At Buddify, we love seeing how our users turn powerful features into real business results. We recently sat down with Emma, the founder of a sustainable skincare brand on Shopify, to hear how Buddify has impacted her store’s growth through cross-selling.

Buddify Team: Thanks so much for joining us today! Can you start by telling us a little bit about your store and what led you to try Buddify?

Emma:
Absolutely! I run a small-batch, eco-conscious skincare brand based in California. We sell mostly through our Shopify store, and I was looking for ways to grow without sinking more money into ads. I stumbled upon Buddify and was intrigued by the idea of cross-selling with other stores—especially ones that share our values.

Buddify Team: What made Buddify stand out to you compared to other Shopify apps?

Emma:
Most cross-sell apps just recommend my own products to my own customers, which is fine but limited. Buddify stood out because it lets other stores actually sell my products in their stores, and I can do the same with theirs. It felt more like a partnership than just a tool.

Buddify Team: How was the setup process for you?

Emma:
Super easy. I connected my Shopify store, selected which products I wanted to list on Buddify, and set my partner discount. That was it. The whole thing took maybe 10 minutes, and I didn’t need any tech support—which is rare for me!

Buddify Team: Have you seen any results since you started using Buddify?

Emma:
Yes! Within the first month, I was listed in five partner stores, and we started getting orders I wouldn’t have otherwise gotten. One store even reached out to collaborate more closely. I’d say Buddify helped increase our monthly revenue by about 20%—and that was just from passive cross-sells.

Buddify Team: That’s fantastic! Would you recommend Buddify to other store owners?

Emma:
Definitely. Especially for newer brands who want to get in front of more customers without spending on ads. Buddify feels like joining a trusted network where everyone wins—you help other stores, and they help you.

Buddify Team: Any advice for other brands just getting started on Buddify?

Emma:
Stick with it. I noticed more traction after the first few weeks as more stores discovered my products. Staying active on the Buddify feed for a few months really makes a difference. Also, be thoughtful about your partner discount—it’s what encourages stores to choose your products.

If you’re a Shopify store owner looking to grow through smart partnerships and exposure, Buddify might just be the hidden gem you’ve been searching for.
