Making your online shop a success comes down to the tools you have for the job and not just your ongoing marketing strategy.
Ensuring your eCommerce store is built well and functional for your needs is very important. ExtraDigital has built a large number of eCommerce stores on a variety of different eCommerce platforms, including Magento, WooCommerce, and of course, Shopify.
Since 2022, Shopify has been gaining market share very rapidly – it is the fastest-growing eCommerce platform, for good reason. Multilingual is one of them. It is also easy to expand and integrates well with many 3rd party systems for payment, delivery or invoicing.
We’ve been designing, building and marketing Shopify Stores for many years – and the number of requests continues to grow as the platform has become more established.

Is Shopify for Me?
If you are looking for a robust and flexible online eCommerce store that not just helps you manage your sales but also helps you manage your business then Shopify is for you.
It is SaaS – so you pay more as you use more – but is quick to get started. An experienced Shopify agency can help you customise templates and add in extra features – and do this in a way that helps with ongoing marketing.
A pretty-looking store is one thing – but this does not always make money. An effective sales channel is another thing – a source of sales revenue and profit. Setting up your Shopify store for effective marketing is arguably more important than agonising over the design specifics. Ensuring your Shopify partner agency has marketing experience is important.
At ExtraDigital, we have helped Shopify owners grow their business through effective paid search advertising and ensure products are visible under Google Shopping or Products. More detail on this is on our Shopify PPC page.
