Kontamo online store
Kontamo focuses on health products dedicated to achieving balance between body and mind through science-based, natural products.
Shopify e-store
We helped Kontamo's online store migrate from Shoproller to Shopify. We guided the merchant in managing the selected Shopify theme and made minor corrections. We analyzed the URL tree and made the necessary redirects to maintain SEO positions.
E-shop apps
We expanded the functionality of the e-store with several modules or apps, of which I would like to highlight the three most important.
- Bundle or set products – The merchant wanted to offer customers different combo products through campaigns. Shopify's own bundle app allows you to link different individual products together and create sets. For products that are linked together, the inventory of individual products is still used, meaning that set products do not have to exist in the business software. Shopify adds set products to the order as individual products again, significantly simplifying the transfer of order data to Directo for this customer.
- Customer feedback on products – We solved the problem of leaving comments on products using the Loox app. This app is very popular among Shopify merchants because it offers several useful features and is generally easy to use.
- Selling digital products – Selling e-books was solved with Shopify's own Digital Downloads app, which automatically sends the customer a digital file related to the product immediately after the purchase. The app also offers easy file management and update options.
Directo integration with Shopify e-store
E-commerce orders are automatically transferred from the Shopify platform Directo into the business software and all further order management takes place there. We developed several special solutions for the Kontamo order interface so that orders reach Directo with the correct business logic and trigger the necessary automatic processes there.
Frequently asked questions
-
Without knowing the details, it is challenging to predict the budget of an e-commerce site.
Building the simplest e-shop on Shopify will stay within our minimum budget of 1000€.
For e-commerce sites with more complex business rules, custom business software integrations, and user interfaces drawn by a designer, you should consider a budget of €10,000+. -
The best way to do this is to use our Parcely parcel locker app. We offer a free setup of the app and delivery method. You can install the app itself in your e-shop from the official Shopify app store here https://apps.shopify.com/parcelyapp
-
We always recommend the OPAY payment initiation service because it allows you to display your bank selection directly in the Shopify checkout and the service itself is reasonably priced.
-
Yes, of course. The Shopify admin is very user-friendly, and there are many tutorials online. You can also take a look at our little guide here.
We sometimes help merchants with just a few changes or small development tasks. For example, we have developed the Directo integration for several online stores, meaning the merchant built the online store by themselves and we just added Directo integration to it.
-
Yes, it's not difficult if all work tasks are defined and described before starting the migration. Products, categories, content pages, and blog posts can often be transferred automatically (depending on the software). However, you need to consider manual work to check everything over and correct links and content layouts.
You can't migrate the theme code or user interface of an e-shop, but you can use it as a basis when creating a Shopify store and create something as similar as possible if necessary. -
The Shopify Plus plan is Shopify enterprise software, meaning it differs significantly in functionality from the standard Shopify packages.
The Shopify Plus plan is worth it if the merchant needs the functionality not available in Shopify's regular plans. For example, the Plus plan is necessary if the merchant works in a wholesale business or needs more B2B functionality.
The Plus plan also pays off if the e-store's annual turnover exceeds a few million. Namely, with the Shopify Plus plan, the merchant pays a significantly lower service percentage fee per order.
