Shopify is aimed at companies of all sizes - from retailers to fast-growing large companies in the D2C, B2C and B2B segments. The decision in favor of Shopify should not be based solely on financial figures. It is more important to consider which Shopify functions can be used specifically to improve your online store. Think about the specific benefits for your business, for example through additional functions or cost savings. We would be happy to discuss your requirements in a non-binding initial consultation.

Shopify offers extensive features to internationalize your website, allowing you to target a global audience. With support for multiple languages, you can reach customers in their own language, while the multi-currency feature allows you to shop in local currency, improving the customer experience. Shopify also supports a variety of local payment methods and allows you to set up country-specific domains or subdomains to target search engine optimization (SEO) for different regions and signal greater market relevance. In addition, Shopify allows you to create targeted marketing campaigns for different countries and customize taxes and shipping options on a country-specific basis to comply with local regulations. These features, combined with the ability to tailor the shopping experience and offers to the specific needs of international customers, make Shopify an effective solution for companies looking to expand their presence in the global market.

Shopify offers different pricing plans depending on the needs and size of your business:

1. Basic plan: €36/month or €27/month with annual payment, ideal for e-commerce beginners.
2. Shopify plan: €105/month or €79/month with annual payment, suitable for small businesses.
3. Advanced plan: €384/month or €289/month with annual payment, for growing businesses
4. Plus plan: from 2300 USD/month with a 3-year term, aimed at larger companies and corporations.

In addition to the monthly fees, there are transaction costs when using external payment providers and credit card fees that vary depending on the plan selected. Further costs may arise from the purchase of themes, additional POS Pro locations, the selection of necessary third-party apps or additional functions. For an individual cost indication, tailored to your requirements, we recommend a non-binding initial consultation.

The time it takes to create a Shopify shop varies greatly depending on the complexity of the project, the extent of customization, the integration of third-party apps and the provision of content. In general, simple Shopify shops can go live within a few weeks, while more complex projects with extensive customizations and integrations can take several months. A realistic timeframe for setting up a Shopify shop - from planning to launch - is often between 2 and 6 months. This period allows sufficient time for:

- The strategic planning and design of the shop

- The development and implementation of customized functions

- The integration of required third-party apps and systems

- The addition and optimization of product information and content

- Extensive testing and quality assurance.

As an experienced Shopify partner agency, we create a customized project plan for your shop that includes realistic timeframes and clear milestones to optimize the development of your Shopify shop. Let's discuss your requirements in a non-binding initial meeting.

Compared to the standard Shopify versions, Shopify Plus features B2B specialization, advanced customization options, automation capabilities, access to exclusive apps, robust integrations, wholesale functionality and the ability to manage up to 10 storefronts. These features, along with enhanced support, make Shopify Plus ideal for companies with specific needs looking for extensive scalability and advanced support for their business processes.

Shopify Plus plan allows you to create an unlimited number of online shops, but only one brand is permitted per contract. If you have multiple brands within the same company, a separate Shopify Plus contract is required for each brand. The monthly fee covers your main shop and 9 extension shops. Each additional shop will incur an additional cost of $250 per month, or a revenue share will apply to all shops.

Shopify shops are hosted by Shopify itself. Shopify takes care of the hosting to ensure that the shops have a reliable infrastructure that guarantees scalability and security. This allows companies to focus on their business and growth without having to worry about the technical details of hosting.
