Shero Commerce alternative: a CRO team focused on your paid traffic
Shero Commerce is a full-service Shopify Plus agency, and CRO is one of the things it does alongside development, migrations, system integrations and marketing. ClickMint is different: a done-for-you CRO agency that does one job, turning the paid traffic you already buy into more revenue, with performance-based pricing.
If you're comparing the two, you've probably decided conversion work is worth paying for. The next question is whether you want CRO as part of a wider Shopify partnership, or a team dedicated to what your paid visitors see after the click.
Both are reasonable choices. This page sets out what each company says it does, so you can pick the one that fits.
The short answer
Shero Commerce
Choose Shero Commerce if you want one Shopify partner for development, migration, system integrations, marketing and CRO.
ClickMint
Choose ClickMint if you're a DTC brand typically doing $200k+/mo in online sales with $15k+/mo in ad spend, and you want a team focused only on turning paid traffic into revenue, with performance-based pricing.
How each one works
Shero Commerce: a full-service Shopify Plus partner with a CRO practice
Shero Commerce says it was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Red Hook, New York, with offices in London, Helsinki and Tirana. It's listed as a Platinum Partner in the Shopify Partner Directory, and it says its team has 65+ members and has delivered 500+ projects. Its services span Shopify development and migrations, ERP, OMS, WMS, PIM and CRM integrations, and performance marketing across paid media, SEO, CRO, email, SMS and loyalty.
For CRO, Shero describes a five-step program: a conversion audit, a prioritized test roadmap, A/B test setup and management, analysis and iteration, and a monthly performance review. Shero says each test is defined with a hypothesis, the element being tested, the success metric and the minimum traffic needed, and runs for 2 to 4 weeks or until a clear winner emerges. It says its UX designers and Liquid developers work on the same team and implement winning variants, and that it tests checkout flows on Shopify Plus with Checkout Extensibility.
Shero gives 1,000 monthly visitors per variant as a workable minimum for A/B testing, and says it focuses on qualitative research for lower-traffic stores. It says it now focuses exclusively on Shopify, while still supporting some clients on Magento, WooCommerce and BigCommerce. Shero doesn't publish prices. It says it prices projects at a fixed scope rather than by the hour, and offers monthly retainers with defined hours for ongoing work. It says ongoing CRO work is included in its Shopify support plans, which it scopes at 10 to 20 hours a month (Core), 20 to 40 (Plus) or 50+ (Pro).
How ClickMint works
ClickMint is a done-for-you CRO agency for DTC brands that grow on paid traffic, typically doing $200k+/mo in online sales with $15k+/mo in ad spend. The managed service is what you buy. Your team reviews and approves the work instead of doing it.
- Setup. Your team adds one lightweight snippet. We don't need access to your store, and read access to your analytics is optional.
- Diagnose. We look channel by channel at where paid visitors drop off after the click.
- Design. We turn each issue into a test variant for the pages that traffic lands on.
- Test. Every variant runs as an A/B test against a control and is judged on revenue per user and conversion rate. Our typical time from issue to live test is about 3 hours.
- Scale what wins. If a variant doesn't beat the control, it doesn't go any further.
You get plain-English reporting on what won, what lost and what's next. ClickMint is built for Shopify brands, and it also works with WooCommerce and Adobe Commerce. The vast majority of our brands sell on Shopify.
