Shipshape - proud member of eCommerce Croatia

Shipshape is a member of eCommerce Croatia, an association established with the goal of informing, educating, and supporting online retailers and other companies involved in the development, implementation, and promotion of online sales. 

What is eCommerce Croatia? 

The eCommerce Croatia Association was founded with the aim of informing, educating, connecting, and supporting online retailers and other stakeholders involved in the process of creating, running, or promoting online sales. 

The association was first presented in 2015 at the OMGcommerce conference organized by Netokracija. 
In mid-2017, the first research on Croatian online stores was conducted, and the first eCommerce Academy was launched.
In 2018, the webshop certification program was introduced, and professional webshop analyses for association members were organized, with over 300 retailers from Croatia participating.
In 2019, the first CRO Commerce conference was held, along with the first online shopper survey. The results were published in the first Guide to Online Sales <-- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
In 2020, the Guide to Starting Online Sales was released.
In 2021, the association launched the popular YouTube podcast “Nominis,” featuring interesting guests from the Croatian eCommerce scene.

Why join eCommerce Croatia?

Whether you are a retailer, developer, or something else, if you are in any way involved in the eCommerce industry in Croatia, we highly recommend becoming a member of the Association. 

There are many reasons, one of them being the fantastic Facebook group with over 7,000 members, where the culture of helping each other is very strong — members’ questions are answered daily and concretely. 
Another great reason are the eCommerce Meetups, which are free for members and, we hope, will soon return in their original (offline) form. 
All full members also receive free Safe.Shop certification, as well as access to the Safe.Shop review system. These certifications and customer review systems can significantly increase consumer trust in a webshop, boosting both traffic and revenue. 
The annual eCommAwards competition recognizes the best webshops of the year in several categories, and during the CRO Commerce conference, you can hear many relevant experts from the field of online sales. 

The development of eCommerce at Shipshape

Shipshape began its operations in 2014 by developing software solutions tailored to clients’ needs and providing IT consulting. The first projects were advanced websites and CRM systems integrated into the daily operations of small and medium-sized businesses and other organizations. Over time, the portfolio expanded with several regional projects, and the plan for the future is to further expand activities to other European markets. 

Over the past few years, we have developed Shape Core — our own eCommerce platform with numerous modules and advanced features such as Dynamic Pricing, Loyalty programs, Marketing Automation, and more.

The unique aspects of Shape Core are its complete adaptability to client needs, integrated CRM within the webshop, ease of use, and integration with various external systems. Building webshops has become our core business.

We particularly value the exchange of experience among industry peers and with clients. That’s why every meeting we have with clients is highly educational, as are the materials we prepare to help clients get ready for meetings or project implementation. We believe that successful software use by clients is just as important as its development and implementation. 

Through our membership in eCommerce Croatia, we strive to contribute to the development of the Croatian eCommerce scene. We consider sharing knowledge and experience through participation in the Facebook group, creating expert content, and soon other interactive formats, to be extremely important.
