Tapeet
Our initial task was to migrate Tapeet.ee from its old e-commerce software to the Shopify platform.
When planning the online store, the goal was to have a convenient and fast user interface. To achieve a good result, we chose Shopify offered by yourself a paid theme , the functionality of which we expanded With the Ultimate Search app. Ultimate search offers several options for precise management of collection and search result filters. The main thing to note about this app is that the app does not only manage filters, but the entire collection and search UI view.
As additional work, we developed the online store's ability to order wallpaper samples, a wallpaper calculator, a wishlist functionality, and manually add related products.
To manage delivery methods, we used our own Parcely app, which offers SmartPost, Omniva, and DPD parcel locker options in this e-store, transfers order information directly to the service provider's system, and allows the store manager to download parcel labels directly from Shopify.
The merchant uses the OPAY Payment gateway service as a payment service provider. OPAY allows the bank selection to be displayed directly in the Shopify checkout view, meaning the customer can immediately select a bank and 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.
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.
