12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Being looped in late on critical platform issues, after decisions are made or fires start

The situation this course is for

High-impact work gets rerouted through generalists or external consultants because there's no clear internal owner for complex Shopify scenarios, even though you have the depth to resolve them immediately.

Who this is for

Senior platform practitioner at a high-growth commerce company, certified in Shopify Plus, regularly consulted on edge cases but not formally designated as escalation point

Who this is not for

Junior admins, storefront designers, or agencies managing multiple clients without deep technical ownership of one platform

What you walk away with

  • A documented escalation triage protocol used by senior platform leads
  • Clear criteria for when to accept, redirect, or escalate incoming peer requests
  • Templates for rapid diagnosis of checkout, flow, and API-limit blockers
  • Playbook for escalating upward with confidence when needed
  • Patterns to anticipate and prevent recurring cross-team friction points
