What design options does Shopify offer?

Shopify offers an impressive variety of design options for every requirement and budget. You can either choose between free and paid themes that are already pre-designed – or opt for a custom design tailored by us that perfectly reflects your brand presence and identity. Both the Shopify themes and our custom designs are, of course, fully responsive. As modern marketing makers and Shopify agency, we attach great importance to an optimised user experience on all mobile devices – because this can be the decisive factor for your e-commerce success.

What apps and extensions are available for Shopify?

The Shopify App Store is an extensive ecosystem with thousands of extensions for almost every need. Apps for SEO optimisation, email marketing integrations and advanced warehouse management solutions are particularly popular. Special Shopify ERP integrations, for example, can be implemented for a seamless connection to a company’s own systems. Customer analysis tools and Shopify CDPsolutions enable data-supported marketing decisions. We will be happy to advise you on the most relevant apps for your business model and implement them professionally in your new online shop.

Do you also offer individual Shopify apps or interfaces?

Absolutely. As a certified Shopify agency from Munich, we develop customised apps and interfaces for companies that need more than just a “standard shop”. Our qualified developers create customised solutions that are precisely tailored to your business processes. Whether complex Shopify ERP system connections, special discount systems or customer-specific functionalities – we design and implement customised extensions for your Shopify shop.

Can I simply import my existing product catalog into Shopify?

Yes, migrating your product catalogue is straightforward in most cases. For simpler scenarios, importing via CSV files is a good option. For more complex catalogues, we support you with the connection to PIM systems or implement customised import solutions via existing interfaces. Our experts ensure a clean data transfer with correct product variants, images, SEO-relevant content and price structures; even for extensive catalogues with numerous categories and products.

Do you also support the migration of existing stores to Shopify?

The migration of existing shop systems such as WooCommerce, Magento or Shopware is one of our core competences. As an experienced Shopify agency , we know that shop migration is often a key pain point for companies. That’s why we guide you through the entire migration process: from data analysis and cleansing to the structured transfer of products, customer data and order histories to ensuring SEO continuity. We minimise downtime and ensure a smooth transition to your new Shopify online shop.

Can Shopify handle complex delivery rules or product options?

Shopify is extremely flexible and can handle any level of complexity. Thanks to its extensive expansion options, Shopify makes a wide range of fulfilment scenarios possible: From complex product variants and differentiated delivery types and times to various payment methods. If it is set up individually, the system is able to fulfil even the most demanding requirements. If required, we can develop our own rules and processes that are precisely tailored to your specific product structure and order processing.

Can Shopify also be operated headless together with a CMS?

Yes, Shopify headless architectures offer maximum flexibility for innovative digital projects. Such an approach enables seamless integration with external content management systems, with Shopify acting as a powerful e-commerce backend. This means that not only can Shopify be connected to another CMS at any time, it is also possible to connect a separate frontend to a Shopify system that takes care of processing and data management.
