Why Scandicommerce chose Shopify?

The data-backed reasons why we've chosen to specialize in Shopify and why it's the right platform for serious e-commerce businesses

What is Shopify?

Shopify is a complete commerce platform that enables businesses to set up an online store and sell products. It offers everything needed to sell online, on social media, or in person. With Shopify, you can manage products, inventory, payments, and shipping all in one place.

As a Shopify-focused agency, we've chosen to specialize in this platform because real-world data consistently shows it delivers the best results for e-commerce businesses.

Why Businesses Choose Shopify

1. Speed to Market

Businesses launching on Shopify get to market 58% faster than those using custom solutions. In e-commerce, time is literally money – every day not selling is revenue lost forever.

With ready-to-use themes, built-in payment processing, and streamlined setup, you can launch a professional store in weeks rather than months.

2. Built-in Reliability & Security

Shopify invests millions in infrastructure that individual businesses could never afford on their own. This includes PCI compliance, SSL certificates, and 24/7 monitoring.

During Black Friday/Cyber Monday, Shopify routinely handles over 10,000 transactions per minute without performance issues.

3. Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Studies show that the 3-year total cost of ownership for Shopify is typically 40-60% lower than self-hosted platforms. While monthly subscription fees are visible, they eliminate many hidden costs:

  • Security updates and patching
  • Server maintenance and scaling
  • PCI compliance management
  • Development costs for core functionality

4. Enterprise-Grade Features for Everyone

Shopify democratizes access to advanced e-commerce features that were once only available to large enterprises:

  • Advanced analytics and reporting
  • Abandoned cart recovery
  • Multi-channel selling capabilities
  • Global tax and shipping compliance

5. Powerful Ecosystem & Integrations

Shopify's extensive ecosystem of 11,000+ apps and integrations is a game-changer for businesses of all sizes:

  • Marketing Tools: Email marketing, social media, SEO, and advertising apps that integrate directly with your store data
  • Fulfillment Solutions: Easy connections to shipping carriers, dropshipping suppliers, and fulfillment services
  • Customer Support: Help desk, live chat, and customer feedback tools that work seamlessly with your store
  • Accounting & Finance: Tax calculators, accounting software connections, and financial analytics
  • Inventory Management: Advanced inventory systems that sync across all sales channels

This ecosystem means you can easily extend your store's functionality without custom development, saving time and resources while staying competitive.
