Why businesses switch to Shopify
A platform that grows with you
Shopify handles 10 orders a day just as easily as 10,000. No code rewrites or Black Friday nightmares. You simply scale according to your needs.
Expand without barriers
Sell in Czech, German, or English. In crowns, euros, or dollars. Shopify has everything ready, including tax calculation and shipping for every country.
Connect anything
ERP, PIM, WMS, marketing tools. Shopify has an API and ready-made connectors for thousands of apps. All your systems will communicate perfectly with each other.
Pay only for what you use
No full-time developers needed. Shopify takes care of servers, security, and updates. You pay a predictable monthly fee and invest your time in growing your business.
An online store that performs and sells
Fast loading, intuitive checkout, mobile optimization. Shopify tests and improves UX for you. Then you simply enjoy the new orders rolling in.
Security you don't have to worry about
PCI compliance, SSL certificates, DDoS protection. Shopify takes care of everything. You can sleep soundly even during the biggest traffic spikes.

Shopify's advantages outweigh the drawbacks, but let's be fair
Shopify has many advantages, but no system is perfect. Here is everything laid out transparently.
8 major advantages
Global e-commerce leader with billion-dollar investments
Top-class design and UX
Intuitive admin
Advanced marketing tools
Long-term solution without technical debt
Global platform of top brands
Reliable operation without downtime
Advanced AI features
International expansion as standard
2 minor disadvantages
Current limitations in Czech Republic
Pickup points on the thank-you page
Customers select a pickup point after completing their order. Shopify Plus already allows selection upfront, and this will soon change for standard plans too.
Impact: According to our data, conversions are not affected by this.
Higher payment fees
Shopify's payment gateway has several advantages, but transaction fees are generally higher than local gateways.
Impact: The difference is 0.3–0.8% per transaction compared to local gateways.
Typical collaboration process
Getting to know each other
- We get to know your team
- We send you a refined checklist to fill in
- This helps us determine whether Shopify is the right fit for you
- If so, we discuss how we can help
- We send a non-binding proposal so you know the time and budget involved
Questions? We have answers
Will I lose SEO rankings and traffic after migration?
Not in the medium to long term, though a slight short-term dip is possible. We carry out a detailed SEO audit, set up 301 redirects for URL changes, and optimise the new store — after a brief drop, we often see ranking improvements thanks to Shopify's speed and mobile-friendliness.
How do you ensure no data is lost during the transfer?
We use secure tools for exporting and importing products, customers, orders, and historical data. We start with a test transfer to verify everything — with no risk to your current store.
Will the store be down during migration?
We minimise downtime to an hour or less. We migrate during off-peak hours, with live testing on a staging version — your business keeps running until everything is perfect.
How much will it cost and are there hidden fees?
Costs depend on the scope, but our transparent approach means you always know the price upfront. You'll receive an indicative proposal after the analysis — and you'll often save in the long run thanks to Shopify's lower TCO.
How will you connect Shopify to my existing systems like ERP or PIM?
We have extensive experience with integrations using Shopify's API-first architecture. We use proven apps or build custom solutions — quickly and cost-effectively, without unnecessary complexity.
What about our specific features that have no equivalent in Shopify?
We analyse them upfront and propose alternatives from the App Store or build custom solutions. Shopify's flexibility (12,000+ apps) often replaces legacy features better and at lower cost.
Is Shopify secure and reliable enough for my business?
Yes — with enterprise-level security, 99.99% uptime, and DDoS/hack protection. Automatic updates and a global CDN ensure stability — no worrying about downtime like with legacy platforms.
How long does the whole migration take?
From 2–4 months for typically sized projects, but thanks to our agile approach we can launch a foundation very quickly. We plan phases to minimise the impact on your business.
How will my store's design and UX change?
It doesn't have to change at all — though as part of the migration we recommend optimising the design based on your data and best practices. With Shopify templates and AI optimisation tools, this doesn't need to be a hundreds-of-hours process. The result? Better conversions and a stronger mobile experience without complex redesigns.
What if the migration doesn't go according to plan?
Sometimes individual parts don't go exactly to plan — but that's why we have an experienced team that can handle any obstacle. And even after launch, we have intensive support phases to quickly and thoroughly resolve any scenarios not covered during implementation. With our track record in complex migrations, we minimise risks — and we offer a satisfaction guarantee.

What our clients say...
-
With Sounds Good we continued a long-standing partnership with their parent company Shopsys, and we remain satisfied with the collaboration to this day. Long story short: Sounds Good sounds good to me!
-
We switched to Sounds Good from a competitor. What attracted me most was the depth and breadth of their Shopify platform knowledge — including direct contacts at the source and insider information. At Econea.cz we've always pushed the boundaries of what Shopify can do, and we were looking for a partner who is truly on the technological edge. We do a lot of development in-house, but when we run out of steam or hit a wall, we have a great partner to turn to.
