Shopify agencies in Belgium: who shows their work, and what does a partner label say?

Search for a Shopify agency in Belgium and the results page consists of two kinds: commercial directories that collect agencies without testing a single one themselves, and agencies praising themselves. For this list I checked what every agency makes publicly verifiable, and above all who shows clickable, named, live client work. That turns out to be the rarest trait in the entire sector, and yet it is the most direct proof of what you will get as a buyer.

How was this list compiled?

One testable criterion: the agency verifiably runs Shopify webshops as a named service on its own site, and is Belgian; where a business address is missing from the site, that caveat is stated explicitly in the table. All entries were checked on 17 August 2026 against the agency’s own site and, where applicable, the official Shopify directory profile.

The disclosure, upfront and not in a footnote: ClickForest is in this list and has an interest in you choosing us. That is why this article contains no quality ranking, only a classification of what each agency publicly shows, and why there is a section at the bottom about who we are not the logical choice for.

What this overview deliberately does not do. It carries no prices, because what having a webshop built costs already covers the full bill. It contains no links to the other agencies, because their name is enough to find them. And being in this list means an agency verifiably runs the service, not that it is good at it. What you do get here is proof you can click through yourself.

Which Belgian agencies build Shopify webshops?

Seven, from very small teams to an agency with, by its own account, over sixty experts, and the official Belgian Shopify directory counts another twenty-four names that are not profiled below. The order is a classification of what each agency publicly shows and explicitly not a ranking.

Three caveats around the field. Radikal names an address in Antwerp on its own site while the directory profile says Kontich, presumably a move; we follow the directory profile. The Belgian Shopify directory counts twenty-seven listings on 17 August 2026, including an international group with a Belgian office and an entity that looks like a British company with a Brussels address; anyone using the directory as a shortlist had best weigh those separately. And the pattern from the previous lists shows up here too: at least one seemingly Belgian offer runs on a .be domain with exclusively Dutch offices and a Dutch VAT number. Checking the address at the bottom of a site remains the quickest test there is.

Who shows live client work, and why does it outweigh a logo?

Almost nobody, and that is the most striking outcome of this count. Five of the seven agencies show logo walls, brand names or internal case pages, but on their homepage or service pages no clickable link to a client’s real webshop. The exceptions are KISS Consulting, with two named client shops with a working URL, and ClickForest.

ClickForest builds Shopify webshops for SMEs in Flanders and shows nine open clickable client shops on the projects page, each with the name and our share attached: some we built entirely, for others we do the marketing or the technology. So the exact thing this article asks of every agency, we apply to ourselves first.

Why that is the most honest proof: a logo on a site is a claim, a live shop is a fact. You see for yourself how the shop looks, how fast it loads and whether it is still running. Certificates and tiers say something about the agency; a clickable shop says something about what you will get. The sector federation of web builders already put the underlying idea into words in 2020, in the middle of the first online acceleration:

“The webshop is not a disposable product, but it can well be part of your survival strategy as well as your future strategy.”

— Patrick Marck, then director of FeWeb, the Belgian federation of web companies, in 2020

An agency that dares to show its work invites you to judge that strategy question yourself. How you then choose between candidates, with the six criteria and the questions for the first conversation, is covered in full in how to choose a Shopify partner; this article is about who is out there and what each agency makes verifiable.

Is every good Shopify agency in the Shopify Partner Directory?

No, and the reason is in Shopify’s own terms: the public directory only starts at the Plus tier, with hard revenue and certification thresholds. The directory is therefore by construction a list of large partners, not a quality mark. An agency that is not in it can be a perfectly good agency; one that is in it has above all proven scale.

The thresholds themselves, from the eligibility page: bring in at least 500,000 dollars a year in revenue for Shopify through referred clients, or represent 2.5 million dollars in Shopify revenue across existing clients, plus at least ten Verified Skills spread across three or more employees. Note the wording: that is revenue the agency generates for Shopify, not the agency’s own revenue or that of its clients. A limited number of Registered partners can also get a listing, but the rule is clear.

