The Silent Killers

Most stores don't have a merch problem. They have a nobody's watching problem.

These aren't edge cases. They're happening on your store right now. The only question is whether anyone notices before it costs you.

Avg. Revenue Lost Per Incident
$4,200 / week undetected
Modeled on a $3M annual DTC Shopify store with 500K+ sessions/year
01
OOS on Featured Surfaces −$700/DAY

Your #2 best seller is sold out and still sitting in the hero of your Best Sellers collection. Every session that hits it bounces. You won't notice for days.

02
Unexplained CVR Drops −$800/DAY

Conversion rate dropped 18% this week. Was it a bad landing page? A theme update? A sold-out SKU blocking the funnel? Without daily monitoring, you'll never know.

03
Wrong SKU in Top Row −$290/DAY

Your worst-performing products are occupying your most valuable real estate — positions 1–8 of high-traffic collections. Every visitor who sees them instead of a proven seller is a lost conversion.

04
No Change Log UNQUANTIFIABLE

Someone moved a product, swapped a hero image, changed a collection sort. Revenue shifted. Nobody logged it. Now nobody can explain what happened or reverse it.

The Cost of Not Watching

The Fix

A trained operator with a purpose-built dashboard. That's the whole product.

The Operator

A dedicated merchandising specialist checks your store every morning. They know what to look for, how to prioritize, and when to act — so you don't have to.

  • Daily revenue pulse — sessions, CVR, AOV, rev/session vs. last week
  • Daily featured surface scan — OOS, low-stock, misplaced SKUs
  • Weekly Top 20 SKU review — are your best sellers actually surfaced?
  • Change log — every edit documented with before/after impact
  • Monday owner report — 5 bullets, read it in 2 minutes
+

The Dashboard

A 6-tab control system built on your Shopify + GA4 data. Surfaces problems automatically so the operator can fix them fast.

  • Store Pulse — real-time revenue, CVR, and session health
  • Featured & Inventory — OOS detection on every visible surface
  • SKU Control — days-of-supply with low-stock alerts
  • Change Impact — what moved, why, and what it did to revenue
  • Bundle Engine + Cross-Sell Map — recs from real co-purchase data
Investment

Less than a part-time hire. More than a dashboard.

Common Questions

Before you ask.

What access do you need?

Read-only. We connect to your GA4 via a reporting API and your Shopify via a staff account with product and analytics permissions. We never touch your theme, checkout, or customer data. We handle setup.

Does the operator make changes to my store?

Only with your approval. We flag issues and recommend specific actions — like swapping an OOS product out of a hero slot. You can authorize us to make collection and merchandising changes directly, or we send you the action and you execute. Your call.

Is this only for Shopify?

Yes. MerchCtrl is built specifically for Shopify stores using GA4 for analytics. This focus is what lets us move fast and keep the price low.

What's the minimum commitment?

Month-to-month. No contracts, no setup fees. Your first month is a trial — if we don't surface clear value, you don't pay. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice.

How long does setup take?

Most stores are live within 3–5 business days. We connect your data sources, build your dashboard, and run the first audit. You'll get your first owner report by the end of week one.

What if my store is too small?

MerchCtrl works best for Shopify stores doing $1M–$10M/year. Below that, the incident costs may not justify the monthly fee. The ROI calculator above will tell you quickly.

Built by Gregg Carey — ecom brand operator who got tired of watching stores leak revenue because nobody was minding the floor. MerchCtrl is the system I wished existed.
