The team

Four roles every growing shop needs

Built for owner-run stores doing roughly $5K to $50K a month, where the owner is also the marketer, the bookkeeper and the support desk. Start with the one staff member you need most, or bring on the whole team.

Store Manager

Keeps your listings and orders in shape.

  • Checks every listing for weak titles, missing photos and thin descriptions, then drafts fixes for you to review one by one
  • Watches stock and flags items about to run out
  • Sends one short daily list of what needs your attention

You approve anything customers see

Bookkeeper

Shows you what you actually made.

  • Sorts sales, platform fees, refunds and ad spend each month
  • Builds a simple monthly profit view, per product where the data allows
  • Flags missing receipts and gaps before tax time

You approve anything customers see

Social Media Poster

Keeps your feed alive without the daily scramble.

  • Turns your products into a weekly post calendar
  • Drafts captions and picks images for each post
  • Holds every post for your approval before it goes out

You approve anything customers see

Review Responder

Makes sure no customer goes unanswered.

  • Finds reviews and messages that haven't had a reply
  • Drafts thank-you and problem replies in your voice for you to approve
  • Sends angry customers and refund requests straight to you

You approve anything customers see

The honest math

What a hire costs vs. what Staffly costs

A good person brings judgment that software doesn't. But for routine store upkeep, here's roughly what each option costs. All figures are estimates; your costs will vary.

Estimated monthly cost of hiring help compared with Staffly
OptionEstimated cost per monthWhat it covers
Freelance virtual assistant$430–$1,300Estimate10 to 15 hours a week of general help. You find, train and manage them.
Part-time bookkeeping clerk (US employee)≈ $1,055Estimate10 hours a week of bookkeeping only, before payroll taxes and benefits.
Staffly$75–$299From $75 a month for Solo Hire (1 staff member) at the founder price (standard $99) up to $299 for Full Crew, the full team of 4. Working every day; you approve what customers see.

How we estimated: Freelance VA: Upwork's published benchmark of $10–$20 an hour for virtual assistants (source), times 10 to 15 hours a week, times 4.33 weeks. Bookkeeping clerk: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics national median wage of $24.36 an hour for bookkeeping, accounting and auditing clerks, May 2025 (source), times 10 hours a week, times 4.33 weeks. Staffly: our monthly prices below (Solo Hire at the founder price, up to Full Crew at the standard price).

How it works

Up and running in three steps

No software to install and nothing to learn. You keep running your shop; we set up your AI staff around it.

  1. Get your free audit

    Send us your store link. We review your public listings, reviews and social posts, and send you the three fixes that would help most.

  2. Pick your staff

    Choose the roles you want. On Shopify we connect through Shopify's official staff or app access. On Etsy we work from the files you send, or inside your shop only if you choose that in writing. Either way, we tune them to your products and your voice.

  3. Approve and relax

    Your AI staff do the daily work and send you drafts and summaries. You approve what goes out, in a few minutes a day.

FAQ

Straight answers

What access does my AI staff need to my store?

Only what each staff member needs to do their job. On Shopify we use the official access Shopify provides, such as a staff or collaborator account or an approved app connection, and we never ask for your personal password.

On Etsy you choose how we work. By default we don't need any access: your staff work from the order, listing and payment files you download from Etsy and the review and message emails you forward, and you post the drafts you like.

If you'd rather we make approved changes inside your shop, you can choose hands-on help in writing. Etsy discourages sharing logins and its terms restrict bots and automated tools, so this choice carries some risk to your shop, and you carry that risk. We act in your shop only on tasks you've said yes to, and where Etsy allows it we recommend adding us as a separate team member instead of sharing your own login.

You can remove our access at any time from your store settings, and if you cancel, we stop working on your store at the end of the month you've paid for, or sooner if you ask. We don't sell your data. Details are in our privacy policy.

Will my AI staff post or reply to customers on their own?

No. Anything a customer can see (review replies, messages, social posts, listing changes) is drafted for you, and goes out only after you approve it. Angry customers and refund requests come straight to you.

What about Etsy's new rules on AI?

In October 2026 Etsy tightened its AI rules. Listings made by bots with no human involvement aren't allowed, every listing needs real human input, AI can't write the patterns, recipes or instructions you sell, and most listings need at least one unedited photo of the real item.

We built our Etsy help around those rules. Our staff draft, and you read, edit and approve each listing yourself, one at a time. We never bulk-publish listings, never write the instructions in a pattern or recipe you sell, and never make or change your product photos. If an item itself was made with AI, Etsy requires you to say so in the listing, and we'll remind you when it applies.

What can't Staffly do?

They don't give tax, legal or financial advice. The Bookkeeper organizes your numbers so you or your accountant can use them; it doesn't file taxes. Your AI staff don't make or ship your products, take phone calls, issue refunds, spend money for you or change prices without your OK.

They also make mistakes sometimes, which is why you approve everything that matters before it happens.

Is there a contract? Can I cancel?

No long contract. It's month to month, and you can cancel anytime from the billing portal linked in your receipt, or by replying to any email from us. Your AI staff stop working at the end of the month you've paid for.

What does the founder price ask of me?

For our first 10 shops, Solo Hire (1 staff member) is $75 a month instead of $99, and Dynamic Duo (2 staff members) is $150 instead of $199. Full Crew stays at the standard $299. In return we ask for an honest testimonial once you've used Staffly for a while, in your own words, good or bad. If it isn't helping, tell us that too. That feedback is the point.

Do you work with platforms other than Shopify and Etsy?

We're starting with Shopify and Etsy sellers. If you sell somewhere else too, mention it in your audit request and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

Is this a staffing or recruiting agency?

No. Staffly doesn't place people in jobs. It's software: AI assistants that handle routine store work, with you approving the results.