That explains why Belgium counts exactly twenty-seven on 17 August 2026, including at least one Platinum agency (Radikal) and one Premier agency (dear digital), both confirmed on their official Shopify profile. And it also explains who is not in it: virtually every founder-led agency working for Flemish SMEs. For anyone who wants to search wider than Shopify alone: the Belgian web federation FeWeb has a public member search with more than five hundred members and a code of conduct.

ClickForest itself is not in it, and this article should simply say so. We are a Registered Partner in the Shopify Partners programme, the tier where according to Shopify’s own documentation every partner starts. What a directory listing proves is scale towards Shopify; what it does not prove is that an agency delivers good work for a shop of your size. Our proof is therefore not in a directory but in the previous section: nine client shops you can click right now, with our share stated per shop. What the partner tiers mean exactly and when they matter for you is explained in the partner guide.

Which agency suits a B2B webshop?

The agency that understands a B2B shop is a different thing from a consumer shop: client-specific prices, order lists, quote flows and a connection to your ERP or accounting weigh more heavily there than design. So ask an agency not just about webshops, but about B2B webshops it has built, and about which connections were involved. The live-work criterion from above works twice as hard here, because B2B cases are rarer and harder to fake.

The catalogue role a webshop plays alongside sales applies even more strongly in B2B than with consumers. UNIZO’s retail expert described that mechanism at the publication of the e-commerce report in March 2025:

“Customers often want more than just a physical store, and use the webshop not only to shop, but also as an online catalogue […] to find inspiration and prepare for their visit.”

— Chiel Sterckx, retail expert at UNIZO

For anyone starting from an existing system, the migration approach is usually the starting point; what Shopify can do as a platform for B2B and where the limits are is covered in the platform comparison.

How many Shopify stores does Belgium count?

About 18,700, of which some 810 on Shopify Plus, according to store counter StoreLeads as of 14 August 2026. That figure comes from a commercial crawler that counts stores through detection, so read it as an order of magnitude and not as an official statistic; an older version of the same page still counted 17,826, which immediately shows how volatile such counts are. An official Belgian count per platform does not exist.

The context around it has been measured officially: Belgians spent 17.4 billion euros online in 2024 according to the annual report of e-commerce federation Becom, and in the first half of 2024 the country counted 63,867 webshops according to the same federation. The pressure on that market now comes from outside, and the federation does not mince its words:

“It is no secret that Chinese players such as Shein and Temu grow by 20 to 30 percent a year, despite their questionable reputation.”

— Greet Dekocker, managing director of Becom

That is the sober reason the agency choice matters: against that competition you will not make it with a half-finished shop. How the wider market is evolving is in the Belgian e-commerce trends; why a shop gets visitors but no orders is covered in webshop not converting.

Who is ClickForest the right choice for, and who not?

For SMEs and scale-ups in Flanders that want a Shopify webshop built or migrated by someone who does the work themselves and keeps supporting it afterwards. ClickForest builds Shopify webshops for SMEs in Flanders, founder-led from Bonheiden near Mechelen; the nine live client shops show named work with our share per shop, from startup or migration to maintenance afterwards.

For a local angle: the Mechelen region has its own page.

And honestly, three situations where you are better off elsewhere. If you run on Shopify Plus or enterprise volumes, the Platinum and Premier agencies in the table are the more logical address, because that scale is exactly what their tier stands for. If you want a rollout with dozens of developers and formal governance, you are better off with the big players in the directory. And if you mainly want to build it yourself to save the build cost, the guide for setting up a Shopify webshop yourself exists precisely for that.

Conclusion: which test costs you one minute?

This one: show me three webshops you built, live, with the client’s name attached, and tell me what your share was. Every agency that delivers good work can answer that question in one minute. Whoever starts about certificates, awards or logo walls without a single clickable shop has also given you your answer, just differently.

A professor who researches retail and e-commerce sums up the attitude that gets you furthest as a buyer:

“The biggest tip I can give is: look before you leap. Think carefully about which digital possibilities create added value. Which applications make sense, and why?”

— Els Breugelmans, professor at KU Leuven

What struck me most while compiling this: the sector that lives off online visibility barely makes its own work visible. ClickForest builds Shopify webshops for SMEs in Flanders and therefore simply puts its client work online, with names and its own share attached; read this list with that knowledge. Comparable overviews exist for AI chatbot agencies and AI agent specialists, and the terms from this article are in the glossary.
