The recurring rent
$50–70k a year in licence fees, a stack of ten-plus paid apps, and agency spend on patches and workarounds. Normal at $2M GMV — recurring forever, with nothing owned at the end of it.
For GCC brands past $300k online
In the Gulf, every Shopify order carries a surcharge you can't remove — on top of licence and app fees that never buy you anything. We audit what you're really paying, then replace the platform with a checkout and storefront you own for good.
The problem you feel
$50–70k a year in licence fees, a stack of ten-plus paid apps, and agency spend on patches and workarounds. Normal at $2M GMV — recurring forever, with nothing owned at the end of it.
Shopify Payments doesn't operate in the Gulf. So every GCC merchant pays a 0.6–2% surcharge on every single order — just for permission to use their own gateway. $12k–40k a year, gone. No US or UK competitor even has this line.
Your highest-revenue page — checkout — is the one you're least allowed to change. Custom bundles, quote pricing, B2B net terms, local rails: “not possible on this plan,” or Plus plus a stack of apps.
Your customers, orders, and payment rails live on the platform's schema, in the platform's infrastructure, by the platform's rules. Tabby, Tamara, and local acquirers stay second-class citizens.
The reframe
You don't have a technology problem. You have a lease — and a landlord who bills you to touch your own checkout.
The Platform Statement
We reconstruct your annual rent from real invoices, then set it against what you get back by owning the machine instead. Same brand, $2M GMV.
The guarantee. If the audit doesn't find recurring savings or recoverable revenue worth at least three times its fee, it's free. You keep the report either way.
How it works
You never buy “a rebuild” on trust. You buy a receipt first — and only move when the numbers make the decision for you.
We reconstruct your Platform Statement, map every revenue-blocking limit, and hand you the 3-year math of staying vs. owning.
If staying is right, we say so — in writing.
A checkout with no limits, a sub-1-second storefront, native B2B pricing, and regional payment rails — infrastructure you own outright.
Old store stays live until switch day. Rollback to day 14.
Hosting, monitoring, security, backups, plus 2–3 dev-days a month of improvements. Priced to sit below your current app bill.
Month-to-month. Cancel any time.
The honesty rule
Card processing doesn't automatically get cheaper off Shopify — Shopify Payments on Advanced beats off-the-shelf Stripe, and when that's your situation, we'll say so. The savings case rests on the surcharge, the eliminated rent, and unblocked revenue — never on processing rates we can't actually beat.
Roughly 30–40% of our audits end in a written “stay where you are.” That refusal is exactly why the rest are believed.

Two weeks. A reconstructed Platform Statement, a constraints map, and the three-year math — guaranteed to find 3× its fee or it's free.
