About
A founder-led Shopify partner

Founder-led
Built by someone who's run the business side too.
MerchantBase is led by Curtis Hill, who started in ecommerce operations in 2014 — running his own brands past seven figures in combined revenue before moving into full-time Shopify work.
Since then he has served as a hands-on developer for fast-growing DTC and B2B brands. The model is simple: understand how the store and team work, choose the right next step, implement it cleanly, and leave behind systems the team can keep improving.
