Maukau

Founded in Paris in 2016 as one of the first French agencies to specialise exclusively in Shopify, Maukau has since repositioned itself as an e-commerce operating partner rather than a traditional agency billed by time spent. It works with a selective portfolio of high-potential e-commerce brands, particularly those running or migrating to Shopify Plus, and describes handling accounts as if they were its own rather than delivering siloed, one-off services. The team is small, between one and ten people, and states an average growth figure of 78% during clients' first year of support, positioning itself for brands aiming at aggressive scaling and internationalisation. The agency's declared scope covers strategy (data audit and analysis, product launches, commercial operations, internationalisation), marketing and customer experience (CRM, CRO, server-side tracking, copywriting, loyalty programmes, community management, customer service, affiliation), and operational execution (Shopify front-end and back-end development, graphic design, UX/UI, supply chain, logistics, automation and AI). It also handles replatforming projects, migrating stores to Shopify from Magento, PrestaShop, WordPress and similar platforms. Beyond standard development, Maukau describes technical work on scalable architectures, complex back-end automations, custom integrations and performance optimisation to support high-volume growth. Its stated approach prioritises actions with measurable business impact on revenue and profitability, explicitly avoiding projects it considers to have no tangible return, in favour of continuously identifying growth levers across the full e-commerce operation.
