Hire Senior Shopify Developers Who’ve Built Stores That Convert

A Shopify store that generates $50M in annual revenue is a fundamentally different engineering challenge than a $500K store. The Shopify developers you need — the ones who’ve built custom checkout experiences, headless storefronts, complex B2B pricing systems, and high-volume flash sale infrastructure — are on our bench ready to join your team.

We match you with senior Shopify developers who’ve built and optimized stores for e-commerce leaders, celebrity brands, and high-growth DTC companies processing millions in transactions monthly. Engineers who understand Liquid, the Storefront API, Shopify Plus customizations, and the performance engineering that separates a 3-second store from a sub-1-second store.

Start in days, not months. Pay 50% less than equivalent US-based Shopify talent.

What Our Shopify Developers Build

Custom Theme Development

Shopify 2.0 themes built from scratch — performant, accessible, and conversion-optimized. Dawn-based customizations, custom sections, and metafield-driven content architectures that give your merchandising team full control without developer intervention.

Shopify Plus & Enterprise Customization

Checkout.liquid customization, Checkout Extensibility, B2B pricing and customer accounts, wholesale portals, multi-store architectures, and Shopify Scripts for complex discount logic — the features that require Shopify Plus expertise.

Headless Shopify Development

Next.js and Hydrogen (Remix) headless storefronts with Shopify Storefront API and Customer Account API. Custom frontend experiences that maintain Shopify as the commerce backend while enabling design and UX freedom beyond theme limitations.

Shopify App Development

Private and public Shopify apps using the Admin API, Webhook API, and App Bridge 3.0. Custom apps for inventory management, custom ordering workflows, loyalty programs, and third-party integrations not available in the app store.

Performance Optimization & CRO

Core Web Vitals optimization (LCP, CLS, FID/INP), page speed audits and remediation, lazy loading strategies, critical CSS extraction, and third-party script management. Every 100ms of page speed improvement is measurable revenue.

Client Success Story: DTC Beauty Brand — 41% Increase in Conversion Rate

A fast-growing DTC beauty brand with $15M ARR was losing an estimated $3.2M annually to cart abandonment and poor mobile performance. Our Shopify developers rebuilt the store on a custom Shopify 2.0 theme with a redesigned checkout flow (2 fewer steps), a persistent cart experience, and mobile-first performance optimization that brought LCP from 4.8s to 1.2s. The custom color swatch selector and bundle-building feature drove a 23% increase in average order value. Overall conversion rate improved 41% from baseline. The store generated an additional $6.1M in revenue in the 12 months following launch.

Client Success Story: Wholesale B2B Portal — $12M New Revenue Channel

A consumer goods manufacturer wanted to open a direct B2B wholesale channel through Shopify Plus without disrupting their existing DTC store. Our developers built a custom B2B portal using Shopify Plus’s B2B features with tiered pricing tables, minimum order quantities per SKU, net payment terms, purchase order upload, and a custom company account management portal. The portal onboarded 340 retail accounts in its first 6 months and generated $12M in B2B revenue — a channel that hadn’t existed 8 months earlier.

Why Companies Choose Our Shopify Developers

• Shopify Plus expertise: Custom checkout, B2B, scripts, and headless — not just theme edits
• Performance-focused: Every engagement includes Core Web Vitals baselines and targets — because page speed is revenue
• CRO fluency: They think about conversion, not just code — A/B testing, funnel analysis, and UX optimization are part of the build process
• 50% cost savings: Senior Shopify expertise at a fraction of US market rates
• Fast start: Most engagements begin within 1–2 weeks

Engagement Models

• Individual Shopify Developer — One senior Shopify developer embedded in your team. Ideal for custom theme builds, Shopify Plus customizations, or headless storefront development.
• Shopify Development Pods (2–3 developers) — Shopify developer paired with a frontend specialist and QA. Common for full store rebuilds or major platform migrations.
• E-Commerce Teams (3–8+ engineers) — Complete squads for high-volume stores requiring continuous development, optimization, and integration work.
• Contract-to-Hire — Evaluate a developer’s Shopify output before committing long-term.

How To Vet Shopify Developers

Our Shopify vetting identifies developers who understand the platform deeply — not just Liquid templating.

1. Technical screening — Shopify 2.0 architecture (sections everywhere, metafields, metaobjects), Storefront API (GraphQL), Checkout Extensibility vs. checkout.liquid trade-offs, and Shopify app architecture. Over 90% of applicants do not pass this stage.
2. Portfolio review — Live Shopify stores they’ve built. We check PageSpeed scores, mobile UX, and implementation quality — not just visual design.
3. Live coding challenge — Implement a custom Shopify section with metafield integration and a Storefront API query. Evaluated on code quality, Shopify best practices, and performance considerations.
4. Communication screening — Shopify developers work closely with merchants, marketers, and designers. Clear communication is non-negotiable.

What to Look for When Hiring Shopify Developers

Strong Shopify developers understand conversion optimization and platform architecture — not just Liquid syntax.

What strong candidates demonstrate:

• They discuss Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed as standard parts of every build — not optional extras
• They understand the trade-offs between theme-based and headless Shopify approaches and can recommend the right architecture for your revenue and complexity level
• They know Shopify’s API surface — Storefront API, Admin API, Webhooks — not just the Liquid templating layer
• They’ve built Shopify Plus features: custom checkout flows, scripts, B2B portals, or multi-store architectures

Red flags to watch for:

• Portfolio stores score below 70 on mobile PageSpeed — performance is non-negotiable
• Has only made theme edits in the online store editor — no custom section or Liquid development experience
• No experience with Shopify APIs (Storefront or Admin) — can’t build integrations or custom apps
• Can’t discuss conversion rate optimization fundamentals or A/B testing approach

Interview questions that reveal real depth:

• “Walk me through how you’d improve a Shopify store’s LCP from 4 seconds to under 2 seconds. What’s your diagnostic process?”
• “When would you recommend a headless Shopify architecture over a standard Shopify theme? What revenue and complexity thresholds drive that decision?”
• “How would you build a custom tiered pricing system for a B2B wholesale customer on Shopify Plus? Walk me through your architecture.”
