Shopify Store Management
Build a DTC channel you own: from store build and conversion optimization to SEO/GEO and email retention, we help Taiwan brands escape marketplace fees, control brand and margin, and turn traffic into repeat buyers.
Why should an export brand run a Shopify store?
A Shopify store is a sales channel you own — no marketplace commissions, full control of brand, customer list and data. Managed operations cover the build, conversion-rate optimization, SEO/GEO and email retention, turning one-off traffic into a repeat-customer asset — the complement to marketplaces like Alibaba and Amazon.
Why own your channel
Escape marketplace fees
Your own store isn't bound by marketplace commissions and rules — better long-term margin and freedom.
Full brand control
You control layout, story and experience — brand differentiation a marketplace can't offer.
Repeat-customer asset
The customer list and data are yours — email and retention compound instead of one-off sales.
Full-funnel data
Track every step from traffic source to checkout — optimization grounded in data.
Sound familiar?
No store yet
Relying only on marketplaces or distributors — no owned storefront, with margin and customer relationships in someone else's hands.
A store that doesn't convert
Messy theme, slow load, clunky checkout — traffic arrives but barely converts.
No traffic
The store is live but nobody comes — no SEO/GEO or content strategy, invisible to Google and AI.
Abandoned carts, no repeat
No email or retention — abandoned carts go unrecovered and customers buy once then vanish.

Frequently asked questions
- Can we manage it without a technical background?
- Yes. We hand over training and provide ongoing support after the build, and Shopify's admin is intuitive — day-to-day product updates and order management need no code.
- Can you set up payments and shipping?
- Yes. We configure export-friendly payments (credit card, PayPal, etc.) and shipping/logistics options so overseas buyers can check out smoothly.
- How is Shopify different from Alibaba or Amazon?
- Alibaba/Amazon are marketplaces — ready traffic but commissions and rules. Shopify is your own store — full brand and margin control, but you bring the traffic. The best setup is usually both: marketplaces for volume, your store for brand and repeat customers.
- Do you help drive traffic?
- Yes. Shopify management includes SEO/GEO and content; for active prospecting or social traffic, it integrates with our AI outreach and social media services for a full acquisition mix.
- Can you migrate our existing store to Shopify?
- Yes. We assess your current content, products and URL structure and plan a migration with 301 redirects to preserve existing SEO equity, then optimize from there.
- How is pricing structured?
- It depends on build scope and whether ongoing CRO/SEO/email retainer is included. We start with a free 30-minute consultation on your current state and goals, then quote a tailored plan.
