Shopify agency for Lausanne brands
French-language Shopify stores for Lausanne’s sport, wine, food and tech brands, built for shoppers across Romandy and beyond.
Shopify development and growth for Lausanne brands
Lausanne is the Olympic capital, home to the International Olympic Committee and many sports federations, and its slopes run down to Lake Geneva. The EPFL technology university feeds a steady stream of startups, while the Lavaux vineyards just east of the city produce wines sold mostly within Switzerland. Nestlé is headquartered nearby in Vevey, and food, wellness and sports brands make up much of the region’s direct-to-consumer scene.
We work with Lausanne brands remotely, with calls in your morning and documentation in clear English. Typical projects include French-first storefronts with German added later, wine and food stores with age checks and delivery rules, launch pages for hardware startups and SEO for French-language searches in Romandy, where competition is lighter than in German-speaking Switzerland.
What Lausanne brands need from their store
Sport and performance brands
With sports federations and active residents around the lake, sport brands are a natural fit. We build stores with activity filters, athlete content and launch drops for new gear and limited editions.
Wine from Lavaux and Vaud
Local wineries sell direct to Swiss customers. We set up age confirmation, case and mixed-case options, delivery limits and wine club subscriptions, with tasting notes and pairing details on every bottle page.
EPFL startups
Tech startups need pre-orders, waitlists and clear technical pages. We build launch flows that capture demand early and connect Shopify to the accounting and fulfilment tools a growing hardware company already uses.

Frequently asked questions
Can we sell wine online from Lausanne?
Yes. We add age confirmation, case-based pricing, mixed-case builders and shipping limited to the regions you deliver to. Wine clubs with regular shipments are also easy to set up, and customers can manage their subscription themselves.
Should our store be in French or German first?
For a Lausanne brand selling locally, French first. Once Romandy performs, we add German to reach the larger German-speaking market. Shopify Markets keeps both on one store, with search-friendly URLs and hreflang for each language.
Do you have an office in Lausanne?
No. Lausanne clients work with our team remotely from India. We schedule calls in your morning, track tasks on a shared board and ask for your approval on a staging store before any change reaches your live shop and customers.
