Shopify badges and certificates we are proud of
Awards, certificates, and badges are visible proof of expertise, specialization, and commitment. Some of these recognitions are awarded directly by Shopify through its Partner Program or Shopify Academy to agencies and experts who have demonstrated in-depth skills and knowledge of the Shopify platform. They highlight specializations, technical expertise, and a commitment to providing high-quality e-commerce solutions. Other awards come from independent institutions such as iBusiness or the Shop Usability Award. Together, they show that Latori GmbH continuously invests in knowledge, quality, and innovation. We are particularly proud of the following awards:
Shopify Plus Partner since 2019
Latori GmbH has been an official Shopify Plus agency since 2019, making it the first Shopify Plus partner in the German-speaking region. We have been working with Shopify since 2012 and have successfully implemented numerous projects with Shopify and its enterprise version, Shopify Plus. Since then, we have been offering comprehensive services such as shop migrations, custom programming, design, marketing, and app development.
Shop Usability Award 2023
In 2023, three of our customers were honored with the coveted Shop Usability Award—and we ourselves took home the prize for “Agency of the Year.” Asphaltgold, Sennheiser, and Sheko won awards for their outstanding shops in the categories of Fashion & Accessories, Electronics & Entertainment, and FMCG.
Shopify Platinum Partner 2025
Another milestone for Latori: After being named a Shopify Premier Partner earlier this year, we were officially named a Shopify Platinum Partner just a few months later—the highest partner level in the Shopify ecosystem! This award recognizes our many years of expertise, successful projects, and the trust that Shopify places in us.
This partnership underscores our position as one of the most experienced Shopify experts in the German-speaking world. From complex headless commerce solutions and custom app development to holistic e-commerce strategies, we set the standard for innovative, scalable, and high-performance Shopify stores.
Top Internet Agency 2025
We are among the top 100! Latori has been named one of the top 100 internet agencies by iBusiness, and we couldn't be prouder! But that's not all: we are also among the top 20 e-commerce agencies. We would like to thank iBusiness for this award and our own team for their hard work!
GERMAN AGENCY AWARD 2025
Every year, numerous advertising agencies demonstrate great creative and strategic commitment to strengthening their clients' market position and ensuring their competitiveness. In addition to innovative strength, analytical thinking and precise implementation are also required.
With our project for mymuesli, which included migration to Shopify Plus and programming of the muesli mixer, we were able to convince the jury and are now officially one of the best agencies in Germany.
We are delighted that our projects are having an impact and inspiring enthusiasm.
Latoris' Badges from Shopify Academy
The Latori GmbH team undergoes continuous training to stay up to date with the latest Shopify developments. To this end, we regularly complete courses and exams at the Shopify Academy. Below you can see all the badges we have already received from Shopify for our achievements.
Asphaltgold
Since its founding in Darmstadt in 2008, Asphaltgold has become a fixture in the sneaker scene. The online shop impresses with clear product presentation, exciting stories about the models, and a seamless user experience. One focus is on mobile-first: customers can shop easily via smartphone, browser, or the in-house app, which also offers exclusive features such as raffles for limited releases. This earned Asphaltgold the award in the Fashion & Accessories category.
Sheko
The young company SHEKO brings healthy nutrition directly to the shopping cart. In addition to shakes and supplements, the shop offers an interactive calorie calculator that calculates personal nutritional requirements. The offering is complemented by a comprehensive guide and a recipe book that provides customers with practical tips for everyday life. SHEKO won the award in the FMCG category for this mix of functionality and added value.
