We are excited to announce a significant milestone in what.’s growth.

We have acquired the Shopify portfolio and assets from eCommercify AB, a distinguished Shopify agency known for its expert e-commerce solutions. This includes the rollout of international stores such as Zimmerli, Lush (lush.ch), Rohner Socks, Maison Mollerus, and Sponser Sportnahrungsmittel. 

With this acquisition, we have become the largest Shopify agency in Switzerland.

A strategic move to strengthen the e-commerce capabilities

This expansion comes at a pivotal time as digital commerce continues to grow in importance. eCommercify has been a prominent player in the Swiss e-commerce industry for almost a decade. Their track record speaks for itself, having launched hundreds of online shops and served over 300 satisfied customers.

What this means for what.

With this acquisition, we have broadened our portfolio and strengthened our e-commerce offerings. Specifically, this acquisition:
