Shopify stores for Austrian merchants. The difference to a German shop is not in the design but in payment, shipping and legal pages.
A Shopify store for Austria differs technically hardly at all from a German one, but noticeably in four places: payment methods, because Austrian buyers expect eps; shipping, because almost every shop also delivers to Germany; legal pages, because many templates come with German law; and tax, because deliveries within the EU switch to the local rate above a threshold. Overlook those four and you lose orders without knowing why.

A basic shop with a standard template and up to fifty products starts at 3,000€. With custom design, individual sections and special features the range is 6,000€ to 12,000€, and 15,000€ is realistic at the top. On top come the fees to Shopify itself: currently 32€ per month on Basic, 92€ on Grow and 384€ on Advanced.
The Shopify fees do not go to us, and they change from time to time. We name them anyway, because they belong in an honest total and tend to get left out of quotes. For the vast majority of Austrian merchants the Basic plan is enough for years.
If you sit in Vienna and are looking for a local agency, more on that is on our page about the Shopify agency in Vienna. If you are still undecided between Shopify and WooCommerce, the comparison on our e-commerce page helps.
I write the quote, I design, I build. You do not get an account manager standing between you and the work, you talk to the same person from the first question until after launch.
If something does not make sense, I say so, even when that makes the project smaller. In the long run that is more pleasant for both sides. For the start of a shop I am happy to sit down with you once, that saves two weeks later.
A Shopify store can be built anywhere, the expertise is international. What is not international are the four points above. A German agency will build you an excellent shop that forgets eps, calculates one shipping rate for Austria and Germany and brings legal texts on a German template. None of that is a mistake in the narrow sense, but each of them costs orders.
What we are not: an agency with twenty Shopify projects a year. We build few shops and keep looking after them afterwards. If you need a partner for a project with several parallel workstreams and a fixed deadline, we say so beforehand.
Tell us briefly what you sell and where you ship. You get an assessment of the scope and a fixed price, without a sales call.

In Austria yes, if you sell to private customers. eps is the familiar online bank transfer and comes with Shopify Payments by default, it only has to be switched on. A shop without eps feels like a foreign provider to Austrian buyers, and that costs orders without you seeing it in any statistic.
On the shop itself little, the expertise is international. The difference lies in four points: eps as a payment method, separate shipping rates for Austria and Germany, legal pages on an Austrian rather than a German template, and the correct tax setup for deliveries within the EU. None of that is a mistake in the narrow sense, but each of them costs orders.
No, and nobody should promise you that. We are not legal advisers. We tell you which texts you need and where they belong, and build them in cleanly. You should have them checked by your lawyer or through the chamber of commerce, which offers template documents for it.
For the vast majority of Austrian merchants the Basic plan is enough for years, currently 32€ per month or 24€ paid annually. The Grow plan at 92€ only pays off once you need more detailed analytics. These prices change from time to time, because they come from Shopify and not from us.
