This became the crux of the idea – to take on the responsibility of turning a local retailer into an online store. The original concept of Schuhe24 was born. The range of shoes on offer is vast and there are endless retailers asking to take part. Our service coveres all parts of the value chain in ecommerce: content, software, payment, marketing, customer support and after sales-marketing.
The products are offered on several online stores (Schuhe24, Outfits24, Taschen24, etc.), as well as on channels like AboutYou, Trendyol, Limango or Mirapodo, Görtz and 40more.

They need no specific knowledge, need no specific software and have no capital requirements.
