Shopify Agency

A Shopify agency for brands that want to grow without fighting the technology

Shopify is a SaaS platform: hosting, security, updates and the capacity to handle traffic peaks are all included in the subscription. Your team focuses on selling, not on maintaining servers. Our job as an agency is to make sure that simplicity never becomes a limitation: a fast theme built around your brand, markets and taxes configured properly, only the apps you really need, and connections to the systems you already use.

BMITZ has been building eCommerce since 2004 and is a certified Shopify Plus partner. We also work with Magento, PrestaShop and VTEX, so we don't recommend Shopify by default: if your project fits another platform better, we'll tell you in the first conversation.

When Shopify is the best choice (and when it isn't)

Shopify fits when speed to market matters most, when the catalogue and checkout are fairly standard, and when you don't want to take on the technical maintenance of the store. It also works very well for brands selling in several countries: with Shopify Markets you manage languages, currencies, prices and domains per market from a single store.

It is a weaker fit if you need very specific business logic in the checkout, a complex B2B catalogue with price lists and terms coming from your ERP, or full control over code and infrastructure. In those cases we assess Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce (Magento) or a custom build with you, comparing total cost of ownership rather than just the launch price.

The cost model combines a monthly subscription with transaction fees that depend on your plan and the payment gateway you use. We review it up front so there are no surprises once the store starts selling.

What we do in a Shopify project

Scope and architecture: we define catalogue, markets, payment and shipping methods, and which systems need connecting before designing a single screen.

Theme design and development on Online Store 2.0, with reusable sections so your team can edit content and campaigns without depending on us.

Integrations with ERP, PIM, CRM and logistics through the Shopify API: we use an ecosystem app when a reliable one exists and build our own connector when it doesn't.

Migration from another platform, including products, customers, order history and 301 redirects from the old URLs to keep your search rankings.

Support and ongoing development after launch: incidents, new features, regular app and performance reviews.

Shopify or Shopify Plus

Shopify Plus is the enterprise plan. It adds advanced checkout customisation, native B2B features (catalogues and prices per business customer), additional stores for other markets and higher API limits, with its own subscription price. It makes sense above a certain sales volume or when you need one of those capabilities; we help you work out whether it pays off in your case.