-
For our Shopify-based projects, we needed an experienced partner to help us design and deliver more complex, non-standard requirements. These are B2B projects involving ERP SAP integration and accommodating the expectations of wholesale partners accustomed to the previous platform. I particularly value the reliability of project management and the technical expertise of the Sounds Good team.
-
When migrating our website from a previous platform, we needed a strong and reliable partner to help us discover the world of Shopify — and one who could influence Shopify itself. This allowed us to be among the first in the Czech Republic to access Shopify Payments and other new capabilities, and to provide feedback directly to the Shopify platform. Solutions from Sounds Good have always been tailored and thoroughly vetted.
-
We chose Sounds Good for their Shopify expertise and ability to resolve issues quickly and efficiently. We appreciate most their proactive approach, technical know-how, and the fact that they understand e-commerce from a practical standpoint. The collaboration is smooth and genuinely moves our store forward.
-
We chose Sounds Good because of their deep understanding of e-commerce and their ability to deliver solutions precisely tailored to our needs. We particularly value the speed, proactive approach, and attention to detail. We see this partnership as long-term and highly effective.
-
We chose SoundsGood for their deep knowledge of the platform, which they demonstrated very quickly. The implementation wasn't without unexpected twists, but SoundsGood always responded quickly, adjusted the scope, and kept moving forward. That's exactly the approach we were looking for. Now we work with them every day on ongoing improvements.
-
Sounds Good was the clear choice for us, combining technical expertise with deep Shopify experience. Their hands-on e-commerce knowledge is exceptional. What we appreciate most is their ability to bring strategy, UX, and technology together into one cohesive whole.
We moved to Shopify, because …
-
We have a complex product range and a demanding operation — manufacturing, warehousing, revisions, and a testing room — so we considered a custom-built solution for a long time. In the end, Shopify's cost-effectiveness, paired with only minor adjustments to our processes, simply won out.
-
The largest R&D investment in the industry
30+ billion CZK invested annually. No other platform innovates at this pace.
-
No vendor lock-in
You're not tied to a single agency. Thousands of partners worldwide or your own in-house team — the choice is always yours.
-
We were looking for a solution that could handle the broad range of our requirements — we run dozens of local brand websites across the Czech Republic and the EU, and at the same time we want to sell robustly in both B2C and B2B without a large development team. We also needed a solution for connecting to a wide range of marketplace and drop-ship partners. That's why Shopify. We benefit from the platform's rapid development and its wide range of third-party apps. After roughly 4 years, we're happy with that choice.
-
Reliability proven by global Black Friday
42,000 orders per minute with zero downtime. When your traffic spikes, your store can handle it.
-
Ready for the Czech Republic and Slovakia
Shopify Payments, GoPay, Comgate, Zásilkovna, PPL — all available as ready-made integrations, no custom development required.
-
Shopify is the future — a brilliantly functioning and above all totally modern platform with an unbeatable frontend design and a fantastic drag & drop editor.
-
We chose Shopify as a modern, stable platform that allows us to scale quickly and manage our store efficiently. We particularly appreciate the ease of administration, the wide range of integration options, and the reliability of the entire system. Since migrating, we've seen a significant simplification of our processes and better overall performance.
-
33% lower total cost of ownership
Hosting, CDN, SSL, and updates are all included. No servers, patches, or in-house certification needed.
-
Shopify POS: your retail store and online store as one system
Inventory, orders, and customers sync in real time. Returns, click-and-collect, gift cards — all in one place.
-
Shopify lets a small team accomplish a great deal, and it's a safe, reliable path — so we can fully focus on the customer experience and delivering quality global support going forward, with the certainty of automatic integrations with the leading platforms across various markets.
-
AI that genuinely helps, not just exists
Descriptions, photos, discounts, emails — AI is built directly into the admin, saving time without switching between tools.
-
5 million stores in 175 countries
The world's largest e-commerce platform. Battle-tested from a single product to billion-dollar global brands.
-
We've been on Shopify for over 3 years and we definitely wouldn't switch. The level of technology and the speed of adopting new trends is unmatched. We run both B2B and B2C stores, and every limitation we've encountered has always had a solution. In my opinion, Shopify has no ceiling when it comes to international expansion or company size. I see it as the most expensive and simultaneously the best platform out there. And we have no problem paying for quality.
-
16,000+ apps to shorten your roadmap by months
Add new features in hours, not weeks of custom development. The ecosystem is built specifically for Shopify.
-
International expansion with one click
Currencies, languages, domains, and local payment methods — all from a single admin. Shopify calculates VAT and duties automatically.
-
Since our company specialises in payment processing for e-commerce, our presence on Shopify is essential — it's one of the top platforms for e-commerce solutions.
-
We needed Shopify primarily for future international expansion and its flexibility. That's where we see the extreme added value of this global platform.
Sounds Good? Let's do it together. On Shopify.
