business rules Shopify could not handle out of the box, solved with custom logic
Business Impact
Colours of Mallorca sells wall paint, room fragrances, and ceramics to private and business customers across Germany, the EU, Switzerland, Great Britain, and Norway. Shopify could not handle its category-based shipping, B2B VAT rules, or product-specific cart logic out of the box. By customizing Shopify instead of adding paid apps for every requirement, we delivered every rule while keeping running costs low.
$299.88 saved in the first year on shipping app fees
$2,998.80 in projected savings over 10 years
One checkout for both B2B and B2C customers
Accurate VAT exemptions without manual corrections
Natural English and Spanish content for native speakers
More visibility for complementary products like Primer Gel
Key takeaway: when moving from Magento to Shopify, targeted customization of Shopify’s native settings can replace costly third-party apps — and give a growing brand a solid foundation for international B2B and B2C sales.
