Geneva · one of two hubs
A Shopify agency in Genevawith the prices already on the page.
Half of this studio is here, covering Switzerland and francophone Europe. The other half is in Dubai. What follows is what actually changes about building a Shopify store on this side of the border — and then every price, so you can decide without booking anything.
What changes in this market
Six things a Swiss store needsthat an EU-built theme gets wrong.
Most agency city pages are a single template with the city name swapped in. This is the part that does not transfer — and the part a studio hired from outside the country would have to be taught, at your expense, on your project.
Switzerland is outside the EU customs union
Every order crossing the border is an export on one side and an import on the other. Duties, thresholds and customs paperwork are a checkout and fulfilment problem, not an afterthought for the 3PL — and a store that surprises a French buyer with a customs charge on delivery has bought a refund and a bad review.
TWINT is not an optional wallet
It is how a very large share of Swiss buyers expect to pay, and it is close to invisible from outside the country. A checkout offering cards and PayPal looks complete to a foreign agency and looks foreign to a Swiss shopper.
Prices in francs, or you are asking for a conversion
Swiss buyers price-check in CHF. A store that displays euros and converts at the end introduces a number nobody recognises at exactly the wrong moment. Multi-currency in Shopify Markets is straightforward; deciding rounding and which market sees which price is the part worth getting right.
Three national languages, and Geneva is the French one
A Swiss store is rarely monolingual for long. Doing it properly means separate indexable URLs per language with reciprocal hreflang, not a JavaScript language switcher — the difference between a store that ranks three times and one that ranks once.
The border runs through your delivery zones
Geneva's catchment is genuinely cross-border, and a meaningful share of the buyers are shopping from one country and receiving in another. Shipping zones, thresholds and returns have to be built for that rather than corrected after the first month of orders.
The market rewards restraint over discounting
Swiss buying skews toward quality signals, clear provenance and a store that looks like it will still exist next year. Aggressive discount mechanics that lift a mid-market European store tend to read as cheap here, and a permanent sale badge is a positioning decision whether or not it was meant as one.
How we work with brands here
In the city where it helps.Published everywhere else.
Being in Geneva is worth something on a project in Geneva. Publishing the entire price list is worth more, and almost nobody in this market does it.
A partner based in Geneva
Not a sales office and not a reseller. The half of the studio that runs francophone Europe lives in the city, in your working week and your timezone.
Invoiced in euros
The European price list is in EUR and that is what your invoice says. We do not quote one currency and bill in another — see the question below if you were expecting francs.
French and English, natively
Working language either way. The site is English today; the conversation, the calls you did not have to book, and the documents are whichever you prefer.
No call to get a price
Every number is published. Nothing here needs a discovery call or a form to find out what it costs or what it excludes.
What we do for Swiss and French brands
Five levers, one team,every price in euros.
Design, build, conversion, paid media and AI visibility. The full menu with euro prices and what each scope excludes is two clicks from here — neither of them a form.
Two pieces worth reading before you brief anyone: how answer engines pick which stores to name and what a Shopify agency actually costs.
Asked by brands here
The local questions,answered directly.
Starting with the currency one, because a Swiss company being invoiced in euros is a fair thing to want explained before anything else.
- Do you invoice in Swiss francs?
- No — in euros. The studio publishes three price lists, and Switzerland sits on the European one: the Store Teardown is €750 and every other service has a published euro price. Market decides currency and it is not negotiated per deal, which is also why you will never be quoted one number and billed another.
- Is there an office in Geneva?
- There is a partner living and working in the city. We do not publish a walk-in address, and we would rather say so than imply premises we do not lease.
- Can you work in French?
- Yes. The site is in English for now, which is a deliberate choice rather than a limitation — a half-translated site with broken language tags ranks worse than a clean single-language one. Working in French has never been the constraint.
- Do you work with French and EU brands, not only Swiss ones?
- Yes. The Geneva hub covers francophone Europe, which in practice means Switzerland and France more than anywhere else, and the euro price list applies across the EU.
- What is the fastest way to find out if you are any good?
- Buy a Store Teardown for €750. A written audit of your store's conversion path and AI visibility, five fixes ranked by revenue impact, delivered in five days with no call in the process. Start an engagement within thirty days and the fee comes off it in full.
