Recommendations for third-party systems

    Our external system recommendations

    Not everything needs to be built from scratch. For some jobs there are ready-made systems that do the work well - these are the ones we use ourselves and on client projects. You can set up your own account directly.

    Third-party products - not built by us

    Every system on this page comes from an external provider. None of them are DigifyNow products, we neither build nor operate them. Contract, pricing, data processing and support run directly between you and the provider. What we did build ourselves is on our references and apps page.

    Systems we use ourselves

    Briefly: what we use the system for, who it pays off for - and where to create your own account.

    Our partner links come with exclusive benefits at the provider. They cost you nothing extra - you still create the account yourself, in your own name.

    Shopify

    Online stores & e-commerce

    Selling with payment, shipping and tax built in - without running shop software yourself.

    Shopify is the platform we build online stores on. DigifyNow is an official Shopify Partner: we create the store through our partner account, set it up and hand it over to you in full - from then on the contract and the invoice are in your name. The Shopify apps we develop come through the same access.

    What we use it for

    • Building online stores - from the storefront through to checkout
    • Setting up payment methods, shipping rules and tax rates properly
    • Building custom extensions where the standard falls short
    • Taking over existing stores, tidying them up and looking after them

    Worth it if

    You sell goods and want a store that already brings payment, shipping and tax with it - rather than running shop software yourself.

    We are an official Shopify Partner

    External provider

    Brevo

    Email marketing & automation

    Newsletters, transactional email and automated sequences from one account.

    Brevo is a European email marketing platform. Newsletters, automated sequences and the emails your software sends by itself all run through the same account. We reach for Brevo whenever email has to arrive reliably without buying into a large marketing suite first.

    What we use it for

    • Newsletters and campaigns to your own contact list
    • Automatic email from your software: confirmations, invoices, password resets
    • Sequences that keep running by themselves after an enquiry
    • Keeping contacts and lists in order instead of managing them in spreadsheets

    Worth it if

    You send email regularly, prefer a European provider and want to start small - the entry tier is free.

    Railway

    Hosting & operations

    Applications, databases and test environments without your own server.

    Railway is a hosting platform that runs applications, databases and background services straight from the source code. A large share of the software we build runs there - with separate test and live environments, so changes are reviewed before they go public.

    What we use it for

    • Running web applications, interfaces and background services
    • Databases including backups, without managing servers yourself
    • Separate test and live environments for safe releases
    • Room to grow as usage increases - without rebuilding the infrastructure

    Worth it if

    You run an application of your own and would rather not deal with servers, updates or releases.

    Hostinger

    Domains, web hosting & mailboxes

    Domain, web space and mailboxes in one place - the groundwork every website needs.

    Hostinger is classic web hosting: register a domain, put a website on it, run email on your own domain. That is deliberately something different from Railway, where applications built from source code run. We use Hostinger for the groundwork: the address a site is reachable at, the space behind it, and the mailboxes that belong to the domain.

    What we use it for

    • Registering and managing domains, several for one company where needed
    • Email on your own domain instead of a free mail provider
    • Hosting straightforward websites that need no application of their own
    • Setting up SSL certificates and redirects without server knowledge

    Worth it if

    You need a domain, mailboxes in your own name or a manageable website - and would rather not run a server or a development platform for it.

    WaveSpeed AI

    AI images, video & voices

    Over a thousand AI models for image, video and sound through one account.

    WaveSpeed AI gathers the common AI models for images, video, speech and music on a single platform — from image generators to video models. Instead of keeping an account with every provider, everything runs through one access, billed per generation rather than as a subscription. We use it for advertising material and for applications meant to produce images or video themselves.

    What we use it for

    • Producing images and video for advertising and social media
    • Trying out new models without signing up everywhere
    • Building image and video generation right into your own application
    • Paying only for what is actually generated, with no monthly base fee

    Worth it if

    You need image or video material regularly, or plan an application that generates media itself, and would rather not manage several providers in parallel.

    Higgsfield AI

    AI video & imagery

    Cinematic clips and images without a camera or a studio.

    Higgsfield AI is a toolkit for moving images: generate video from a description, direct the camera movement, transfer a motion from an existing clip onto a new scene, or lock a look once and keep it across a whole series. We use it for advertising clips and for image sets that need to belong together.

    What we use it for

    • Producing short advertising clips without a shoot or an edit suite
    • Directing camera movement and look instead of leaving it to chance
    • Transferring a motion from an existing clip onto a new scene
    • Setting a visual style that every further image picks up

    Worth it if

    You need moving images regularly and would rather not book a crew or a studio - while still deciding how the result looks.

