Shopify Store Development

Shopify store development, from the first design to launch. We build the store and move your catalogue from another platform. Then we connect it to the systems that run your orders, stock and finance.

What our Shopify store development covers

Shopify store development covers the storefront and the systems behind it.

  1. A theme built from reusable sections, so your team can update pages without a developer.

  2. Move products, customers and URLs with a full redirect map, then check everything at launch. How we plan a migration

  3. Company accounts, trade price lists and order rules, matched to the right Shopify plan. How B2B works on Shopify

  4. Custom features for the rules that Shopify settings and existing apps can't handle.

  5. Upgrade to Plus only when checkout or B2B needs justify the cost. Checkout changes go through Shopify's checkout extensions.

  6. Lookbooks, guides and landing pages come from a CMS, so editors publish without touching the theme.

  7. Attributes, media and translations come from your PIM, so each product reaches Shopify complete.

  8. Orders, stock and prices move between Shopify and your ERP. Each field has one owner, and a failed sync raises an alert.

  9. Customers, orders and consent go to your CRM, so your team sees each buyer's full history.

  10. Invoices, VAT and payouts post to your accounting software and are matched to Shopify orders.

Connect your Shopify store to your ERP and accounting

Shopify store development includes the systems behind the store. We connect them, so orders, stock and invoices move without anyone retyping them.

Warehouse and deliveryYour WMS, DPD
→ Orders to pick and ship← Tracking numbers

Accounting and reportingYour accounting software, Power BI
→ Invoices, payouts and VAT→ Sales and margin

Can you connect our ERP?

Usually, yes. We check its API first, then tell you what can move and how often.

What happens when a sync fails?

The order waits in a queue and we get an alert. Once the problem is fixed, it goes through, so no order is lost.

A ready-made app or custom code?

An app when it covers your rules. Custom code when it doesn't, for example B2B prices or several warehouses.

How do we start?

With a free integration audit. We map your systems and what should move, then send a priced scope.

Shopify store development FAQ

Short answers about Shopify store development. Ask Cody for anything else.

What does Shopify store development include?

Shopify store development covers the theme, custom features, app setup and the systems behind the store. Depending on the project, it also includes a migration from another platform, B2B ordering or ERP and accounting integrations. We scope it around how you sell, then price each phase.

Which kind of Shopify store do we need?

The right Shopify store depends on how your customers buy. Fast-moving DTC brands do well on a proven theme with custom product pages, brand-led stores need their own design system, and trade buyers need company accounts and quick reorders. We start from your buyers, then decide how much custom work the store needs.

Can Shopify handle B2B and wholesale ordering?

Yes, Shopify supports B2B ordering with company accounts, customer price lists, payment terms and quick reorders, and Shopify Plus raises the limits, for example on price lists. We map your accounts, prices and approval rules before we recommend a plan, and pass every trade order to your ERP.

Can you migrate our store to Shopify from WooCommerce or Magento?

Yes, we migrate stores to Shopify from WooCommerce, Magento and custom platforms, moving products, customers, orders and URLs. PuzzlesPrint moved from a plugin-heavy WordPress store, and customising a puzzle now takes one click instead of seven. Every old URL gets a redirect before launch.

What should a Shopify migration plan include?

A Shopify migration plan needs a data map, a redirect for every old URL and a test plan for checkout, payments and customer accounts. It also lists the apps and integrations to rebuild, and who checks indexing in Google Search Console after launch.

Will moving to Shopify hurt our SEO?

A move to Shopify keeps most of your search traffic when every old URL redirects to its new page and the titles and content stay the same. Nobody can promise unchanged rankings, so we compare traffic and indexing for several weeks after launch and fix what drops.

When does a Shopify store need custom development?

A Shopify store needs custom development when the theme and existing apps can't handle your rules, such as B2B price logic, product configurators or ERP connections. Custom code needs upkeep, so we add it only where an app won't do the job.

Do we need Shopify Plus?

Most stores launch fine without Shopify Plus. Plus makes sense when you need checkout changes, very high order volumes or B2B rules with many price lists. We check your rules against each Shopify plan before you pay for an upgrade.

Can one Shopify store sell in several countries?

Yes, one Shopify store can sell in several countries through Shopify Markets, with local currencies, languages and domains. We set up the translations, hreflang tags and prices for each market, so every country gets its own version in search results.

Can Shopify connect to our ERP and accounting software?

Yes, Shopify can send orders to an ERP such as Visma Horizon, Jumis or Visma.net and get stock, prices and order status back. Each field has one owner, and a failed sync waits in a queue with an alert, so no order is lost. We check your system's API before we quote.

What is the free Shopify integration audit?

The free integration audit maps your Shopify store, the systems behind it and the data that should move between them, and how often. You get a list of the connections to build, with a ready-made app or custom code for each, and a priced scope.

Do you help with SEO, email and ads after the Shopify store launches?

Yes, after launch we run ecommerce SEO, AI search, email flows and Google and Meta ads for Shopify stores. Each channel is judged on the orders and margin it brings, and reported monthly. The details are on our ecommerce marketing services page.

How much does Shopify store development cost?

Shopify store development is priced per project, after a short review of your store. The price depends on the storefront design, the catalogue and the integrations, so a launch on a proven theme costs far less than a migration with B2B pricing. You get a fixed price for each phase before work starts.

How long does it take to build a Shopify store?

The time to build a Shopify store depends on three things: the design, how ready your product data is and the integrations. A store on a proven theme launches much sooner than a custom store with ERP links. We set dated milestones once the scope is clear.
