Do you have a project for creating, migrating, or redesigning your e-commerce site on the Shopify platform?

Do you want to identify the best Shopify agency in the Nantes region?

Collaborating with a service provider in your region is a possibility, but it should not be a constraint. Indeed, Shopify development is perfectly suited to remote work.

An expert Shopify agency will be able to qualify your needs remotely (via Google Meets). Stellar regularly updates its list of the best Shopify agencies in France.
To facilitate your search for a Shopify agency, the Shopify France sales team is available via their support.

But before pressing the button, here are a few questions to ask yourself to evaluate your future Shopify agency.

The dilemma of sectoral expertise

The needs and expertise are not the same from one sector of activity to another:
  • A makeup brand will need to manage multiple color and shade variants
  • A menstrual underwear brand will place more emphasis on reassurance and product technicality.
Sectoral specialization can be an advantage for easily implementing best practices. On the other hand, choosing an agency that doesn't yet work in your field brings a fresh perspective to your domain and best practices from other sectors. There is no ideal answer :)

What expertise do you need?

Every project is different. Managing a migration from another CMS is not the same as managing a D2C brand creation on Shopify.

The key is to identify the skills you need for your project:

  • Acquisition
  • Instagram Ads
  • Ergonomics
  • Logistics connectors
  • Shopify Markets (internationalization)
  • ...

Is your project limited to website development, or do you also need marketing skills or content creation?

Has your contact person understood your "e-commerce" project?

Depending on your profile, your technical e-commerce experience, and your objectives, the recommendation will be different. You don't speak to a novice in the same way you speak to an experienced e-merchant.

There are different "types" of Shopify agencies

Make sure you recruit the right partner for your needs. Freelancers, multinational agencies, collectives of developers… each solution has its advantages and disadvantages. Here are some aspects that vary from one service provider to another:
  • The size of the organization (and its agility)
  • The cost (small and nomadic = generally cheaper)
  • Availability and workload
  • The quality of support
  • The variety of expertise
It's up to you to set the bar according to your priorities.

The relevance of advice and the price

  • Has the agency understood the need and the brand?
  • Does the recommendation meet my brief?
  • Is the budget envelope fair, compliant with the project, and potentially scalable?
If your need is not technically feasible or within the budget, the agency should propose alternatives (For example: Installing an application instead of custom development).

Don't reduce a project to its total price: take the time to delve into each line of the budget to find the most suitable solution.

Evaluate your agency's Shopify portfolio

Nothing beats an agency's portfolio of achievements or references to get an idea of the potential result: quality, level of requirement, technical complexity, artistic sensitivity...

Choose an expert Shopify agency

Is the agency truly expert in Shopify development, or is it just riding the trend? Each CMS has its own functionality, specificities, advantages, weaknesses, and restrictions. Sort through them and choose only a Shopify expert who masters all the subtleties of the solution and its ecosystem.

Finally, don't forget...

The success of the project does not depend solely on the price but also on the quality of the relationship you build with your agency. You must feel comfortable with your interlocutor and avoid a dominant/dominated relationship.
