Qikify is excited to announce a new partnership with Playceholdr, a New Zealand-based eCommerce agency, to give Shopify and Shopify Plus merchants across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond a stronger path from strategy to execution.
About Playceholdr
Playceholdr is a specialist Shopify and ecommerce agency based in New Zealand, working with established and growing brands across New Zealand, Australia, and the wider APAC region. The agency provides bespoke Shopify and Shopify Plus website design, development, and ecommerce strategy, helping brands build scalable online stores around their customers, operations, and long-term growth.
Playceholdr's expertise extends beyond Shopify website development. The team works across ecommerce UX/UI, store migrations, B2B and wholesale, third-party app integrations, ERP and operational systems, conversion optimization, and ongoing Shopify consulting, giving clients one experienced ecommerce partner across strategy, design, technology, and ongoing optimization.
Key services include:
- Bespoke Shopify & Shopify Plus website design and development
- Shopify store redesigns, migrations & theme development
- Ecommerce strategy, UX/UI & conversion rate optimization
- Shopify B2B, wholesale, ERP & third-party integrations
- Ongoing Shopify development, consulting & optimization
What the partnership means for merchants
Through this partnership, Playceholdr will bring Qikify's app ecosystem into the custom Shopify and Shopify Plus builds it delivers for clients, recommending, configuring, and integrating the right combination of Qikify apps as part of each project.
For merchants, this means:
- Custom storefronts and B2B builds from Playceholdr that come pre-configured with conversion tools like Checkout Customizer and upsell/cross-sell apps from Qikify, rather than bolted on after launch.
- Ongoing support that spans both design/development and app-level optimization, since Playceholdr's post-launch CRO work can be paired directly with the data and controls inside Qikify's apps.
- A single point of expertise for stores that need both a technically complex build and a conversion-focused toolkit to match.
Rather than treating design, development, and app tooling as separate workstreams, the partnership is built around the idea that a store performs best when its foundation and its optimization layer are designed to work together from day one.
Qikify and Playceholdr will continue to expand this collaboration as more merchants in Australia, New Zealand, and beyond look for a combined solution that scales with their growth.
