolutely PRINTING on post purchase upsells.
We’re seeing double digit take rates on average.
The fastest growing subscription brands are already running this play.
We (@aftersell) also just launched native integrations with @SkioHQ, @LoopEngine, and @getrecharge, so it’s dead simple to set up.
If you offer a subscription, A/B test this against your current funnel.
We just killed $1M+ in ARR on purpose.
@Aftersell can now be 100% free for merchants using Rokt Thanks. Every $1 you earn offsets your bill until it hits $0.
Why would we do this?
AI 3x'd our dev velocity the last 2 months.
Building software is getting radically cheaper. If we're not passing that on to merchants, someone else will.
SaaS pricing is shifting: less for access, more aligned to value.
We're going there first.
And eventually, Aftersell will be free for all.
New ad network for DTC ? 👀
Some of the sharpest 9-figure DTC brands have quietly been scaling ad spend on @ROKT the past 6 months.
It’s early.
When it works, it REALLY works.
Access is limited to brands doing $10M+ a year.
If you want in before the crowd shows up, DM me.
Post-purchase upsells don’t need to be clever.
Just offer more of what they already bought, with a small discount.
They’ll stock up.
They’ll gift it.
You turn one purchase into two.
Simple move. Serious upside. 💸
Totally agree with @EcomNizar here.
The gap between standard setups and what’s actually possible post-purchase is HUGE.
Top brands on @aftersell are seeing $10–$20 in extra revenue per customer with the full advertorial experience.
99% haven’t tapped into this yet...
Those who work with you get a serious advantage 🐐
