Please note, geographical location is not everything! Don't hesitate to broaden your search to find the most suitable partner. To go further, don't hesitate to contact our Shopify agency: Stellar, as we create online stores all over France.

To help you sort through the many candidates, here are the criteria to help you evaluate your providers:

• What are the agency's areas of expertise? Branding, web design, marketing and communication, e-commerce development, etc. The range of web professions is wide; don't scatter your efforts and only target Shopify experts who meet your needs;
• Does the agency have a "business" specialization? Technical needs and issues vary depending on the sector of activity (food, ready-to-wear, B2B, etc.). Entrust your project to Shopify experts who understand your challenges and stakes;
• Browse the Shopify and Shopify Plus achievements of the agencies that interest you and contact their former clients for unfiltered feedback;
• Has the agency understood the brief and your needs well? The ability of certain Shopify agencies to adapt, to understand your project, to grasp your level of experience in e-commerce... and sometimes even to read between the lines to anticipate (when certain subjects have not been specified) is a huge asset. Even if there can be similarities, the context (time to market, industry, team, etc.) means that each e-commerce project is different. Each online store creation therefore requires a "tailor-made" recommendation;
• The size of the agency: do not be impressed by large agencies, nor discouraged by small structures. The important thing is to find the configuration you need and to pay a fair price for the service;
• Who will be your privileged contact person within the agency? Between an intern project manager and a director, you will not have the same quality of service. Make sure you have the right person facing you throughout the project;
• The cost of the service: agencies normally apply a time-based billing model. How many days does it take to complete a task? What is the price of a day of development? Have all tasks been budgeted? These are the questions to ask yourself when comparing the quotes received.

Here are other points to be vigilant about during your search for your Shopify or Shopify Plus agency in Lyon:

• Don't forget the recurring costs associated with Shopify (subscriptions and applications) as well as sales commissions (to be paid to Shopify as well as to your payment provider) and ask agencies to offer you different alternatives with associated costs.

• The renowned reliability of Shopify will allow you to limit your maintenance budget to a strict minimum. Fewer technical problems = more marketing budget. 

• Every e-commerce site is scalable: work in stages to make the right decisions and control your expenses.
