🌟 2025, what a year! 🌟

Not only the year dear digital celebrated five years of existence, but also the year we leveled up in almost every way.

✨ Moved into our own office in Ghent
✨ Became an Odoo Gold Partner
✨ Kicked off our Walloon chapter
✨ Grew to 55+ people
✨ Travelled al over the world for conferences and weddings 🥂

And the best part? We had a lot of fun doing it.

What next year will bring? Let’s just say... stay tuned 😉

No doubt there will be some Jeune Premier bags under the Christmas tree 🎄🎁

But what about those who are looking beyond the new, and open to the charm of second-hand luxury?

💡 In this case study, we explore how the Second Life app we developed for Jeune Premier creates a win-win-win scenario: for the brand, for the planet, and for smart shoppers.

We got featured in Trends-Tendances 🤩

In this interview, our Managing Director Wallonie Emmanuel explains how we're becoming one of the key partners helping companies scale with Odoo, and why our expansion into Wallonia & France is so important.

A few highlights from the article:

✨ The Odoo ecosystem is booming (now valued at €5B+) and demand for strong partners is higher than ever
✨ We're one of the fastest-growing Odoo integrators in Belgium
✨ Companies choose us because we're more than a implementator: we own the change, helping teams adopt Odoo and Shopify effectively

A big thank you to Trends-Tendances for the feature, and to all clients who trust us with their transformation journeys - thank you for helping us grow!

Vamos! 🚀

In Part 2 of our Shopify Pricing Deep Dive, we break down how Shopify Payments actually works - and why transaction fees often have a bigger impact on margins than the monthly subscription itself 💸

Whether you use Shopify Payments or a third-party provider like Mollie, Stripe, or PayPal, the total cost per order can vary a lot.
Understanding that difference is key if you're scaling.

In this blog we cover:
✅ how Shopify Payments fees work per plan
✅ what Shopify charges when you use external providers
✅ the exception for Shopify Plus
✅ when a third-party payment provider still makes sense

If you want clarity on your payment fees and especially how they impact your bottom line, this one is worth a read! 👇

Discover how Shopify Payments actually works, why Shopify pushes merchants toward it, how fees differ per plan, and what happens with a third-party provider.
