Curtis Hill, founder of MerchantBase

MerchantBase is led by Curtis Hill, a Shopify developer and ecommerce professional with 12+ years of hands-on experience.

Curtis started in ecommerce operations, building and operating his own brands before moving into Shopify development and eventually senior development and project leadership for DTC and B2B brands.

That experience shapes how MerchantBase works today: understand the business first, identify what matters, execute cleanly, and leave the team with something they can build on.
