It provides a wide range of customisable themes and apps that allow businesses to create unique and engaging online stores. Additionally, Shopify has a strong ecosystem of experts, agencies, and developers like Charle Agency who can assist with the migration process, ensuring a smooth transition and helping businesses make the most out of the platform’s capabilities, we’d recommend getting in touch to help maximise their Shopify store’s full potential.
4. Why do you think more retailers are going down the headless route?
More retailers are opting for the headless ecommerce route because it offers greater flexibility, scalability, and customisation options. Headless architecture decouples the front-end (customer-facing) and back-end (commerce functionality) of an e-commerce platform, allowing businesses to leverage modern technologies and create unique customer experiences. With headless commerce, retailers can easily integrate multiple touchpoints such as websites, mobile apps, voice assistants, and IoT devices, ensuring a consistent and seamless shopping experience across various channels. It also enables faster load times, improved performance, and the ability to experiment with new technologies and features without impacting the entire system.
5. What is your biggest accomplishment so far?
Our biggest accomplishment so far is helping numerous businesses successfully launch and grow their online stores on the Shopify platform. We have been able to drive significant tangible increases in our clients’ online sales and conversions through our strategic design and development. Additionally, we take pride in the long-term partnerships we have built with our clients such as Samsung, Billionaire Boys Club and Candy Kittens, as they continue to trust us with their e-commerce needs and rely on us for ongoing support and optimisation.
6. Why do you think product discovery is important to your client base?
Product discovery is crucial to our client base because it directly impacts customer engagement, satisfaction, and ultimately, conversions. In the crowded ecommerce landscape, providing a seamless and personalised product discovery experience is essential to stand out and capture the attention of potential customers. By implementing effective product discovery strategies such as intuitive navigation, advanced search functionality, personalised recommendations, and user-friendly filtering options, we help our clients enhance their customers’ journey and make it easier for them to find the products they are looking for. This improves user experience, encourages exploration, and increases the likelihood of conversion.
7. Why did you decide to partner with Klevu?

8. If your agency had a theme tune what would it be?
