Book an introShopify and CCV Shop compared
CCV Shop is a quintessentially Dutch SaaS platform, part of the CCV Group (known for payment terminals). It's plug-and-play: iDEAL, PostNL, and DHL are built in, GDPR compliance is handled, and you're live within minutes. Shopify is the global SaaS platform with 11,000+ apps, Shopify Markets for international sales, and seamless Channable integration.
CCV Shop is perfect for starting entrepreneurs and local retailers who want a simple Dutch webshop. But once you want to grow: international markets, marketplaces like Bol.com and Amazon, advanced marketing, or custom design, you hit the limitations of CCV Shop.
Channify migrates CCV Shop webshops to Shopify and connects Channable for your feeds and marketplaces.

Can I migrate from CCV Shop to Shopify?
