Do it yourself or have it built?
You can set up a simple store yourself, see build a Shopify store. An agency pays off when time is short or the project gets more demanding: migration, custom design, B2B, performance or a clean tax and accounting connection.
What does it cost? The cost factors
There is no honest flat price; the price comes from these factors:
| Factor | Impact on price |
|---|---|
| Design | Adapted standard theme vs. custom theme |
| Feature set | Standard store vs. B2B, configurators, integrations |
| Migration | New build vs. move from WooCommerce/Shopware incl. data & redirects |
| Integrations | Accounting, ERP, shipping, marketing tools |
| Operation | One-off build vs. ongoing maintenance/support |
How a store project runs
With us: a short discovery, then a transparent fixed-price quote with a clear scope, then delivery with demos and launch support. More on the services page.
Coming from another platform? Plan the migration carefully: migrate WooCommerce to Shopify.
What to look for in an agency
A transparent fixed price instead of open timesheets; the code and rights belong to you; maintenance and support are accounted for; and ideally experience with DACH tax/e-invoicing, see the Shopify accounting guide.
