Although Shopify is known for its simple setup, hiring a Shopify Ad Agency for Shopify development is common.\u00a0 And you want to pick one of the best Shopify agents.\u00a0 The beauty of Shopify is the ability to add third party tools like Ochatbot\u2019s Shopify chatbot to increase sales.<\/span><\/p>\n

Navigating the world of Shopify can be overwhelming and confusing at times but thankfully for Shopify store owners there is plenty of help available. We talked to some of the best Shopify agents that handle Shopify projects and they gave us some advice and recommendations. These agencies range from those with numbers of clients in the single digits to those with hundreds of clients and average monthly revenues from the thousands to the millions. While all of these agencies work with Shopify, some are more focused on the Shopify platform and Shopify clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shopify versus the Rest<\/h2>\n

When asked what separates Shopify from other eCommerce platforms such as WooCommerce or BigCommerce<\/a>, almost all Shopify developers cited ease of use. They loved how easy it is to set up for their clients then, with a smooth transition, hand it over and allow their clients to perform simple updates for new seasonal promotions or discontinued products. Also, Shopfiy\u2019s flexibility is another aspect that helps make it one of the best eCommerce platforms. There are tons of third party integrations to help keep stores easily managed and organized. Shopfiy is a great turnkey solution that is not just a website but focuses more on their clients’ eCommerce growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shopify Agents Recommend Application Reform<\/h2>\n

While there are loads of applications available that support Shopify, our experts recommend a more tactful approach. They recommend trying to keep the number of applications, actively managed at least once a week, to somewhere around 10 or less. Once you go above a number you struggle to manage, they can become unwieldy and even counterproductive. The best place to start would be with apps that manage your email marketing campaigns (such as MailChimp or Drip) and user engagement tools once customers are on your site (such as discount code popups or wheel spins). Once these are mastered then more advanced applications can slowly be added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chatty Kathys<\/h2>\n

One of the bigger trends recently has been direct communication to customers via SMS, live chat, and AI chatbots. They pose as the best way to engage with customers before purchasing, during the checkout process, and customer support after the sale. Most of our participants have worked with live chat in the past and recommend store owners utilize them if they have the manpower to actively monitor their account. For those store owners who don\u2019t have the time or staff to monitor a live chat service, Shopify AI chatbots<\/a>\u00a0built as true eCommerce chatbots are the perfect fit. They help answer customer\u2019s questions immediately which pushes them closer to a sale quicker with more confidence in their purchase all while doing it 24\/7.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cantilever\u00a0<\/b>| New York, NY<\/p>\n

They work with senior managers who feel under pressure because they spend a lot of time and money on websites, but they aren\u2019t getting the results they need.\u00a0<\/span>That\u2019s because their sites aren\u2019t designed with the user in mind. They aren\u2019t the kind of places someone would want to come and stay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cantilever is more than a technology company \u2013 they’re a hospitality company. They believe that websites are spaces that users enter, not billboards they see from a distance.<\/span><\/p>\n
