What's getting in the way?

Most sellers don't have a traffic problem. They have a systems problem. Tell us what you're seeing and we'll show where we'd start.

The profit gap

Watch sales turn into profit, or not

Drag the sliders. Gross sales can double while profit falls, because returns, fees, shipping and ads grow with every order.

  • Try “Scaling on ads” to see a busy store lose money
  • Push returns up and watch margin disappear
  • Same formulas as our free profit calculator

Muhammad Awais

Founder, CartKeel

    Who you'll work with

    Founder-led, built on daily operations

    Muhammad has spent more than eight years running e-commerce operations for sellers in the US and UK across Amazon, eBay, TikTok Shop and Temu: listings, pricing, advertising, promotions, account health and reporting, with teams working to daily checklists and weekly KPIs. CartKeel applies the same systems to Shopify stores and to sellers running several channels at once.

    Whether you sell on TikTok Shop, Amazon, Shopify or several channels at once, the work starts the same way: daily checklists, clear KPIs and documented processes that keep the store steady as it grows.

    FAQ

    Questions sellers ask first

    Who is CartKeel for?

    Sellers on TikTok Shop, Amazon and Shopify, typically doing $10K–$250K a month, who are growing but want more control over margin and operations. Earlier-stage sellers can start with our free tools.

    Why the name CartKeel?

    A keel is the beam under a ship that keeps it steady and on course in rough water. We do the same for your store: the account health, listings, stock and reporting underneath, so growth doesn't tip it over.

    Do you guarantee results?

    No. Marketplaces, competitors and demand change, so anyone guaranteeing revenue is guessing. We guarantee clear scope, consistent work and honest weekly reporting.

    Who owns the accounts and data?

    You do. We work through sub-accounts or user permissions you control, and every report, sheet and automation we build stays with you.

    How much does it cost?

    It depends on channels, catalogue size and support level. See the pricing page for how engagements are structured, or use the engagement estimator to scope your needs.

    Where are you based?

    CartKeel is based in North Dakota, USA, and works with sellers across the US, UK, Canada and Australia, with overlap in US and UK working hours.

    What happens after I request an audit?

    We review your answers, reply within two working days, and agree what access and data the audit needs. Nothing starts without a written scope you've approved.
