Custom Shopify
Development.
We build the Shopify storefronts that the theme store can't. Custom sections, real 3D product experiences, B2B wholesale flows, and the unglamorous integration work that makes a catalogue behave.
How we actually work on this
Theme engineering, not theme editing
Most Shopify problems are theme problems: a bought theme, six apps layered over it, and a storefront that loads slowly and converts worse than it should. We build sections and blocks properly, so your team can compose pages in the admin without a developer, and so nothing you add tomorrow breaks what shipped today.
3D and configurators that run in the store
For OLVR we built a ring designer inside Shopify: three separate data streams — engraving, stones, metal — reconciled into one interface a customer can actually use, on a product page that still loads fast. That work is on the site, in detail, including the parts that were difficult.
Migrations that keep what you earned
Moving from WooCommerce, Magento or a bespoke platform is mostly a URL and redirect problem wearing a design costume. We map every existing URL before anything is designed, so the traffic you already have lands somewhere on the new store instead of a 404.
B2B and wholesale
Customer-specific pricing, net terms, quantity breaks, gated catalogues, and the reporting to see what's moving. Shopify does this well now, but only if it's configured by someone who has done it before.
The work behind the claim
Not a list of capabilities. The actual builds, the writing that shows the thinking, and the sectors we have done this in before.

Read the store first
We go through the theme, the app stack and the analytics before quoting. Half the time the answer is smaller than the brief.
Scope in pieces
Storefront, configurator, B2B and migration are quoted separately, so you can drop one without unpicking the rest.
Build against real data
We work with a copy of your catalogue, not ten placeholder products, because catalogues are where builds break.
We are a Vancouver studio, and most of our commerce work ships to brands in Canada and the United States. Time zones matter more than postcodes for this work, so we take clients across North America and Europe.
Straight answers
Do you work with Shopify Plus?
Yes. Plus matters when you need checkout extensibility, multiple storefronts, or B2B on the same catalogue. Below that, standard Shopify plus good engineering is usually the cheaper right answer, and we will tell you when that is the case.
Can you work on our existing store?
Usually. We start by reading what is there and telling you what is worth keeping. If the theme is sound, rebuilding it is a waste of your money — that call is the first thing we make, not the last.
How long does a custom Shopify build take?
A focused storefront is typically six to ten weeks. Configurators, B2B flows and migrations add to that, and we scope them separately rather than hiding them in a single number.
