What we do

What Popaz can do for you

01

Build a new online store

Tell us about the products you sell and the customers you want to reach. We consider the pages and features you need and propose how to get to the point of selling.

We think about how to convey your products’ features and how to arrange them so they are easy to choose, then design the site. We also edit the product information and copy you provide into a form ready for the site. We handle the design and the payment and shipping settings, building the store until it is ready to take orders.

02

Renew your current online store

You want products to be easier to find, a design that suits your brand, or less effort spent on daily updates. We ask what concerns you about your current store and confirm what you want to keep and what you want to change.

We also support migration to Shopify from other e-commerce platforms. After sorting out the data to migrate and the features you still need, we revisit the page structure, design, and systems.

03

Add features or rethink operations

Whether you want to add features you need or reduce your current workload, talk to us. We review the apps and ways of working you use now and think together about what to change.

There are many ways to get there: combining existing apps, customizing your theme, or developing a dedicated app. We compare development costs, monthly fees, and manual work, and propose the approach that fits your budget and team.

Why Shopify

Why choose Shopify

Shopify is used by a wide range of businesses, from small stores to brands selling worldwide. You can start selling with the features you need and revisit features and plans as your business grows. Being able to keep using it as you grow is one of the reasons to choose Shopify.

  • Start selling with the features you need

    With a theme, a template for your site, you can launch by building on an existing structure and features. Design adjustments to match your brand and custom screens are also possible.

  • Add features to match how you sell and work

    Sales features such as gifting and subscriptions can be added with apps. As orders grow, you can also connect external inventory and order management systems. Syncing information you used to enter again and again reduces operational work.

  • Expand to physical stores and overseas

    You can connect sales information between physical stores and your online store, and set languages and currencies for customers overseas. As you sell in more places, you can keep running your online store on Shopify.

About costs

These are estimated costs and timelines for new builds. They vary with the pages and features you need and how ready your materials are. We provide a quote after discussing the details.

Running costs such as Shopify and app subscription fees and payment processing fees are charged separately.

The cost depends on the number of pages, the scope of design work, the features to be developed, the data to be migrated, and integrations with external systems. Before preparing an estimate, we will also clarify our role in preparing photos and written content and adding products.

Renewals, migrations, and partial improvements are also quoted based on the work involved.
