A Shopify Case Study
PadelPROShop, a European online retailer of padel equipment, faced a challenge when its rapid growth outpaced its fragile PrestaShop platform. The self-hosted setup was unstable, with updates frequently causing website outages, and its unreliable checkout lacked support for multiple currencies and local payment methods. This fragile infrastructure hindered international expansion and forced the small team to spend time on technical management instead of business growth.
By moving to Shopify, PadelPROShop gained a stable, SaaS foundation that could scale. The solution included Shopify Payments and Shop Pay, which provided a trusted, smooth checkout experience for international customers. This allowed the company to successfully execute its growth strategy, resulting in revenue surging from €2.5 million to an expected €26 million. Shopify also saved the team significant operational time, contributing to their ability to expand into new European markets and scale from 3 to 50 employees.
