Problem: course creators and digital product sellers who choose Shopify inherit a platform built for physical goods. Default themes and funnel flows assume shipping, inventory, variants, and cart mechanics that make no sense for a PDF, a course login, or a template bundle. These sellers end up hacking around physical-goods assumptions to build high converting pages and checkout flows, which is slow and leaves conversion on the table. Named product: Plutocracy Funnel Templates for Digital Info Products, a Shopify plugin delivering pre-built funnel templates purpose-made for digital info sellers. Solution: instead of generic storefront themes, we ship opinionated funnel templates (product page, upsell, order bump, thank-you delivery) tuned for courses and downloads, installable inside Shopify. MVP: a template pack covering the most common digital funnel (sales page to checkout to instant-access delivery) plus one upsell flow, distributed as a Shopify app. Revenue: B2B subscription or template licensing per creator, following the model of the named competitor Plutocracy which shows ~$14493/mo MRR payment-verified via Stripe. GTM: ride the large existing YouTube ecosystem around selling digital products and funnel training, where creators actively teach and search for high converting funnel setups. Growth loops: creators who use our templates for their own stores can be recruited as affiliates, and template-built stores showcase a visible format that other creators copy.

Demand signals are mixed. The qualitative signal from YouTube is strong and current, with repeated content about digital product funnels and future-dated framing (2026, 2027), suggesting ongoing creator interest and learning demand. The quantitative keyword signal is weak and declining: 'ecommerce tools' sits at just 390 volume with -70.8 percent growth. Revenue comparables show a viable but modest verified anchor in Plutocracy (~$14493/mo, payment-verified) and larger self-reported figures from Speedysquirrelhq (~$83333/mo) and Bannerbear (~$81000/mo) that should be treated cautiously given they are self-reported and not all directly comparable in product scope.
Still unclaimed. Pro members can claim an idea and own its build instruments outright.
