Shopify agency for Bern brands
Shopify stores for Bern’s food makers, outdoor brands and Old Town shops, with click and collect, TWINT and reliable Swiss Post delivery.
Shopify development and growth for Bern brands
Bern is the Swiss federal city, home to the government and federal administration, and its UNESCO-listed Old Town has kilometres of arcades lined with independent shops. Toblerone was first made here, and chocolate, cheese and bakery producers remain part of local identity. As the gateway to the Bernese Oberland, the city also supports outdoor, hiking and winter sports brands, and many family-run businesses that are now moving sales online.
We work with Bern businesses remotely, with calls in your morning and plain-language explanations of every step. Common projects include first Shopify stores for established shops, POS integration for arcade boutiques, food stores with chilled shipping and gift boxes, and outdoor brands needing seasonal campaigns and clear technical product information.
What Bern brands need from their store
Arcade shops going online
Independent shops in the Old Town want online sales without losing their personal service. We set up Shopify POS with shared stock, click and collect and local delivery, so the shop and website work as one business.
Chocolate, cheese and food gifts
Food producers need chilled or fast shipping, best-before dates and gift boxes for holidays. We configure shipping rules for warm weeks, gift messages and corporate orders for Christmas and Easter.
Outdoor and mountain gear
Hikers and skiers compare specifications closely. We build filters for activity, weight and weather rating, size guides and seasonal landing pages timed for the summer hiking season and the start of winter sports.

Frequently asked questions
Can our Old Town shop and website share stock?
Yes. With Shopify POS, the shop and online store use the same products and inventory, updated in real time. Customers can reserve online and collect in store, and you avoid selling items that have just gone over the counter.
Can we ship chocolate safely in summer?
Yes. We set rules that use faster delivery or insulated packaging on warm days, pause shipping to certain areas if needed and show clear notes on product pages, so chocolate arrives in good condition and customers know what to expect.
Are you based in Bern?
No. We are a remote team in India serving Bern businesses through video calls in your morning, a shared project board and a written update at the end of each working day, so you always know what has changed.
