Less reading, more doing.
The newsletter tells you what's changing. Plus helps you act on it: every deadline in one place, calculators for your margins and ad spend, a members' feed of UK sellers, and two monthly emails: one on the trends, one on the deadlines ahead.
Four things that make running a UK store easier.
Plus turns the news into tools you can act on, gives you the numbers behind each decision, and puts other UK sellers in the room with you.
Deadline Radar
One live feed for every deadline, fee change and platform update that affects UK sellers, with a full UK ecommerce calendar: VAT dates, Royal Mail price rises, marketplace fee changes and seasonal cut-offs. You can see exactly how many days you've got left.
The Calculators
Three built-in tools so you're never guessing at the numbers: Margin & Profit (cost in, profit per unit out), Contribution Margin (what each product really adds after variable costs) and a MER Calculator that shows whether your total ad spend is working.
The Community
One members' feed where UK sellers swap answers, whether they're on Shopify, Etsy, eBay, Amazon or TikTok Shop. Ask a question and get answers from people who actually sell.
Two Monthly Emails
The Monthly Trends Report steps back from the week-to-week news to look at what's shaping UK ecommerce, in the style of the Pulse Report. The Monthly Deadline Radar lists every date coming up in the month ahead, so you can plan before it lands.
Everything in one members' area.
Check what's coming up, run your numbers, then ask the room how they're handling it.

- TikTok Shop
Has anyone moved from self-fulfilment to FBT? Worth it for a small catalogue?

Before you join.
Do I still get the free newsletter?
Yes, and it stays free. Plus members still get the twice-weekly issue every Tuesday and Friday, with Deadline Radar, the calculators, the community and the two monthly emails on top.
What are the calculators, exactly?
Three tools built into Plus, with no spreadsheet or separate sign-up: a Margin & Profit calculator (cost in, profit per unit out), a Contribution Margin calculator (what each product really adds after variable costs) and a MER Calculator to check whether your total ad spend is paying off.
What are the two monthly emails?
The Monthly Trends Report looks at the bigger picture: the trends we're seeing across UK ecommerce, like a shorter monthly Pulse Report. The Monthly Deadline Radar is a separate email listing the deadlines, fee changes and key dates coming up over the next month, so you can plan ahead.
What's the difference between monthly and annual?
Nothing apart from how you pay. Annual is £39.90 a year, which works out cheaper than twelve months at £3.99.
Which platforms is it for?
Any UK seller, whether that's Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy, eBay, Amazon or TikTok Shop. Deadline Radar and the calculators are useful whatever you sell on, and posts in the community are tagged by platform so you can find the ones that apply to you.
Can I cancel?
Yes, at any time from your account. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for, then go back to the free newsletter.
I already subscribe to the newsletter. What do I do?
Use the same email address when you join, and your subscription is upgraded rather than duplicated.
Know what's coming before it lands.
Every deadline, the numbers behind your decisions, and a room full of UK sellers, for £3.99 a month.
