Shopify Development That Goes Beyond the Template
We design, build, and scale Shopify and Shopify Plus stores for brands that need more than an off-the-shelf theme - custom storefronts, checkout extensibility, app integrations, and conversion-focused UX, delivered by one in-house team.
Shopify Partner Agency | In-House Delivery
Shopify wins on speed to market. What you build on it decides how far you scale.
Shopify gives you the most reliable commerce foundation on the market. What separates a store that converts from one that plateaus is the quality of the build: theme architecture, app choices, and checkout experience. SnapTec builds Shopify the right way, the first time.
Shopify Development Capabilities
From new builds to complex customisation. Every project is engineered for conversion, performance, and maintainability.
Custom Theme Development
Your brand built natively in Shopify 2.0 with section/blocks architecture - no bloated page builders, no theme-store compromises, full merchandising control for your team.
Shopify Plus Builds
B2B wholesale channels, Launchpad automation, Shopify Flow, expansion stores, and the dedicated infrastructure enterprise operations demand.
Checkout Extensibility
Custom checkout UI extensions, validation rules, post-purchase upsells, and Shopify Functions for discount and delivery logic your business model requires.
Custom App Development
When the App Store doesn't have what you need, we build it: private and public apps developed to Shopify standards with documented, upgrade-safe architecture.
Headless & Hydrogen
Hydrogen and headless storefronts on Shopify's Storefront API for brands that need complete frontend freedom without giving up Shopify's commerce engine.
Third-Party Integrations
ERP, WMS, 3PL, email platforms, loyalty programs, and subscription engines - mapped and connected on Shopify's API layer.
Store Redesign & CRO
Conversion-focused redesigns of existing Shopify stores: UX audit, redesign, A/B-testable rollout, and measurement against agreed KPIs.
Ongoing Development Retainer
A dedicated Shopify engineering resource on retainer - continuous feature development, performance work, and technical roadmap execution without recruitment overhead.
What Every SnapTec Shopify Project Includes
Architecture-First Planning
Theme structure, app stack, and integration architecture designed before a line of code is written. Decisions made upfront are 10× cheaper than refactoring later.
UX & UI Design
In-house UX design aligned to your brand, your customer journeys, and conversion best practices.
Performance-First Development
Every build targets key Google metrics (Core Web Vitals scores) that support organic ranking and paid traffic efficiency.
App Stack Audit
We audit every app for performance cost and overlap before it ships. Fewer, better apps - not a stack of conflicting subscriptions.
Structured QA & Testing
Full checkout flow testing, product display QA, and mobile responsiveness audit across every critical user journey before launch.
Full Documentation Handover
Technical documentation, admin guides, and developer notes delivered at project close, so your team isn't dependent on us to understand what was built.
Why Merchants Choose SnapTec for Shopify Development
There are a lot of Shopify agencies. Here's what separates us.
Platform Agnostic
We are Shopify Partner, Magento certificated, WordPress and Salesforce experts and much more, which means we can objectively advise on platform fit rather than defaulting to our preferred ecosystem.
Proven Across Complex Stores
We've delivered Shopify builds with large multi-market catalogs, ERP-connected operations, and subscription commerce. Complexity is our default, not an exception.
In-House Only
No subcontracting. Your project is handled by the same team you briefed from day one, development, design, QA, and infrastructure.
Clear-Price Milestones
Scoped before contracted. You know the cost and timeline before work starts, and we hold to it.
US-Aligned Delivery
US business hours project management, same-day response SLAs, and structured weekly progress calls. You're never chasing an update.
Post-Launch Growth Support
We offer ongoing Shopify retainers covering CRO, feature development, and performance monitoring, so the relationship doesn't end at launch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you build custom themes or customise existing ones?
Both. For new builds we develop custom Shopify 2.0 themes with section/blocks architecture. For existing stores we audit the current theme first - if it's a solid foundation we extend it; if it's fighting you, we'll recommend a rebuild and show you why.
Do you work with Shopify Plus?
Yes. We deliver Shopify Plus projects including B2B wholesale setup, checkout customisation via Checkout Extensibility and Shopify Functions, Launchpad, Shopify Flow automation, and multi-store expansion.
Can you build a custom Shopify app for us?
Yes. When the App Store doesn't cover your requirement, we scope and build private or public apps to Shopify's standards, with documentation and upgrade-safe architecture, and host the infrastructure they run on.
Can you take over an existing Shopify store from another agency?
Yes, this is a common engagement for us. We conduct a full audit of the theme code, app stack, and integrations before taking over. We'll be direct about what we find and what needs addressing before we can guarantee delivery quality.
Do you offer ongoing Shopify development retainers?
Yes. Our retainer model provides a dedicated engineering allocation each month, for feature development, CRO experiments, performance work, and roadmap execution. Clients on retainer get priority scheduling and a named lead engineer.
