What are the costs for a Shopify agency?
The costs depend heavily on the project. Specialized Shopify agencies in Germany typically charge hourly rates ranging from 80 to 120 euros. At Halbstark , custom online stores—including design—start at a fixed price of 20,000 euros. Ongoing support after launch starts at one day per month for approximately 900 euros.
Is Shopify a reputable company?
Shopify is undoubtedly a renowned company with a very good reputation in the e-commerce industry. With its headquarters in Canada, it was launched in 2006 by German Tobias Lütke. It serves as a platform not only for small and medium-sized businesses, but also has well-known major clients such as Tesla and Google. In 2022, Shopify reported an impressive revenue of around $6 billion and a market capitalization of around $60 billion. There is an active developer community around the product and a steadily growing number of customers.
For which companies is Shopify worthwhile?
In general, Shopify is recommended for any e-commerce business. There are plans available to suit businesses of all sizes. Shopify Plus is a good option for businesses with annual revenue of approximately 750,000 euros or more. Otherwise, we recommend the smaller plans.
How long does a Shopify project take?
A typical project usually takes 8 to 12 weeks from kick-off to go-live. We handle strategy, design, and development in-house, which eliminates the need for back-and-forth coordination.
Shopify or Shopware: Which One Is a Better Fit?
Shopify stands out for its stability, fast loading times, and low maintenance requirements: Shopify handles updates, hosting, and security. For most D2C and brand stores, Shopify is therefore the more efficient choice. We’ll give you honest advice on which system best fits your business model.
How much does Shopify Plus cost?
Shopify Plus starts at about $2,300 per month. It’s especially worthwhile if you have high sales volume, operate in multiple markets, or have specific checkout requirements. We’ll advise you on when the switch will be worth it for you.
Do you also develop headless stores?
No, not on purpose. We develop custom Shopify themes. They’re faster to implement, more cost-effective to maintain, and can be easily updated by your team using the Shopify Editor.
Which inventory management and ERP systems do you integrate with?
We integrate with all common systems, such as JTL, Xentral, and plentymarkets. We also implement custom interfaces and proprietary apps.
Will I lose my Google rankings if I migrate?
Not if the migration is planned properly. We take over URLs, set up redirects, and check titles, descriptions, and structured data before the site goes live.
What does support look like after the launch?
We can assist you starting at one day per month (approx. 900 euros) with maintenance, further development, and conversion optimization. Alternatively, we can hand over the store to your team along with training. Learn more in our article on Shopify support after launch.
How can I tell if a Shopify agency is good?
Look for genuine testimonials with results, a listing in the Shopify Partner Directory, transparent fixed prices, and whether the agency develops custom solutions or simply customizes templates. Halbstark is listed in the official Shopify Partner Directory.
Can I manage my store myself after it launches?
Yes. You can manage products, content, campaigns, and pages yourself in the Shopify Editor. We'll train your team during the handover.
