Why Shopify
From small business to enterprise
Shopify grows with your brand from the first order to enterprise operations (Shopify Plus), handling more volume and complexity without switching platforms. No wonder millions of brands worldwide sell on it.
Take the shortcut
Many brands start on another platform and migrate once they grow. Starting on Shopify, you are ready from day one for traffic peaks like Black Friday and launches. Just ask Boca Rosa or Kylie Jenner.
Shopify Editions
Twice a year, Shopify ships hundreds of platform updates: checkout improvements, AI features, international selling tools and more. Your store evolves without you changing systems.
A cost that fits your budget
No outrageous fees: Shopify plans start at around US$ 14 a month, a cost that is easily diluted in your sales.
Encrypted data
Shopify complies with global privacy and data protection laws, such as GDPR and Brazil’s LGPD, with advanced encryption, secure payment gateways and fraud prevention tools.
Simplify your day-to-day
With your operation set up, you run the store from your computer or the Shopify app for iOS and Android: products, orders and sales in the palm of your hand.

“Working with Aloft was the best decision we’ve made. Having the team right next to our factory, with in-person meetings, made all the difference — on top of their Shopify expertise, technical team and fast go-live. Today Aloft is my recommendation for every e-commerce project.”

Juicy Sneakers
“Juicy is now a reference in sneakers in Brazil — the second-largest authentic sneaker store in the country. And the website plays a direct role in that: Aloft went beyond the basics, with authenticity and physical-store pages that build trust for shoppers anywhere in Brazil. With authentic sneakers, trust is what closes the sale.”

Lupa Store
“After a frustrating experience with another Shopify agency, I was referred to Aloft — and I have no regrets. It’s hard to find a serious agency in this market, and the team’s service is excellent: they’ve been with us on an ongoing basis since launch, connected the store to our TOTVS Protheus ERP, and now we’re planning our expansion into Latin America.”

“As a Brazilian in Chartwell’s operation, I fought with the board to bring in Aloft instead of an American agency. We did the first site as a proof of concept — its success brought the second, and today we’re ongoing clients. The entire US board approved the work, and the detailed reports make communicating with them much easier. I recommend Nicolas and the team with my eyes closed.”

Who we are
Aloft was founded in 2023 by Nicolas Mendes and Gabriel Ledur, but our team has been working on Shopify since 2018: running our own operations and serving clients, even before Aloft had its name.
Today we are a team of 15+ specialists fully dedicated to Shopify, across development, UX/UI, CRO, SEO and project management, building, migrating and evolving high-converting stores for brands in Brazil and abroad.
Meet our leadership
Nicolas Mendes
CEO & CO-FOUNDER
While still in college, he built and scaled his own e‑commerce brand to eight figures in revenue. On Shopify since 2018, he went 100% digital and founded Aloft to bring that operating experience to other brands.
Leading strategy and sales, he runs implementation, migration and expansion projects for Brazilian and international brands, always focused on business results: conversion, margin and sustainable growth.
Gabriel Ledur
CTO & CO-FOUNDER
He started coding on his own at 14, curious about the logic behind game servers. A Shopify developer since 2020, he has completed every Shopify Academy certification with top scores and is an active member of the official Shopify Partner Directory.
He masters HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Liquid and goes beyond templates: 900+ screens built, with custom features and integrations that keep every store fast, stable and ready to scale.
Franciele Fernandes
HEAD OF OPERATIONS & STRATEGY
She built her career inside fashion retail: Head of E‑commerce and Innovation at La Moda and Digital E‑commerce Manager at VESTE S/A, responsible for online sales of the BO.BÔ and Rosa Chá brands, from KPIs and P&L to the shopping journey.
Before digital, she led processes and an SAP rollout in manufacturing. At Aloft she brings that operations-and-results mindset to every project, connecting strategy, data and the day-to-day of selling.

