Shopify online store creation and design by certified Shopify Partners in Mulhouse
Leverage our expertise as a certified Shopify Partner to create a high-performing e-commerce store on the Shopify platform. Our team in Mulhouse supports you from start to finish.
Certified Shopify partner in Alsace
LCMH is an official Shopify partner based in Mulhouse, France. With 50+ stores built for retailers, artisans and businesses, our team masters the Shopify ecosystem end to end: Liquid themes, Hydrogen headless architecture, Storefront API and third-party integrations.
As a registered Shopify Partner, we access advanced development tools, dedicated test environments and priority Shopify support — advantages we put directly at the service of your e-commerce project.
Our 4-step methodology
Every project follows a structured process to ensure measurable results.
1. Audit and strategy
We analyze your business, target market and sales objectives. If you already have an online store, we audit its performance (speed, conversion rate, SEO) to identify improvement areas. Deliverable: detailed specifications and strategic recommendations.
2. Design and UX
Custom mockups aligned with your brand identity. We design mobile-optimized purchase journeys with a focus on usability and conversion rates. Every screen is validated with you before development begins.
3. Development and integration
Design integration into Shopify via custom Liquid themes or Hydrogen headless architecture for high-volume projects. Payment setup (Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal), logistics configuration (local and international carriers) and business tool integration (ERP, CRM, accounting).
4. Launch and support
Comprehensive testing (orders, payments, transactional emails), team training on the Shopify admin interface, then go-live. We provide post-launch monitoring with performance tracking and responsive support.
Our Shopify services
Shopify store creation
From initial setup to custom design, we build your turnkey store. Our approach covers the full e-commerce scope:
Catalog and product pages — Collection structure, SEO and conversion-optimized product pages (high-quality photos, structured descriptions, variants, metafields), multi-location inventory management.
Checkout funnel — Smooth purchase journey in 3 steps maximum, mobile-first optimized. Payment integration (Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay) and carrier configuration. Shipping rules by zone, weight and order amount.
Automations — Custom transactional emails (confirmation, shipping, abandoned cart recovery), Slack/email notifications for new orders, inventory sync with your ERP. We configure Shopify Flow to automate repetitive tasks: automatic VIP customer tagging, low stock alerts, order routing by warehouse.
Migration to Shopify
Using PrestaShop, WooCommerce or Magento and want to switch to Shopify? We transfer all your data — products, customers, orders, history — with no interruption to your sales. 301 redirects preserve your existing SEO rankings and prevent traffic loss.
From PrestaShop — Data export via dedicated modules, recreation of pricing rules and product variants. We handle attribute mapping (sizes, colors, materials) and image migration with SEO metadata (alt text, filenames). Promotion rules (discount codes, volume discounts, strikethrough pricing) are recreated in Shopify Discounts.
From WooCommerce — Migration of variable products with all variations, verified customer reviews (imported via Shopify Product Reviews or Judge.me), discount coupons and WooCommerce Subscriptions. WordPress shortcodes are converted to native Shopify content.
From Magento — Transfer of complex multi-store catalogs, custom attributes, B2B customer accounts with their pricing grids and catalog rules (category promotions, group pricing). EAV data migration to Shopify metafields.
Average timeline: 2 to 4 weeks depending on data volume. Zero sales interruption guaranteed through our parallel migration approach with instant DNS cutover.
Shopify Plus for enterprise
For high-growth or high-volume businesses (> €1M online revenue), Shopify Plus offers features that standard plans don’t:
- Shopify Flow — Visual workflow automation: automatic customer segmentation, custom fraud detection, warehouse-based order routing, conditional notifications. We create custom workflows tailored to your business processes.
- Extensible checkout — Full checkout customization with Checkout UI Extensions: post-purchase upsells, custom fields (VAT number, delivery instructions), loyalty programs integrated into checkout.
- Multi-store and multi-currency — Manage 10 stores from a single admin interface. Localized catalogs, pricing and content per market. Automatic currency conversion with configurable rounding.
- Dedicated APIs and SLA — 10× higher API limits than standard plans, access to Checkout and Functions APIs, 99.99% SLA with priority support and dedicated merchant success manager.
