While Shopify allows for autonomous management of your e-commerce site, building a high-value store for your customers requires an expert and transversal approach. A Shopify creation and growth agency acts as a trusted third party: creation and redesign, data & integrations, performance, CRM & e-mailing, acquisition... For an overview of the services offered by a Shopify agency, see also this page.

Shopify e-commerce site creation

Carving out a place in your market begins with an impeccable site. An e-commerce site creation agency doesn't just focus on aesthetics: it designs a profitable and sustainable asset.

  • Purchase and configuration of the domain, DNS & SSL.
  • Choice of Shopify OS 2.0 theme and in-depth customization (sections, templates, metafields).
  • Catalog structuring, complete product pages (attributes, media, FAQ, schemas).
  • Setup of payments, shipping, taxes, and legal policies.
  • Multi-device testing, bug fixing, performance (Core Web Vitals).

A site that converts is based on three pillars:

=> UX (User Experience): designing the actual purchase journey, from arrival to checkout (navigation, filters, reassurance, bundles, cross-sell).

=> UI (User Interface): creating a readable and desirable interface (hierarchy, micro-copy, empty states, mobile-first consistency).

=> Integration & development: adapting the theme (Liquid/JSON), optimizing technical SEO, mastering apps & scripts to keep a site fast.

Redesign and migration to Shopify

We migrate from PrestaShop, Magento, WooCommerce, or custom to Shopify, securing SEO, data, and operations. Redesign and migration often go hand-in-hand: new design, mobile optimization, improved ergonomics, revival of SEO fundamentals and tracking.

What services do Shopify and Shopify Plus agencies offer?

Brand creation

A good product without a clear brand struggles to break through. We define your brand territory: promise, evidence, tone, visual style, and apply the identity on-site/off-site (homepage, PDP, editorial pages, social networks). Objective: create preference, not just generate traffic.

Developing your store with a Shopify agency

The agency doesn't just intervene at launch. It drives growth: prioritized roadmap, optimization cycles, new acquisition channels, continuous improvement of conversion and retention.

Why choose Shopify to create an online store?

Shopify is a SaaS focused on performance and experience: integrated payments (Stripe, PayPal via Shopify Payments), OS 2.0 themes, verified apps, included security/hosting, analytics, and automations. Quick to learn, reliable scaling. With an agency, you exploit 100% of the potential: design, SEO, speed, data.

Data migration (orders, customers, content)

A successful migration means losing nothing and improving everything. We orchestrate:

  • Extraction & mapping of data (products/variants, collections, customers, order history, discount codes, pages & articles).
  • Cleaning (deduplication, attribute normalization, SKU consistency).
  • Controlled import (Matrixify, API), non-regression tests, password recovery via compliant procedures where possible.
  • SEO: bulk 301 redirects, link retention, canonical tags, Search Console monitoring post-go-live.

Acquisition & growth strategy (paid, social, analytics)

You don't just "plug in" advertising randomly. You build an acquisition system managed by margin:

  • Paid: Meta/Instagram, Google (Search, PMax), TikTok, Pinterest Shopping.
  • Proprietary product feeds (Merchant Center), UTM & standardized naming conventions.
  • Tracking: Consent Mode, server events, enhanced conversions, decision-making dashboards.
  • Iterations: creative/landing tests, incrementality, CPA/LTV control, agile budget allocation.

Internationalization (markets, currencies, languages)

Selling internationally goes beyond simple translation. We handle:

  • Shopify Markets: localized prices, currencies, payments, taxes, shipping costs & conditions.
  • International SEO: URL structure, hreflang, localized content, local relevance signals.
  • Operations: returns, customer service, logistical cut-off, local payment methods.
  • Tool-assisted translations (e.g., Weglot) + human proofreading to preserve brand voice.

Optimizations & CRO (A/B testing, UX, speed)

What matters: actual conversion. Our CRO approach:

  • Audit UX/UI & performance (Core Web Vitals, scripts, images, apps).
  • Experience backlog: page variants (hero, USP, PDP, filters), reassurance messages, bundles, order bumps.
  • A/B tests and measurement (events, dashboards), prioritization by impact/effort.
  • Speed: image compression, lazy-load, system font, reduction of third-party JS.

Process automation (ops & marketing)

Automating = saving time and ensuring reliability.

  • Ops: ERP/WMS flows, inventory synchronization, allocation rules, label generation, returns workflows.
  • Marketing: abandoned cart reminders, post-purchase, back-in-stock, reactivation, dynamic segmentation.
  • Data: product attribute normalization via metafields, scheduled exports, webhooks.

Brand content (editorial, photo, video)

Content is your unfair advantage: it tells stories, reassures, and sells.

  • Editorial: storytelling, universe pages, buying guides, comparisons, enriched FAQs.
  • Photo/video: consistent packshots, framed UGC, hero banners, short formats for social/ads.
  • Production: guidelines, editorial planning, DAM, weight/format optimization for speed.

SEO strategy (content clusters, technical, netlinking)

Modern SEO combines structure, useful content, and popularity.

  • Semantic clusters: intent-based clusters, internal linking, SEO-friendly OS 2.0 templates.
  • Technical: logs, crawl budget, schemas, canonicals, pagination, clean redirects.
  • Content: data-driven briefs, E-E-A-T, comprehensive answers, freshness.
  • Netlinking: lasting editorial partnerships, high-value pages as link targets.

CRM & lifecycle with Klaviyo

Transform buyers into lifetime customers with Klaviyo and Shopify.

  • Setup: compliant collection (consent), e-commerce events, lists & segments.
  • Flows: welcome, abandoned cart, post-purchase, reviews, upsell, re-engagement.
  • Segmentation: RFM, purchase propensity, LTV, scenarios by lifecycle.
  • Creative: email/SMS templates, product personalization, subject line/CTA tests.
