We are proud to announce that Swanky is now recognised as a Shopify Premier Partner, one of only 42 in the global Shopify ecosystem and seven in the UK.
This promotion reflects our continuously evolving expertise, the maturing of our service offering, and our longstanding commitment to delivering exceptional solutions on Shopify.
The Premier Partner tier is one of five tiers set out by Shopify in its new-look Partner Program: Registered, Select, Plus, Premier and Platinum. Service partners are tiered based on aspects such as verified skill development and commercial impact, with the exclusive Premier tier reserved for high-performing partners who are “typically preferred by large enterprises”.
A trusted and experienced Shopify agency
Being awarded Shopify Premier Partner status marks an exciting and proud milestone in Swanky’s journey.
We launched our first Shopify store in 2012. Four years later, we were one of the first three agencies in Europe to be recognised with official ‘Shopify Plus Expert’ status when Shopify launched its first Shopify Plus partner program.
Since then, we’re proud to have been at the forefront of Shopify’s innovative and dynamic global ecosystem, supporting their mission to make commerce better for everyone. We work exclusively with the Shopify platform, and today Swanky is the largest full-service independent Shopify partner in the UK.
Over the last decade we’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of brands around the world, including the likes of HelloFresh, Huel, Newcastle United FC, Wilkinson Sword, bond-eye swim, daysoftⓇ, YuMOVE, Eden Project, One Retail Group, Saddleback and 82°E. Our work has always been defined by a shared passion for pushing boundaries, exceeding targets, and driving success for our clients.
Today, Swanky’s international teams offer a full suite of services, launching brands on Shopify with intelligent ecommerce solutions, then helping to grow their businesses with data-driven digital strategy.
Recently, we have expanded our service offering even further to include Systems Integration, becoming a certified Patchworks delivery partner, and a standalone Klaviyo marketing service, with a dedicated delivery team to help clients maximise the potential of email and SMS marketing.
What does this promotion mean in practice?
With the introduction of Shopify’s new Partner Program, it’s now even easier for retailers to identify high performing agencies with the skills and experience to help them succeed. Shopify recognises that larger enterprises have more advanced requirements and that they need mature partners to deliver high-profile transformation and change management projects. Swanky’s exceptional track record has led to the promotion to the Shopify Premier Partner tier.
For our clients, we will continue striving to deliver best-in-class ecommerce solutions and growth strategies, with specialised support from Shopify to help you achieve your business goals.
Looking ahead as a Shopify Premier Partner
We look forward to strengthening our partnership with Shopify throughout 2025 and beyond, continuing to create compelling digital experiences for mid-market and enterprise retailers around the world.
