Shopify

“We integrated with TrueMed, another finance partner, in the US. It was a couple of hours, and then we were up and running. Shopify checkout made that possible, and that was very helpful.”

“"The biggest impact we see is the ability to make changes in Shopify in real time. That means we can test much faster and roll out UX changes much faster, which in today’s world, where everything is changing at a rocket pace, is a huge advantage,"”

““Paradoxically,” Švihálek recalled, “that turned out to be one of the most straightforward and simplest parts, so we need not have worried about it at all.””

““We were very worried about data. About losing data, and about losing customer data. If a customer who had already spent, say, 200,000 CZK with us suddenly found themselves back at zero, they would most likely leave, because we would have made them furious,””

““We were practically unable to build any landing pages, because everything came down to hardcore programming,””

“We know that in two years we will not have to change platforms because ours has gone stale.”

“We used to have tills only through Helios, which was terribly rigid. Now we can take a till to an event, a trade fair or an exhibition without much setup at all. We can even hand a till to a sales rep visiting a B2B customer, and they can sell something on the spot. Just with a tablet. Or even with a phone.”

“Whatever we come up with, we never get told that it cannot be done.”

“We had tremendous support from our CMO and our parent company. They gave us the resources and the confidence to move aggressively, and that’s why we were able to do this migration so quickly. I’m proud of the team.”

“If you saw the report, you would have thought I hired a consulting firm and spent hundreds of hours on it.”

“When I want to add a new method of payment, it’s so simple. You’re like, ‘That was it.’ It’s just amazing.”

“PeakActivity’s value is their efficiency. They understand how we want the business to work, ask the right questions, and anticipate the requirements before we get deep into development.”

“As furniture retailers, we’re very cost-conscious, not just in the immediate term, but in terms of the cost of ownership in the longer term.”

“Shopify gives us the confidence to move quickly on any business idea that we consider.”

“We want to build a specialized fitting destination, not a traditional shoe store.”

“Part of how we decided on a location was asking Sidekick what our best ZIP codes were.”

“We don’t want to be a brand that loses sight of the customers that got us here.”

“I use [Sidekick] pretty much on a daily basis.”

“The ease [Shopify provides] in helping us stand up the website for effectively a decade kept our focus on product and marketing.”

“A cup of coffee at the window is how many people first get to know ViCAFE. We want to make it just as easy for them to enjoy the same experience at home and keep coming back, whether they visit an Espresso Bar or shop online.”

“On Shopify, customers can buy their coffee once or subscribe from the same product page. Our subscription revenue grew 44% year over year in 2025, and we’re on track for more than 50% year-over-year growth in 2026.”

“Every Espresso Bar belongs to a different area and has its own community. Now each one has a page that shows its character, with our photography alongside pictures and reviews from the people who enjoy ViCAFE.”

“Someone looking for a coffee in Zurich needs to know which coffee shop is a few hundred meters away. Building the pages on Shopify let us tailor the maps, distances, and local information to that experience.”

“Previously we had to manually update Espresso Bar hours on the website, and now it automatically updates when changes are made in Google My Business which saves us some meaningful time.”

“We consider every detail at the Espresso Bar window, from where the coffee machine sits, to how we serve each guest. With Shopify and Enkomion, we could bring that same user experience to buying coffee online for the company.”
