I joined this program after seeing advertisements about a Shopify dropshipping partnership with high monthly revenue targets ($29k) and a profit-share model (70%-30%). During the sales meetings I was told there was a 90 days or money-back guarantee if I was not satisfied, and that the service fees would be collected from the store’s profits once it became profitable. In reality, right after (and even before) signing, they aggressively pushed for upfront payment and tried to get me into third-party financing. I refused the financing and negotiated payments instead. I paid part of the fees upfront $2,500 cash then another $2,500 a week later at the end of the month $5,000 by credit card. When they requested the remaining $5,000 balance, I pointed back to the original promise that fees would come from profits. Because the store never became profitable, that remaining amount was never paid. I was also required to fund a minimum advertising budget of approximately $1,500 per month, plus other operating costs. This requirement was not clearly explained during the sales process and only appeared in the long contract, which I was pressured to sign quickly. During the first two months the assigned account manager produced almost no results (only six sessions and about $200 in revenue). The company later terminated him. No credit was given for those two months. Around the third month, after seeing only negative numbers in revenue, I requested a refund under the money-back terms I had been told. I received no response for approximately 30 days despite multiple emails, Slack messages, and direct messages. Near the end of that period I changed the store passwords to force them to communicate, Only after that did they contact me. They claimed the refund window had expired ( that's why a month of ghosting me), I asked them to credit the two low-performance months caused by their own account manager, but they refused. Instead of a refund, they offered an additional six months of their services at no extra program fee. I declined that option because it would have required me to continue spending approximately $1,500 per month on advertising while the store was only generating around $200–$280 in revenue. It was essentially more of the same situation, not a real solution. Throughout the engagement (5 months) the store generated only $280 average per month while I was spending approximately $1,500 per month on ads alone. When I pointed out that this was far from the $29k target, they blamed me for not spending enough on advertising. They later suggested that $4,500 ad spend would have been needed — something that was never clearly disclosed before I signed. In the fifth month, after continuous losses, I stopped funding advertising from my personal money and decided the store should finance its own ads from whatever revenue it generated. The company later claimed I “defunded” the store and that this caused the failure. In reality the store was already deeply unprofitable long before that point. When I made payments, some charges appeared under the name Fanbases. An account was created on the Fanbases website under my name without my knowledge or consent. I had never heard of Fanbases, never visited the website, and never created or accessed any account there. Later I disputed with the credit card company the $5,000 paid in fees to make them honor their promise "collect fees from store profits". During the card dispute, it was claimed that I was an unsatisfied customer who had abandoned the account and had not logged in for 90 days. The card company investigated and ruled in my favor, returning $5,000. This is my personal experience with the program

This guy promise to get you a store ( AI e-comers ) profitable or you don't pay until profitable. They got me in a loan before I even get the store. Star paying out of pocket for all the start up in Shopify and since 2024. I only get a couple of sales, nothing profitable like he promised. So I keep asking for updates and what was happening with the store because no sales for a long period of time. He uses Slack to communicate with his team ( really unprofessional by the way ). And now he just kick me of from that chat and no way to find him, no way to get in contact with him or his all lies stars team. Be very careful DO NOT MAKE BUSINESS WITH THIS GUY AND HIS TEAM. He obviously abuse of elder people trying to get a comfortable retirement, he leads us into a predicament. But this fight is not over just yet.

I experienced 12 months with the company, from October, 2025 - October, 2026. This is the first negative review I believe I have ever submitted but then again, I have never experienced a group that does business like Szabo. This review is genuine and my disdain for this company is equally genuine. This company says it uses AI in its marketing and sales campaign. Very likely the only use of AI is generating the positive reviews you see, nothing else. The program they're selling is very expensive, and its sales content, in my view, is a total misrepresentation of how the program really works. DON'T DO IT. RUN. They do assign an "expert" to run your ad campaign. They say something like the ad campaign they set up will start making you money before you start paying them for the program. ALL FALSE. AGAIN, RUN. After 12 months of failure their experts had in utilizing their own sales strategies, Szabo had absolutely no problem emailing me to tell me the year was up and they were done assisting. In my view they are looking for the initial pay day and then, they play games with you until the year is up. There's nothing I can do financially, but I can do my best to let people know how this program really is vs. all its sales puffing. Again, RUN!!!

WARNING WARNING: My Experience With AICommerce and Peter Szabo — Over $20,000 Lost I strongly caution anyone considering doing business with AICommerce or Peter Szabo to think carefully before handing over their money. My experience has been financially damaging, frustrating, and exhausting. In July 2025, I paid AICommerce $14,800 for a “done-for-you” ecommerce business. During the sales process, their representative, specifically told me I should expect to recover my investment within approximately 3 months, and no later than 6 months. He even stated that he had never seen a customer take longer than 6 months to recover their investment. More than 15 months later, I have lost well over $20,000, and the business has never achieved sustained profitability. I purchased a done-for-you service because AICommerce was supposed to handle product selection, advertising, testing, optimization, and business management. Instead, I experienced constant employee turnover, poor communication, repeated failures to follow through, and an exhausting need to chase employees for updates and action. The extensive communication history documents repeated follow-ups, missed commitments, unanswered questions, and a persistent lack of accountability. In my opinion, AICommerce failed to deliver the level of service and expertise I paid for. I essentially had to manage the people I hired to manage my business. I repeatedly escalated my concerns directly to AICommerce’s CEO, Peter Szabo. I have seen Peter respond to negative reviews by suggesting he would have corrected problems had customers brought them to his attention. Well, I did exactly that, repeatedly. Instead of meaningful intervention, I was redirected to other employees, and the problems continued. AICommerce later explained that Peter oversees hundreds of accounts and complaints are routed to the team. That explanation is difficult to reconcile with his public assurances. Another important detail is that our arrangement contemplated AICommerce sharing in the profits once the business became profitable. That never happened because the store never achieved sustained profitability. Yet AICommerce emphasizes that it continued providing services without additional fees, as though that compensates for its failure to make the business profitable. When I formally disputed the outcome, AICommerce pointed to contractual disclaimers, advertising budgets, and the risks of ecommerce. Despite acknowledging that its account managers controlled the advertising budgets, the company cited advertising expenditure as an explanation for the lack of success. Again, they administered my account and had full control of ad spending. According to AICommerce’s own figures, my store generated approximately $12,065 in sales against $14,505 in advertising expenditure, with an overall advertising return of just 0.78X. These figures don’t even include my original $14,800 service fee and other expenses. Despite these results, AICommerce declined to offer a refund or financial resolution, instead proposing to hand over the store and offering additional tools or introductions to people who could potentially manage it for a fee. I recognize that starting a business involves risk and profitability cannot be guaranteed. However, there’s a difference between accepting business risk and paying a substantial fee for a professionally managed service that, in my experience, was plagued by poor communication and inadequate follow-through. If you’ve experienced similar issues, consider filing complaints with the Federal Trade Commission (reportfraud.ftc.gov), your state’s Attorney General or consumer protection agency, and the Better Business Bureau (bbb.org). Based on my experience, I would absolutely not recommend this company.

Sends SPAM emails.

I Did not have a good experience at all! Feel free to sign up for it but I do not recommend it at all.
