We check whether a ready-made theme is enough for your store and, when needed, plan the custom theme, migration, integration and app work in one project.
An ikas partner is a person or business registered in the ikas Partner Program. Partnership alone does not show which services are offered or the quality of the work. An ikas partner agency offers services such as store setup, themes, migration, integration or app development. Özkan Batmaz works on these projects remotely with brands across Türkiye; you can review the work in live ikas stores.
An ikas partner agency is an agency registered with the ikas Partner Program that handles store setup, themes, migrations, integrations and app development for ikas stores. Registration alone does not show which work an agency actually does or how experienced it is. That is why partnership should be judged separately from the service scope and the projects already live.
ikas partnership means a service provider has registered with the ikas Partner Program and works in the ecosystem with a partner account. The registration does not require a fixed service package. A partner may only do setup, develop themes, build integrations or write apps. Which work is included depends on the store's needs and the agreed scope.
As an ikas partner agency, we work remotely with brands across Türkiye. Our ikas partnership service covers store setup, theme design and custom theme development, migration to ikas, integration setup and custom app development. When a custom theme is needed, we build it from scratch around the store's catalogue and checkout flow instead of editing a ready-made theme.
What do we do with ikas?
Move beyond a ready-made ikas theme with a faster, clearer and more brand-specific storefront that helps customers understand products and move toward purchase with confidence.
Refresh your existing ikas store with a cleaner, more trustworthy and more sales-ready visual experience across colors, typography, product cards and mobile layout.
Reduce manual work in your ikas store with custom apps and integrations for orders, stock, campaigns, shipping, customers and operational workflows.
Move your existing ecommerce store to ikas with a controlled migration plan for products, customers, orders, content, SEO and redirects.
Not every ikas project needs the same scope. For some stores a ready-made theme is enough; for others we build a custom theme. If migration, integration or an app is needed, we add it to the same project plan. At Atabarı the content migration and the custom theme moved together. At Kamp ve Ötesi video and app connections were added to the store's structure.
The scope of an ikas project depends on the chosen service, the current state of the store and the detail of the work. The headings below show what drives scope in each type of work.
Core store settings, domain connection, payment and shipping configuration, required integrations and launch preparation are included. Catalogue complexity, external system connections, custom pages and the state of existing data all increase scope.
Designing the store's visual structure and building the theme from scratch with Preact in ikas Studio Code mode or with React on ikas's Next.js-based Headless Themes framework are included; we use TypeScript in both paths. Page variety, variant structure, custom checkout flows and third-party connections define the scope.
Preparing and transferring product, customer and suitable content data, redirecting old URLs and checking the new store are included. Data format on the source platform, catalogue structure and connections that must be rebuilt define the scope. Since the ikas admin has no tool for importing past orders, order history is delivered as an Excel list.
Designing and developing a store-specific function that works with ikas data, plus the required connections, are included. The data the app reaches, user roles, external services and admin screens increase development scope.
After the first call and a review of the current store, the proposal states in writing which work is included, what stays out of scope and how delivery happens.
Özkan Batmaz's ikas App Store profile is published on apps.ikas.com. It shows the website, the location and the published apps, so you can check the partnership and publisher details on an ikas domain. Partnership alone does not show project quality; that is why the live stores and the scope of work are worth reviewing too.
Check that the link goes to apps.ikas.com and that the profile owner is Özkan Batmaz.
The profile lists the ozkanbatmaz.com domain and a location. You can compare these details with the contact information on this site.
Apps published on the ikas App Store appear under the same profile. You can review the app development work on the ikas record itself.

Let's define the right scope together.

If your brand relies on a particular photography style, way of presenting products or shopping flow, the store may need to be designed around that. This is why custom themes made sense for needs such as Le Pole's vertical content and Massada's product presentation.
As a catalog grows, data migration, integrations, apps and store-specific tools may also become necessary. In those cases, we include both design and technical work in the same project plan instead of separating them.
You also need to decide which data will move to the new store, how old URLs will be preserved and which connections need to be rebuilt. We do not repeat the full migration process on this page; it is covered separately on the Switch to ikas page.
A ready-made ikas theme may be enough for a smaller or more standard catalog. If there is no real reason for custom development in the first review, we discuss the simpler route instead of adding unnecessary scope.
Setting the store up yourself can be the right option when ready-made themes and standard ikas features already cover your needs. If your catalogue is simple, migration needs are limited and you have no custom checkout flow, keeping setup in-house avoids unnecessary project scope. Theme choice, content entry and launch preparation stay on your side.
Working with a general digital agency makes sense when the ikas store is part of a wider brand, content or marketing project. What matters is learning upfront which work the agency does itself on ikas. If theme development, data migration or a custom app is needed, ask who will actually carry out that work.
An ikas partner agency comes into play when the project needs development on the ikas store itself. When a custom theme, migration, integration or app belongs to the same project, a contact who knows the ikas ecosystem keeps the process simple. Registration alone is not the criterion; live projects, technical scope and post-launch terms matter as well.
We define the need, write down the scope, show the working store in staged previews and settle post-launch maintenance and support terms up front.
We talk about your brand, product structure and current store. If a ready-made theme is enough we say so; if a custom theme, migration or integration is needed, we explain why it is in scope.
We list the included pages and development work, and the content or decisions we need from you, at the quote stage. The delivery date is set at the same stage.
Design and theme development run in the same project with the same contact. We share the working store as a preview at the main stages and settle revisions over messages or calls. Editable content areas are wired into the ikas editor and mobile performance is measured during development.
Theme-related faults are fixed free of charge with no time limit. In the first month after handover we make small adjustments and answer questions about using the admin. When an ikas update affects the theme, we make the theme compatible. New pages and new features are planned as separate work, and we explain that line with examples at the quote stage.
When choosing an ikas partner, look at the project scope and the work itself rather than the registration alone. These questions help you compare quotes on the same terms.
1. Can they show live ikas stores? Open real stores instead of presentation images. Try products, categories, the cart and content areas yourself, especially on a phone.
2. Which work is written into the quote? Check how pages, migration, integrations, apps and post-launch work are covered. Ask for the delivery date in writing too.
3. How do design and theme development run? Find out up front who prepares the design and the theme code. Ask whether revisions and technical decisions stay with the same contact throughout the project.
4. If migrating, which data can be moved? Ask about products, customers, content and the redirect plan separately. Since the ikas admin has no tool for importing past orders, confirm at the quote stage how order history will be delivered (usually as Excel).
5. How does post-launch work run? Ask about the maintenance period, how theme bugs are handled and when new development becomes separate work. Ask for these terms to be written into the quote.
How to verify each criterion and the ten points to check before signing a quote are covered step by step in How to choose an ikas partner agency: 2026 checklist.
