We are working on a new Shopify store for St Albans Museums

10/06/2020 - Ecommerce

St Albans Museums + Gallery is a local museum in the city of St Albans. It is also a world-class centre for arts and culture at the heart of one of Britain's most historic cities. We’ve been working with St Albans Museums since 2018, having originally developed their website and (Eventbrite) event integration. And we’re super excited to be working with them again, this time helping develop a brand new Shopify store.

St Albans Museums opted for Shopify for their new ecommerce store, due to the platform’s flexibility and scalability (for example it’s able to manage both retail products and timed entry ticketed events), its relatively short deployment timescale (i.e. time from build to launch) and just as importantly, Shopify’s traction within the sector (it’s BY FAR the most popular eCommerce platform within the arts & cultural and heritage sectors).

With COVID-19 compelling more and more organisations to put digital first and be step up their commercial activities, Shopify (and other ecommerce platforms such as BigCommerce) are a great opportunity, for us to support our arts & cultural and heritage clients, such as St Albans Museums to better leverage their digital presence and help their organisation tackle the effects of the pandemic.

As a Shopify Plus partner we’ve seen the power of Shopify and the excellent results it can deliver for a wide range of organisations, from Sir John Soane Museum to Catherine Hills Jewellery and fashion brands Hype and Marques Almeida.
