Why We Built BackMyShop: Making It Easy to Start Selling Online

For years, we noticed a growing frustration among people who had great product ideas—but no simple, affordable way to test them online. Starting an eCommerce business shouldn't require upfront costs, complex setups, or a long list of tools. That’s why we built BackMyShop—to help new sellers launch quickly, share their ideas, and start selling online without the traditional headaches.

The Problem with Traditional eCommerce Platforms

Most popular eCommerce platforms are built for scaling businesses. They assume you already have products, a marketing plan, and a budget. But what if you're just getting started?

  • Monthly subscription fees ($30–$80+) before your first sale
  • Complicated setup processes and integrations
  • The need to buy a domain, customize a store, and install apps
  • No built-in way to easily share with your immediate network

For someone who just wants to test a product idea or sell to friends and family, that’s a lot of friction.

Our Vision: Start Small, Grow Big

BackMyShop.com is built for first-time sellers, makers, and creators who want to:

  • Validate their product ideas quickly
  • Share a shop link directly with their network
  • Avoid monthly fees and technical hurdles
  • Focus on making, not managing software

We make it easy to get your first online shop up and running in minutes—with no coding, no apps, and no stress.

What Makes BackMyShop Different?

  • No Monthly Fees – Just a small one-time application fee to keep it simple
  • Your Shop Link, Instantly – Get a unique link to share with friends, family, and followers
  • Built for Testing Ideas – No pressure to scale. Just start where you are
  • Vendor-Focused – We don’t take over your brand—we help you build it

BackMyShop reframes eCommerce as something that should be accessible, low-risk, and even fun to try.

Who We’re For

  • Hobbyists turning passions into side income
  • Creators testing handmade or digital products
  • Freelancers launching merch or small collections
  • First-time entrepreneurs who want to start smart

If you've ever asked, “How can I test my product idea without spending a lot?” — you're exactly who we built BackMyShop for.

Starting small is not a limitation — it's a strategy. BackMyShop exists to make it easy to take that first step.
