Shopify for the Netherlands and Belgium.
Dutch shoppers expect iDEAL, Belgian shoppers expect Bancontact, and Belgium needs more than one language. We migrate your store to Shopify with local payments, languages and legal pages ready.
What's specific to the Netherlands & Belgium.
iDEAL | Wero requirements
Shopify shows iDEAL | Wero to customers with a Dutch address paying in euros. Your store needs the Netherlands as an active market, EUR, verified identity, clear policies and a published legal notice. We prepare all of it before launch.
Bancontact for Belgium
Bancontact is supported for customers in Belgium, alongside cards and wallets.
Languages
Dutch for the Netherlands, and Dutch and French (plus German where relevant) for Belgium, each with its own URLs on Shopify.
Platforms common here
We migrate from WooCommerce, Magento, Lightspeed and others. Shopify's help center has a Lightspeed migration guide we use as a baseline.
Payment methods to consider.
Supported by Shopify Payments for customers in these countries, subject to your store's country, currency and eligibility.
Planned, rehearsed, then switched.
Your old store keeps selling until the moment we switch the domain.
Map everything
Every product type, plugin, integration, URL and legal page on the old store, and what each becomes on Shopify.
Import and check
Products first, then customers, then order history, so records link up. Then a line-by-line check of the data.
Theme and features
Theme, checkout, payments, taxes, shipping and the apps or custom code that replace old plugins.
Redirect and switch
Redirects for every old URL, test orders, domain switch, sitemap submitted, and a watch on traffic after launch.
Questions about the Netherlands & Belgium.
Is iDEAL available as soon as we launch?
Shopify reviews eligibility and emails the store owner when the store qualifies. Meeting the requirements before launch (market, EUR, verification, policies, legal notice) avoids delays.
One store for both countries?
Usually yes: one store with markets for the Netherlands and Belgium, sharing products and EUR, with Belgian language versions.
Do you translate the store?
We set up languages and can produce first-draft translations for your team to review. Final wording is approved by you.
