Hire a Shopify expert, or a whole Plus team.
Hire a Shopify expert for the work your team cannot absorb — a Plus migration, a custom checkout, a Hydrogen storefront, a B2B rollout. A certified Shopify Plus partner, engineers at a monthly rate per role, and no hourly meter running.
Shopify rewards knowing where its edges are. A capable developer ships a beautiful theme; a Shopify expert knows that checkout.liquid hacks will break, that a Function is the right answer to a discount rule, that metaobjects beat a third-party app for structured content, and that Plus earns its licence at a specific volume rather than in a slide.
We have worked on the platform for eight years and are a certified Shopify Plus partner with Hydrogen and Oxygen in production. The engineers you interview come from the same teams behind our Shopify Plus agency work — including the Hoover storefront.
Engagements are monthly per role on one invoice, starting with a paid two-week trial sprint. Rates sit well below UK, US and Australian agency day rates and above the local offshore floor — we are not the cheapest option and do not try to be. We quote per role on the first call, in writing, with no ramp-up fee.
What you get when you hire Shopify developers here.
Theme and Liquid depth
Custom sections and blocks merchandisers can actually use, Online Store 2.0 done properly, and performance budgets held rather than mentioned.
Checkout extensibility and Functions
Plus checkout UI extensions, discount and delivery Functions, validation — inside Shopify’s safety boundaries. No upgrade-breaking checkout hacks.
Hydrogen and Oxygen
Headless React storefronts on Shopify for brands that need full control of the frontend while keeping Shopify’s checkout and back office.
Shopify B2B
Company accounts, catalogs and price lists, payment terms and draft orders — using native B2B instead of bolting a wholesale app onto DTC.
Apps, private and public
Private apps for one brand’s operations, and public app submissions when the tool is worth selling. Webhooks, GraphQL Admin API, rate-limit discipline.
Migration experience
Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and custom platforms into Shopify and Plus, with URL mapping and no data loss.
How hiring a Shopify developer works.
Brief in one call
Store, plan, apps, integrations and the backlog. We say plainly whether you need Plus, and whether the job is a hire or a fixed-scope project.
Interview named engineers
The specific people who would join, with their Shopify work. Technical screens run your way. Reject anyone, at no cost.
Paid two-week trial sprint
Real tickets in your repo and your theme. You review the pull requests before committing to anything longer.
Embed and run
Your standups, your board, your release process. Monthly invoice, 30 days notice to change the squad.
The commercials, without a discovery call.
The stack.
Common questions.
Should we hire a Shopify developer or a Shopify Plus developer?
The same engineers do both — the difference is what your store needs. Standard Shopify covers most DTC work. Plus earns its licence at higher volume, or when you need checkout extensibility, Functions, B2B or scripts. We will size it against your actual numbers instead of upselling the tier.
What does it cost to hire a Shopify expert here?
Rates sit well below UK, US and Australian agency day rates and above the local offshore floor — we are not the cheapest option and do not try to be. We quote per role on the first call, in writing, with no ramp-up fee. Pricing is per role per month, and a single senior developer is a common starting squad.
Can you work in our existing theme without breaking it?
Yes, and that is usually the first test we set in the trial sprint. We work in your repository with your review process, and we will flag the parts of an inherited theme that need refactoring before new features land on top of them.
Can we hire Shopify developers for a migration off Magento?
You can, but for a full replatform most clients are better served by a fixed-scope engagement where we own the risk — see e-commerce replatforming and our Magento to Shopify migration guide. Staff augmentation suits the work after the cutover.
Do your developers work with apps or build custom?
App first when a good app exists — we are not paid by lines of code. Custom when the app costs more than it saves, cannot be extended, or puts your checkout at risk. We will show you the arithmetic either way.
Can we hire one Shopify developer rather than a team?
Yes, one senior developer is the most common single hire. Add QA if you release weekly — see QA & test automation.
