Shopify agency: stores, themes and apps

Shopify takes care of hosting, updates and security – we make sure your store still doesn’t look like everyone else’s. We set up Shopify stores, customise themes, connect inventory systems and marketplaces and build whatever the App Store doesn’t offer.

Migration to Shopify

Products, customers, orders and redirects – so rankings and regular customers survive the move.

Shopify: easy to run, flexible to extend

Shopify is one of the most popular platforms for online stores. Shopify takes care of hosting, security and updates, and with the theme editor you change content and layouts yourself. That makes Shopify ideal for merchants who want to focus on selling.

Shopify shows its real strength when theme, apps and integrations work together cleanly. We know the platform from the Liquid template to the API and make sure your store loads fast, gets found and does exactly what your business needs.

What we build for your Shopify store

  • Setup: payments, shipping rules, taxes, legal texts and unit prices for Germany and the EU
  • Theme development: customisations in Liquid and custom sections you maintain yourself in the theme editor
  • Apps: choosing the right apps, removing unnecessary ones and building custom apps
  • Integrations: inventory systems, ERP, PIM such as Akeneo, shipping providers and marketplaces
  • Selling internationally: several languages, currencies and countries with Shopify Markets
  • Checkout and discounts: customising checkout and discount logic as far as your Shopify plan allows
  • Speed and SEO: lean themes, optimised images and a clean structure for shop SEO

“With us, you talk directly to the person who builds your project – no sales layer in between.”

How your Shopify store is built

Step 1: Call and concept

We talk about your range, your customers and your processes – and clarify which Shopify plan and which apps you really need.

Step 2: Design and theme

We choose a theme as the basis or build sections to your design and set up product pages, collections and the home page.

Step 3: Data and integrations

We import products and customers, connect inventory and shipping and test every order path.

Step 4: Launch and growth

After launch, we measure what works and keep developing the store – with new features, campaigns and tests.

Fewer apps, more speed

Many Shopify stores get slower over time because apps pile up, load extra scripts and cost money every month. We review your store, remove what isn’t needed and, where it makes sense, replace several apps with one lean custom solution. That saves loading time and running costs.

Shopify or WooCommerce?

We build for both systems and have no reason to talk you into either. Shopify fits if you want little technology to deal with and can plan well with monthly fees. WooCommerce fits if you want full control, custom features without platform limits and no platform fees. You’ll find the full comparison in our guide WooCommerce vs. Shopify.

Frequently asked questions

Find more answers in our FAQ.

What does a Shopify agency do that I can’t do myself?

Setting up a Shopify store is quick. Making it sell takes more: a theme that fits your brand, a clean product structure, legally sound settings for your markets, fast loading times and integrations with your other systems. That’s where we help – and we write code where apps reach their limits.

Can you customise my existing theme?

Yes. We customise themes in Liquid and build custom sections and blocks you can edit yourself in the theme editor. We develop changes in a copy of the theme, so your live store isn’t affected.

Do you build custom Shopify apps?

Yes. If there’s no suitable app, or you want to sync data with your inventory system, ERP or PIM, we build custom apps on the Shopify API. Depending on your needs, this can include checkout extensions or custom discount and shipping logic – some of which depends on your Shopify plan.

Is Shopify legally sound for Germany and the EU?

Shopify can be run in a legally sound way, but it needs careful setup: legal notice, terms, cancellation policy and privacy policy, unit prices, delivery times, a correctly labelled order button and cookie consent. We set all this up and can connect a legal text service that keeps it up to date.

Can you move my store from WooCommerce or another system to Shopify?

Yes. We migrate products with variants and images, customers and – where it makes sense – past orders. Redirects from every old URL are essential, so Google rankings and links are kept. The opposite direction is covered in our guide From Shopify to WooCommerce.

Shopify or WooCommerce – which is the better fit?

Shopify is ideal if you don’t want to deal with hosting and updates and are fine with monthly fees. WooCommerce offers more freedom and no platform fees but needs maintenance. We build for both and give you an honest recommendation – in detail in our WooCommerce vs. Shopify comparison.

What does a Shopify store cost?

It depends on the scope: from a customised theme to custom sections, integrations and custom apps. On top come Shopify’s monthly fees and paid apps. After a first call you get a fixed-price quote that lists all running costs.