- Launchpad — Schedule and automate commercial events (sales, product launches): price changes, theme switches and scripts scheduled to the minute.
LCMH supports you in deploying and optimizing your Plus environment, from initial audit to team training.
Custom application development
When the 8,000+ apps in the Shopify App Store aren’t enough, we develop custom solutions. Our applications leverage Shopify APIs (Admin, Storefront, Functions) for native, high-performance integration:
- Specific pricing calculations (B2B quotes, volume discounts, per-linear-meter pricing)
- ERP/CRM integrations (Sage, Cegid, Salesforce, HubSpot)
- Visual product configurators (real-time customization)
- Custom analytics dashboards
Shopify POS — In-store sales
Unify your online and in-store sales with Shopify POS. We configure your point-of-sale system, synchronize inventory in real time across sales channels and train your staff.
E-commerce SEO
We optimize your Shopify SEO: URL structure, schema.org markup (Product, BreadcrumbList, FAQPage), meta descriptions, page speed, internal linking and content strategy. Goal: rank your product pages for your target customers’ purchase queries.
Shopify vs the competition
Shopify is the leading e-commerce platform for businesses that want to focus on their core activity rather than technical infrastructure. Here’s how it compares to alternatives, including managed hosting options:
| Criteria | Shopify | PrestaShop (self-hosted) | PrestaShop Hosted | WooCommerce (self-hosted) | WordPress.com Commerce |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting | Included, global CDN | Self-managed | Included (shared) | Self-managed | Included (shared) |
| Security | SSL, PCI DSS Level 1, auto updates | Manual updates, PCI on you | SSL included, partial updates | Depends on host and plugins | SSL included, auto WP updates |
| Total cost / year (typical SMB) | €384–2,208 (Basic→Advanced) | €600–3,000 (hosting + maintenance) | €300–600 (limited plans) | €500–2,500 (hosting + premium plugins) | €540 (Commerce plan) |
| Scalability | Unlimited traffic, 99.99% uptime | Limited by your server | Limited by shared hosting | Limited by your server | Limited by shared hosting |
| Customization | Liquid themes + apps + API | Full (open source) | Limited (imposed themes) | Full (PHP + plugins) | Limited (restricted themes/plugins) |
| App ecosystem | 8,000+ official apps | 4,000+ modules (variable quality) | Limited modules | 60,000+ plugins (highly variable quality) | Restricted plugins |
| Time to market | 2 to 6 weeks | 2 to 4 months | 1 to 2 weeks | 1 to 3 months | 1 to 2 weeks |
| Support | 24/7 multilingual | Community (paid support optional) | Email/ticket | Community | Email/chat |
| Best for | SMBs, D2C, fast growth | Custom projects, full control | Small budgets, quick start | Existing WordPress sites | Blogs with secondary store |
Our take: managed versions of PrestaShop and WooCommerce (PrestaShop Hosted, WordPress.com Commerce) offer quick setup and low entry cost, but sacrifice customization and scalability. They suit very small projects. Once your business exceeds a few hundred orders per month or requires business integrations, Shopify offers a better features-to-complexity ratio. For projects requiring full source code control, self-hosted PrestaShop remains relevant — but maintenance costs are significantly higher.
Use cases
Local artisan — Artisan bakery
A bakery in Mulhouse wanted to offer online ordering for specialty breads and pastries with in-store pickup. We deployed a Shopify store with pickup slot management, illustrated product pages and secure online payment. Result: 30% more orders from the first month, with no additional workload at the register.
D2C brand — Natural cosmetics
A cosmetics brand was selling exclusively through resellers. We created their direct-to-consumer Shopify store with recurring subscriptions (Shopify Subscriptions), a loyalty program and Klaviyo integration for email marketing. Net margin increased by 40% by eliminating intermediaries, and average order value grew 25% through personalized product recommendations.
B2B Wholesale — Industrial supplier
An industrial parts supplier was managing B2B orders by email and phone. We deployed Shopify Plus with per-customer negotiated pricing, bulk ordering, 30/60-day payment terms and ERP integration. Order processing time was cut by three and data entry errors eliminated.
