Shopify agency for Basel brands
Shopify stores for Basel’s health, wellness, art and design businesses, selling across the Swiss, German and French borders that meet at the city.
Shopify development and growth for Basel brands
Basel sits where Switzerland, Germany and France meet, and its economy is shaped by life sciences, with major pharmaceutical companies headquartered in the city. That expertise feeds a lively scene of health, supplement and natural care brands. Basel is also an art city, hosting Art Basel every June, and its galleries, print studios and design shops sell to collectors far beyond Switzerland. Local shoppers easily cross into Germany for cheaper prices.
We work with Basel brands remotely, with calls in your morning and precise written specifications. Typical projects include stores for wellness and supplement brands with careful product information, print and artwork shops with framing options, three-country Shopify Markets setups and SEO that holds its own against German retailers just across the Rhine.
What Basel brands need from their store
Health and supplement brands
Products in this field need ingredient lists, dosage information and claims that stay within Swiss rules. We structure this with metafields and clear layouts, and set up subscriptions for products customers reorder every month.
Art, prints and design
Galleries and print studios need edition numbers, sizes, framing choices and secure packaging. We build product options and shipping rules for artwork, and launch pages timed for the art fair calendar.
Competing with cross-border prices
Basel shoppers often compare prices in Germany. We highlight what a Swiss store offers instead, such as fast delivery without customs, Swiss service and easy returns, and use these points in ads and product pages.

Frequently asked questions
Can we sell supplements through Shopify in Switzerland?
Yes, as long as the products and their claims meet Swiss food and supplement rules. We do not give regulatory advice, but we build pages that show approved claims, ingredients and warnings clearly, and set up subscriptions for repeat orders.
Can you set up framing options for art prints?
Yes. We add options for size, frame and mount, with prices updating as customers choose, and pass the selection to your workshop with the order. Shipping rules can also treat framed and unframed items differently.
Do you have a team in Basel?
No. We work remotely from India with brands across Switzerland. Calls take place in your morning, progress is tracked on a shared board, and each release is tested on a staging store before it goes live.