    Apify

    Data collection & automation

    Pulling data off the web and automating repetitive work in the browser.

    Apify is a platform for ready-made and custom web automation: a program opens pages, reads out what is needed and hands the result over as a table or straight into your own software. We use it to compile lists, keep an eye on prices and availability, and automate research someone would otherwise do by hand. If you are asked for a referral code while signing up, it is digifynow.

    What we use it for

    • Collecting publicly available data on a schedule instead of retyping it
    • Watching prices, availability or competitors automatically
    • Using ready-made building blocks rather than writing one per source
    • Handing results straight to your own software or spreadsheet

    Worth it if

    Someone in your team regularly gathers data off the web - and that time would be better spent elsewhere.

    Make

    Automation & integrations

    Connect systems and automate recurring steps without writing code.

    Make connects programs that do not talk to each other on their own: a new lead from the form lands in the CRM by itself, a paid invoice triggers the order confirmation, a row in a spreadsheet creates the task in your project tool. You assemble it in the browser as a visible flow of boxes and arrows, without a line of code. We use it wherever two off-the-shelf systems only need a bridge between them - and building something custom would be overkill. If you are asked for a partner code when signing up: digifynow.

    What we use it for

    • Moving enquiries and leads into the CRM and spreadsheets automatically
    • Sending invoices, confirmations and reminders without manual work
    • Syncing data between two systems that have no integration of their own
    • Running recurring steps on a schedule, including overnight

    Worth it if

    Details are being retyped from one system into another at your company. Two things worth knowing: billing is per executed step, so a frequently running flow becomes an ongoing cost worth calculating up front. And whatever carries your core business belongs in your own software eventually - a flow in Make is harder to test and version than code.

    Superchat

    Customer communication

    WhatsApp, Instagram, email and SMS in one shared inbox.

    Superchat gathers the channels customers actually write on into a single inbox the whole team works in. A German company with servers in Germany. For many businesses this is the point where messages stop disappearing into individual staff members' private WhatsApp.

    What we use it for

    • Answering enquiries from WhatsApp, Instagram, email and SMS in one place
    • Working as a team: assign, leave notes, never answer the same thing twice
    • Letting recurring replies and routines run by themselves
    • Sending messages to your own customer list, WhatsApp included

    Worth it if

    Enquiries reach you across several channels and you are losing track - especially if WhatsApp has been running on private phones so far.

    Elfsight

    Social widgets & website blocks

    Instagram feed, Google reviews or a WhatsApp button on your site - without writing code.

    Elfsight provides ready-made blocks to drop into an existing website: your own Instagram feed, your Google reviews, a contact form, a WhatsApp button. Everything is configured in the browser and added with a single line of code. It saves building things from scratch that are allowed to look the same on hundreds of sites - and you can maintain them without us.

    What we use it for

    • Showing your own Instagram or Facebook feed on the website
    • Displaying Google reviews instead of only linking to the profile
    • WhatsApp, chat and contact blocks with no custom development
    • Changing announcements and notices without touching the page

    Worth it if

    You need blocks like these and would rather not spend development time on them. One caveat: they load from third-party servers. On this website our Google reviews from Elfsight only load after consent in the cookie banner; whether that is enough for your site is a question for your data protection adviser.

    Growing list

    This list keeps growing

    We keep reviewing new systems and only add what has proven itself on real projects. Missing an area - accounting, telephony, analytics? Ask us and you will get an honest assessment, even for systems not yet listed here.

    Transparency

    How these recommendations come about

    Only systems from our own day-to-day

    Everything listed here is something we use ourselves or run on client projects. None of it is paid placement.

    Partner links with a benefit for you

    A few of the links are partner or referral links. Going through one gets you exclusive benefits with the provider, and we may receive a small credit on top. Those links are marked as a referral link.

    No extra cost for you

    A partner link never makes anything more expensive - if anything it is the cheaper route. And whether a system appears here is decided by how it performs in practice, never by a commission.

    How it works

    From account to finished setup

    You can use any of these systems on your own. If you would rather we handle it, this is the route:

    1

    Create the account yourself

    You sign up directly with the provider. Contract, credentials and invoice stay in your name - you remain the owner.

    2

    Grant access (optional)

    If the setup should come from us, invite us as a team member. You can revoke that access at any time.

    3

    We set it up and connect it

    We configure the system, connect it to your software and hand over a short briefing for your team.

    Your accounts, your data, your contracts: we work inside your access, not the other way around.
    Not sure what fits?

    We will tell you honestly what you need

    Sometimes a ready-made system is enough, sometimes it takes something built for you. In a first call we work out which route is faster and cheaper in your case.
