Knowd Digital

Retail & E-commerce

Launch your NZ online store in days, not months

You've got great products—now you need a great online store. We build lightning-fast Shopify stores and digital tools specifically for NZ retailers, artisans, and product sellers ready to sell online or scale their existing presence.

From simple 5-product stores to comprehensive e-commerce systems, we've got transparent, affordable solutions that convert browsers into buyers.

We understand e-commerce challenges

We've helped NZ businesses launch and grow their online stores. Here's what we solve.

"Shopify setup costs are too expensive"

Agencies charge $5k-$15k for Shopify stores. You need something affordable that still works perfectly for selling online.

→ Shopify Light from $799—perfect for small catalogues.

"My store is slow and I'm losing sales"

Every second of load time costs you conversions. Mobile shoppers are impatient—slow stores lose sales.

→ Lightning-fast headless Shopify (90+ performance scores).

"I'm losing customers at checkout"

Cart abandonment is killing your revenue. Complicated checkouts, slow loading, or lack of payment options lose sales.

→ Optimised checkout + abandoned cart recovery.

Common questions from retailers

What if I have more than 5 products?

Shopify Light includes up to 5 products. For larger catalogues, contact us for bespoke pricing—typically $99 per additional 5 products, or a custom quote for 20+ products.

Can I manage inventory and orders myself?

Yes. Shopify has an easy-to-use admin panel for managing inventory, processing orders, tracking shipments, and handling customer service. We provide full training.

What about shipping and fulfilment?

We configure shipping zones (NZ regions, AU, international), rates, and options. You handle fulfilment, or integrate with NZ fulfilment providers if you scale.

Do I need to pay Shopify monthly fees?

Yes. Shopify charges $39-$399 USD/month depending on your plan (most start with Basic at $39 USD). This covers hosting, security, PCI compliance, and platform access. No other platform fees from us.

Can you integrate with Trade Me or other marketplaces?

Potentially. Shopify can integrate with some marketplaces via apps. For complex integrations (Trade Me, Amazon, eBay), we offer custom development as part of bespoke partnerships.
