Shopify Store Setup and Design

Shopify is a hosted store platform, so there are no servers to look after or software updates to install. The Shopify Store Build sets up and styles a theme you choose, loads up to 50 products, and configures payments, shipping and tax, so your team can run the store day to day without a developer.

Is Shopify the right platform for your store?

Shopify suits brands that want a reliable store with as little technical upkeep as possible. Shopify handles hosting, security and platform updates, and its admin is built for everyday tasks like adding products and processing orders.

In return you pay a monthly Shopify plan, paid apps add to the bill, and there are limits on how far you can change the platform itself. If owning the code and hosting matters more to you, a WooCommerce store on WordPress is the alternative.

What does the Shopify Store Build cover?

The build follows a written scope, so you know before ordering what is set up and what is not. It uses a theme you choose, free or paid, rather than a theme built from scratch.

A Shopify theme set up and styled to your brand, plus up to eight content pages
Up to 50 products loaded from your spreadsheet, with images and variants
Shopify Payments or your chosen provider, shipping profiles and tax settings
Up to three apps installed and set up, such as email marketing or reviews
Google and Meta sales channels and analytics connected
Test orders for every payment method and shipping profile, and recorded admin training

Questions buyers ask

Do I need my own Shopify account?

Yes. The store runs on a Shopify account in your name, and you choose and pay for the plan. If you do not have an account yet, we help you open one. Our team then works through a staff account that you can remove at any time.

What does a Shopify store cost to run?

You pay Shopify for your plan, and app makers for any paid apps, plus payment fees on each sale. Hosting is part of the Shopify plan, so there is no separate hosting bill. All of these are billed to you directly, not through us.

Can you build a custom Shopify theme from scratch?

Not in the standard build, which sets up and styles an existing theme you choose. A theme built from scratch, Shopify Plus features or moving orders from an old store are quoted separately. Add a note at checkout and we send a written Change Quote.
