Biohansa
Biohansa offers customers horse feed and bedding products that are manufactured in the European Union and delivered on time.
Shopify e-store
We helped Biohanda migrate their e-shop from Woocommerce to Shopify. The e-shop was created based on design sketches to change a template purchased from Shopify's official theme store. In the process, we also redirected the entire old URL tree so that no high-ranking search engine links would be lost and customers would still reach the right page.
Extra features with apps
We expanded the e-store's functionality with several apps, of which I would like to highlight the three most important.
- Calculation of delivery time and price before checkout - For Biohansa customers, delivery time, price, and speed are very important in order to plan their work more precisely. In the product view, the customer can calculate the delivery time and price according to their location. Generally, these are heavy products because the goods are purchased in pallets at a time, which is why seeing the delivery price immediately helps significantly in making a purchase decision.
- Discount on larger quantities - the online store shows the customer quantity-based discounts in the product view, which increases the average shopping cart value and encourages the customer to order a larger quantity at once.
- Subscribe to a notification when a product is back in stock - Not all products may be in stock at all times, but they are being produced. To make life easier for the customer, we have added the option to subscribe to a notification in the product view when the product is back in stock. The customer will receive an email inviting them to order when the product is back in stock.
Payment and delivery methods
As a payment service provider, the merchant uses the services of OPAY , Stripe and Paytrail Payment gateways. OPAY allows the bank selection to be displayed directly in the Shopify checkout view, meaning the customer can immediately select a bank and does not have to first navigate to the confusing payment service provider tab. OPAY also generally offers more favorable fees for the merchant than other payment service providers.
Biohansa uses a completely different solution to calculate the delivery price than a traditional e-shop, which is common when ordering very large or palletized items. When creating the e-shop, we used the Shopify app, which calculates the delivery price based on weight and zip code . The app's support helped import the initial data, but the merchant naturally had to compile the time-consuming table himself.
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.
