Skishop
Skishop.ee sells Rossignol winter sports equipment from snowboards to socks in Otepää. You can also find their pop-up shops at the Kuutsemäe, Munaka and Vimka ski resorts.
The online store was run on the WordPress or WooCommerce platform for years, but the look of the online store there was outdated, the mobile version of the site was clunky, and of course there were a lot of WooCommerce-specific errors, and the online store was simply too slow for the user.
The client was already using Erply's business software and wanted to use the same software to manage the e-shop data. However, during the work, it became clear that it would be more sensible to divide the product data management between Erply and Shopify. The basic product data will now be added to Erply, and further enrichment of the product data, such as images, will be added in the Shopify admin interface.
To manage delivery methods, we used our own Parcely app, which offers SmarPost and Omniva parcel locker options in this e-store and transfers order information directly to the corresponding self-service.
Together with the client, we selected the most suitable one from among the paid Shopify themes, which would evoke feelings of extreme sports and convey positive emotions.
The merchant started using Luminor Payment gateway services as a payment service provider.
We redirected domains, redirected old URLs, linked the sitemap to the Google search console, and set up Google Analytics.
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.
