Shopify Select Partner, 30 minutes by train

Shopify Developers in London

London has some of the best Shopify agencies in the world. Most are aimed at the enterprise end or the starter end. There's a gap in the middle, and it's where most London retailers actually sit. That's where we're useful.

You'll be talking to one of us, not a salesperson.

Why London retailers look outside London

The big agencies are excellent, and built for global brands. Boutique agencies are accessible, and often light on complex integrations and custom functionality.

If you're a growing retailer with real back-office complexity, you can fall between the two. You don't need a global systems integrator. You do need someone who can make Shopify and your ERP agree with each other.

What we do on Shopify

  • ERP and back-office integration

    Shopify talking properly to NetSuite, Peoplevox, Sage, Xero or your warehouse system, so stock and orders stay right without anyone reconciling them.

  • Custom functionality

    What themes and apps can't do: product configurators, trade portals, account-based pricing and checkout behaviour specific to you.

  • Platform migrations

    Off Magento, Visualsoft, WooCommerce or something home-grown, with products, customers, orders and every old URL handled properly.

  • Alongside your design agency

    Got a designer you trust? Keep them. They own the look, we own the technical layer underneath.

Everything we do on Shopify.

Close enough for any meeting that matters.

We're in Gravesend, 30 minutes from central London by train. That's near enough to be in the room for a kick-off or a go-live, and most of the work happens remotely anyway.

You'll deal with Rob or Jase directly, and the people you talk to are the people building it, all in-house and in the UK.

We've worked with Jason and his team on our Shopify store, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. They clearly understood our vision.

Who we've worked with

Over the years we've worked with AX Paris, Motel Rocks and Chi Chi London, all needing custom Shopify development and ERP integration. Motel Rocks was NetSuite, Shopify, multiple warehouses, 3PL, returns and TikTok, all needing to agree with each other. Read that one.

What to ask a Shopify developer

  • Can I see a working integration?

    Not just a portfolio of storefronts.

  • How do you handle stock across systems?

    Real-time sync and daily batches are very different things.

  • Who writes the code?

    And is it the person in the meeting?

  • What happens when Shopify changes something?

    It will, so someone has to be watching.

Questions from London brands

  • Can you build our new store?

    Yes, we build stores too. It isn't the main thing we do, and if you've got a designer you like, we can do the technical layer underneath.

  • Is Shopify Plus worth it for us?

    Maybe. We'll give you an honest view rather than recommending it by default.

  • Can you move us off Magento or Visualsoft?

    Yes. Here's how a migration runs.

  • What happens after launch?

    We look after it.

Where we fit, and where we don't

If you're a global brand needing a team across several countries, use one of the big names. They're very good, and we'd be the wrong choice. If you want a brand-led store above all else, a design agency may suit you better, though we do build stores too.

We fit when the storefront is fine and the hard part is everything behind it: stock across warehouses, orders flowing into an ERP, returns across markets, and custom functionality no app does.

You'd start with a conversation with Rob or Jase. If an app will do it, we'll say so. If it needs building, you'll get a plan with a fixed price for each step, and we'll build it on a development copy of your store.

We stay on

Integrations break when the other side changes, and Shopify changes often. Once it's live we look after it, with people who know your code. If you've got work somebody else started, we'll take that on too.

Hello, you get us

Rob on the left, Jase on the right. No sales team and no account managers. One of us is on every job, from the first chat to long after it goes live, and the people writing your code sit in the same small team.

Meet everyone

Tell us what you've got

It goes straight to Rob and Jase. You'll hear back from one of us, usually the same day, and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right people.
