Shopify agency · Glasgow Commerce, Crafted.

Questions Glasgow brands ask us

Do you have an office in Glasgow?

No. We have one office, and it is not in Glasgow. We work with Scottish brands remotely and travel up where a project genuinely benefits from it. We would rather say that than register a virtual Glasgow address, which several agencies competing for this search have done.

Are you a Shopify agency for Scotland as a whole, or just Glasgow?

The whole of Scotland. Glasgow is the biggest search term, not the boundary. We work with brands across the central belt and further north on exactly the same basis, and none of it depends on being in the same city as you.

We sell internationally already. Can you handle that on Shopify?

Yes, and for Scottish brands it comes up early. Shopify Markets handles per-country pricing, currencies, tax and domains properly, rather than bolting a currency switcher onto a UK store. Getting that right at build time is considerably cheaper than retrofitting it.

Does the time difference or distance cause problems?

There is no time difference, and in practice distance has not been an issue on any project. Work is reviewed on a screen and shipped from a repository. If you need someone in the room weekly, a local team is the better answer and we will tell you so.

Do you build on Shopify Plus for Glasgow brands?

Yes, and Scottish brands reach the case for it earlier than most, because they sell beyond Scotland sooner. Once multi-currency, duties and a second market are on the table, Markets and the checkout controls that come with Plus stop being a luxury. If you are still selling mainly at home, the upgrade can wait and we will say so.

Do you work on AI search visibility for Scottish brands?

Yes. An ai seo glasgow enquiry is really about whether an AI answer names your brand when someone asks it for a recommendation, which matters more for an export-minded brand than a local one, since the buyer can be researching from another country entirely with no local knowledge to fall back on. The shopify developers Glasgow brands brief on this are the same team that handles the export build.

How long does a Shopify build take for a Glasgow brand?

Scope sets the timeline, and distance plays no part in it. Larger Shopify Plus builds run eight to sixteen weeks, delivered in two-week stages on a staging theme you can review from Glasgow. The fastest bespoke build we have shipped went live in seven days, for a fashion show.

Can you build a trade or wholesale store for our stockists?

Yes. For Black Sand we built a trade store where each approved buyer sees their own catalogue and prices. For a Scottish brand supplying stockists abroad as well as at home, that lets wholesale orders come through the store itself.

We are on another platform and already sell abroad. Can we move without losing that?

Yes. We migrate brands from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Salesforce, Wix and Squarespace, bringing products, customers and subscriptions across with a redirect for every old URL. Your market set-up is rebuilt in Shopify Markets as part of the move rather than after it. Bessette, a luxury fashion brand, made the move with us and took its domain and Google Workspace email across at the same time.

Can you run paid ads for us in markets outside the UK?

Yes. We run Meta, Google and TikTok campaigns and plan them market by market, so budget goes where the store can deliver at a price that works. Waldo, a Swiss dive watch brand, runs its paid media and SEO with us.

How quickly do you reply to a new enquiry?

Within 24 hours. The first call is with the people who would do the work, and we will tell you plainly if we are not the right fit for what you need.
