Development Shopify eShop
What is Shopify?
Shopify is a rapidly growing open-source e-commerce platform founded in 2006 in Ottawa, Canada. It has been in operation for 18 years now, with a rapid growth over the past 10 years.
The CMS (Content Management System) platform Shopify, offers to businesses a range of services, including payment, marketing, shipping and customer engagement tools.
It is worth noting that Shopify’s rapid growth is based on the increase in sales of online retailers who trusted and invested in Shopify.
Globally, over 1.58 million websites have been built and run on the Shopify platform as of 2021 and in approximately 175 countries.

Shopify and taxes: What you need to know
One of the most common questions we receive is whether Shopify can meet the needs of a business operating in the Greek market. The answer is that Shopify can be an excellent solution for an e-shop in Greece, as long as the overall ecosystem around it is set up correctly. One of the first and most important steps is the proper configuration of the 24%, tax rate, which is handled from the initial setup stage.
In practice, most businesses are not just looking for a beautiful and fast platform, but also for a solution that can support:
- the issuance of invoices and receipts
- proper commercial management
- integration with ERP systems
- accounting and tax monitoring needs
hat’s why, when evaluating Shopify for a Greek e-shop, we don’t assess just the platform itself, but also how well it can integrate with the tools a business needs on a day-to-day basis.
How do I sell on Shopify?
Shopify is NOT a marketplace.
How does Shopify charge?
The most popular plans are Basic (from €19/month + 2% fee) and Grow (from €56/month + 1% fee).
Why choose Shopify?
- you want to get started quickly and scale more easily
- you invest in digital marketing and expect increased traffic
- you need a platform that is easy to manage, without requiring ongoing technical support
- you place great importance on loading speed and overall user experience and do not require complex custom functionalities
- you are looking for a modern e-commerce solution with stability and ease of manageme
Shopify vs WooCommerce
Which CMS is the most suitable for your online store?
Perhaps the most common—and most difficult—question we receive. On a regular basis, entrepreneurs who contact us try to determine the ideal choice for their e-shop. The truth, however, is simpler than it seems.
Both Shopify and WooCommerce have significant advantages — but also limitations.
In practice, the choice depends on your current needs, as well as how much you want your store to grow in the future.
Essentially, you’re being asked to choose which “drawbacks” you can live with.
Because the perfect platform doesn’t exist.
Shopify vs WooCommerce: 10 basic comparison points
| ΧΑΡΑΚΤΗΡΙΣΤΙΚΑ | SHOPIFY | WOOCOMMERCE |
|---|---|---|
| ΕΥΚΟΛΙΑ ΥΛΟΠΟΙΗΣΗΣ | ✅ | Απαιτεί setup |
| ΤΑΧΥΤΗΤΑ | ✅ | Εξαρτάται από hosting |
| ΑΣΦΑΛΕΙΑ | ✅ | Χρειάζεται δειαχείριση |
| UI / UX | ✅ | Πλήρως customizable |
| ΕΥΕΛΙΞΙΑ | Περιορισμένη σε custom ανάγκες | ✅ |
| ΔΙΑΘΕΣΙΜΟΤΗΤΑ ΣΕ DEVELOPERS | Μικρότερη | ✅ |
| ΜΕΘΟΔΟΙ ΠΛΗΡΩΜΗΣ | Συγκεκριμένες επιλογές | ✅ |
| ΔΙΑΣΥΝΔΕΣΕΙΣ ΠΡΟΜΗΘΕΥΤΕΣ, xml ERP | Μεγαλύτερη δυσκολία | ✅ |
| ΚΟΣΤΟΣ | Μηνιαία συνδρομή + fees | Hosting + development κόστος |
| SCALABILITY | Πολύ καλό για standard e-shops | Ιδανικό για complex & custom projects |
| ΧΡΟΝΟΣ ΥΛΟΠΟΙΗΣΗΣ | 10 - 15 ημέρες | 25 - 40 ημέρες |
If you want an e-shop that can be set up quickly, securely, and without technical requirements, Shopify is an excellent choice.
However, if you need flexibility, custom functionalities, and full control over your project, then WooCommerce is closer to what you’re looking for.
At the end of the day, the right choice is not about the platform — but about strategy.
Shopify Dropshipping: What is it and how does it work?
Dropshipping, however, is not Shopify itself. It is a sales model in which you sell products without holding your own inventory. The supplier handles storage and shipping, while you manage sales and the growth of your store.
Not necessarily. One of Shopify’s key advantages is the high level of autonomy it offers in managing your online store, without requiring ongoing support from a developer.
Shopify can be integrated with most ERP systems through off-the-shelf applications or custom API integrations. IMBNet handles the integration with e-commerce applications, warehouses, and invoicing software to ensure automatic synchronization of products, inventory, and orders.
Yes, Klarna can be installed on Shopify, allowing it to be offered as a payment method with up to 3 interest-free installments, depending on the available settings and the country of operation.
Yes, BoxNow can be integrated with Shopify. In this case, you are usually required to be on the Grow plan.
Yes, bulk discounts can be applied in Shopify, such as a fixed percentage discount across all products or on selected categories.
The most common options are Viva Wallet, EveryPay, and of course Stripe, depending on the store’s needs and the availability of each service.
There are many Shopify theme options available. Some are free, while premium themes start at around $120 and can go up to $500, especially when sourced from the Shopify Theme Store.
The cost depends on the project requirements, such as features, the number of categories, and the number of products. An average development cost typically ranges from €2,200 to €3,000.
