Another innovative FORSBERG+two Partner we’d like to introduce is Christoph Filgertshofer, a.k.a. “ChrisFil.”
Based out of Munich, Germany, Christoph is the Founder and CEO of ChrisFil, where his roles include store owner, coach, and YouTuber. A true entrepreneur, Christoph has built numerous Shopify stores, gaining business experience through trial and error.
Today, we share Christoph’s story as a Shopify Education Partner. We’ve also asked him some questions about being a FORSBERG+two Referral Partner.
About Christoph
According to an interview with Shopify, Christoph’s interest in social media, digital marketing, and coaching sparked when he was gaming. He realized he could monetize his gaming channel and taught himself how to build a following.
The fact that his channel acted as a space for brands to sell products caught Christophs’ attention. At one point, he decided he wanted to sell his own products instead of promoting them for others.
After gathering a team of friends to work together, the entrepreneurs learned all they could about digital marketing and promoting themselves. Together, they built a store on Shopify where they started dropshipping random inexpensive items.
After hours upon hours of learning and adapting, taking wins and moving on after failures, Christoph and the team had a successful Shopify store. This was when the next opportunity presented itself - people wanted to know how to replicate their success.
So, Christoph started a YouTube channel and signed up for the Shopify Affiliate Program to share his e-commerce experience with a greater audience.
To date, Christoph has worked with brands such as Ubisoft, Logitiech, and King. He’s helped them build brand awareness and boost conversion rates through social media marketing.
He’s also built considerable followings on both YouTube and Instagram, where he provides educational content about entrepreneurship and creating successful e-commerce businesses.
FORSBERG+two is pleased to call Christoph a Referral Partner. We truly value the relationship as we work together to help people utilize Shopify to its highest potential.

Let’s hear what Christoph says about his experience as a Shopify Education and FORSBERG+two partner.
Q&A With Christoph & FORSBERG+two
1. ChrisFil Works in E-Commerce, Tell Us a Bit About What You Do?
Our main focus at ChrisFil is operating e-commerce stores in the DACH region. Using our experience in social media and online marketing, we aim to increase awareness and conversions for the stores in the long term.
Besides that, we have an Education Partner course with Shopify to help aspiring e-commerce entrepreneurs master the platform.
2. What’s Usually on Your Schedule for the Work Day?
After getting up, the first thing on my list is to check Slack and my emails.
Then, I will typically block mornings for larger tasks, while the afternoon is for video recording, interviews, and internal calls.
3. How Did You Land up Working in the Shopify Ecosystem?
At 16 years old, I started dropshipping. That’s when I began looking for a suitable shop system to work with.
Initially, I tried using WooCommerce but was totally overwhelmed by it. I thought about quitting but decided there had to be something out there with a more straightforward user interface.
That’s when I came across Shopify and fell in love right away.
4. Tell Us How You Discovered FORSBERG+two and our Referral Program?
My story with FORSBERG+two is pretty straightforward. I had been using your apps for a while and looked to see if you had an affiliate program. Since I was frequently signing up to use your apps for my Shopify stores, it made sense if I could earn a commission on the referrals.
5. What are Your Favorite FORSBERG+two Apps to Refer and How Do They Help You?
I love OrderlyEmails.
Before I found your app, I struggled a lot with customizing Shopify emails. This was to the point that I even tried to get into Liquid myself. But then I found OrderlyEmails, which has been a massive time-saver for me. The app makes it so easy to design and customize eye-catching emails to suit my needs.
We also use Order Printer Pro for new projects with fewer than 50 orders a month. It’s a free, quick, and easy-to-use app that we enjoy for invoice generation.
6. What App Features Have Been Especially Useful for You?
The Magic Designer is great. It auto-applies your email designs to all your templates. You can also automatically import your logo, colors, and fonts with a few clicks.
7. Any Thoughts to Share on the Installation and Setup Process of Our Apps?
I really appreciate that the apps make both processes easy and straight to the point. There’s no time wasted, and I can do it all myself.
8. There’s a Lot to Know About in the Shopify Ecosystem - Any Advice for Budding Entrepreneurs?
That’s easy - start now. Don’t be afraid to learn from the successes and mistakes in your journey.
9. Any Parting Words for Other Partners Thinking of Signing up for Our Referral Program?
Definitely go for it! FORSBERG+two has got a library of great apps that can help all kinds of stores.