FAQ
What does Aloft, the Shopify agency, do?
Aloft is a Shopify Partner agency that builds, migrates and optimizes Shopify stores with a focus on conversion. We have launched 350+ stores, which have generated over R$ 1 billion in sales for our clients.
Our office is at CRIO – Innovation Center in Criciúma, the leading tech hub of southern Santa Catarina, Brazil. From there we serve brands in Brazil, Latin America, North America and Europe.
Why choose Shopify for an online store?
Because Shopify is the most widely used e-commerce platform in the world, combining stability, speed and thousands of integrations, with no servers or updates for your team to manage.
It also connects with local payment methods, shipping, ERPs and marketplaces in each market, and brands of every size sell on it.
Shopify, Nuvemshop, VTEX or Tray: which platform is best?
For most brands that want to grow with a fast, beautiful, easy-to-run store, Shopify is the best choice. It balances cost, design freedom and an app ecosystem the others lack.
- Nuvemshop and Tray: simple to start, with less customization and fewer integrations.
- VTEX: robust for very complex operations, with much higher cost and setup time.
- Shopify: serves small brands up to enterprise (Shopify Plus) on the same foundation.
If you are unsure, we review your operation and recommend a path, even if it is not Shopify.
Can you migrate my store to Shopify without losing sales or SEO?
Yes. We migrate stores from Nuvemshop, Tray, VTEX, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce and other platforms to Shopify with minimal downtime.
We move products, customers and order history, and set up 301 redirects for every old URL to keep your Google rankings.
How long does it take to launch a Shopify store?
30 to 90 days, depending on the project’s complexity: number of integrations (ERP, shipping, payments), B2B operations and specific business rules.
The final timeline comes in the proposal, and we plan it so your store is live before peak sales dates such as Black Friday and the holidays.
How much does a Shopify store with Aloft cost?
It depends on the scope: number of custom pages, integrations (ERP, shipping, payments) and whether it is a new store or a migration. That is why we run a free assessment and send a fixed-price proposal, with no surprises.
The platform subscription is billed separately, directly by Shopify, according to the plan you choose.
Does Shopify support local payment methods like Pix, boleto and installments?
Yes. In Brazil, Shopify accepts Pix, boleto and credit-card installments through integrated local gateways such as Mercado Pago, Appmax and Pagar.me. In other countries we set up the payment providers that fit your market.
What kind of customization do you do on Shopify stores?
Almost anything: we build custom sections and features in code (Liquid, JavaScript and CSS) and adapt themes to your brand identity.
Examples: stories on product pages, slide-out cart with upsell, wishlists, back-in-stock alerts and Instagram/TikTok videos in the store.
How do SEO and GEO work for a Shopify store?
SEO gets your store found on Google; GEO gets it recommended by AI assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini. We work on both together:
- Technical: speed, mobile experience, clean URLs and structured data (schema).
- On-page: keyword research, titles, descriptions, images and page content.
- Authority: content and brand presence across the web, so search engines and AI cite you.
Continuous SEO and GEO work is part of On-Going.
How do UX, UI and CRO increase my store’s sales?
They turn more visitors into buyers with the same traffic:
- UX: removes friction from the journey, from product search to checkout.
- UI: a clear interface that builds trust.
- CRO: data-driven tests (A/B testing) on product, cart and checkout pages to lift conversion rate.
With On-Going, this CRO work continues every month.
What support do you offer after launch?
Every project comes with a 30-day warranty after launch. After that, On-Going keeps your store improving with the same team that knows your project: hired on demand, starting at 10 hours per month.
It includes continuous CRO, SEO and GEO, design, Shopify training for your team and monthly meetings, according to the agreed scope.
Is it better to hire an agency or build the Shopify store myself?
If your store is your main sales channel, hiring a Shopify agency usually costs less in the end: you launch faster, avoid technical mistakes that hurt sales and start with conversion and SEO best practices from day one.
Doing it yourself works to test an idea, but takes time to learn design, code and SEO.
Does Aloft work with companies outside Brazil?
Yes. We work with brands in Brazil, Latin America, North America and Europe, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Projects outside Brazil are run remotely, with online meetings.
