Shopify, for Switzerland
Recommended apps
A Swiss store carries costs the app listings never mention: three national languages before you have sold anything abroad, customs paperwork the moment a parcel crosses the border, and a currency that is not the euro. The apps below are the ones that address that, plus the handful that are useful anywhere.
Every app is a recurring US-dollar bill on top of your Shopify plan. Three or four of them will outweigh the plan itself, so treat this as a menu to choose two or three items from, not a shopping list.
We have not run each of these for a full year and will not suggest otherwise. The descriptions come from the App Store listing, the developer documentation, and what the app changes in your admin once installed.
The app buttons on this page are affiliate links: install through one and the app developer pays us a commission, at no additional cost to you. The selection is editorial — a place on this page cannot be bought.
-
Languages and currencies
German, French and Italian in one storefront, with currency switching for customers ordering from the EU — the first app most Swiss shops actually need.
-
Conversion
Post-purchase offers on the thank-you page, after payment has cleared, so a second offer cannot jeopardise the first sale.
-
Languages and currencies
Sends visitors to the right language and currency by location, instead of showing a German page to a customer in Lausanne.
-
SEO
Meta titles, alt text and sitemap checks per product — and you need them in each language you publish.
-
Shipping
A branded tracking page covering Swiss Post and the international couriers, in place of forwarding raw carrier links.
-
Data protection
Consentmo GDPR Compliance
Cookie banner and data requests covering both the revised Swiss FADP and the GDPR you inherit by selling into the EU.
-
Conversion
Frequently-bought-together blocks on the product page and in the cart, kept on the restrained side.
-
Shipping
Shipping rates by weight, postcode or zone — which is what domestic and cross-border pricing needs to be separated.
-
Conversion
Quantity breaks and bundles: volume pricing, value packs and multi-buys on the product page.
-
Conversion
Pre-orders and a back-in-stock waitlist, so a sold-out line keeps selling through a long restock window.
-
Accounts and loyalty
Froonze Loyalty & Wishlist
Customer accounts with wishlist, store credit and points, in place of the plain default account page.
-
Sourcing and dropshipping
Zendrop
Dropshipping suppliers with shorter lead times than the default China route — relevant given Swiss customs delays.
