Shopify Select Partner, a short drive from most of Surrey

Shopify Developers in Surrey

Surrey retailers have plenty of Shopify agencies to pick from, in Guildford, in Woking and in London. We're not a design shop. We're who you call when Shopify needs to do something it won't do out of the box.

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

Location isn't the real question

It's tempting to choose on postcode. The distinction that matters more is technical.

An agency that sets up themes and installs apps will serve a simple store perfectly well, and if that's what you need, you've got good options locally. Connecting Shopify to an ERP, a warehouse system or a 3PL is a different skill, and it needs someone who writes integration code.

That's where we sit. Most of our work is custom apps, integrations and migrations. We build stores too, but it's the hard part behind them that we're best at.

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.

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.

Written in-house, by people who answer the phone.

We're a Shopify Select Partner based in Gravesend, Kent, with an in-house UK team. Nothing goes offshore, and you won't be passed to an account manager.

We're a short drive from most of Surrey. Day to day it's remote, with video calls and a development copy of your store, and we'll come over when being in the room helps.

Who we've worked with

Over the years we've worked with AX Paris, Motel Rocks and Chi Chi London, all needing custom Shopify work and integration that a theme and an app stack couldn't deliver. Read the Motel Rocks story.

How to choose a Shopify developer

  • Do they write code or configure apps?

    Ask to see some of it working.

  • Have they integrated with your systems?

    NetSuite, Peoplevox and custom ERPs each have their quirks.

  • Who does the work?

    Ask whether the person pitching is the person building.

  • What happens after launch?

    Integrations break when the other side changes. Someone needs to be looking after them.

Questions from Surrey brands

  • Can you build our new store?

    Yes, we do build stores, though custom apps, integrations and migrations are the bulk of our work. If you've got a designer you like, we'll happily work with them.

  • Can you connect Shopify to our warehouse or ERP?

    Yes, that's the core of what we do.

  • We're on an old platform. Is moving risky?

    Done carelessly, yes. Done properly it protects your rankings and trading. Here's how it runs.

  • Do you look after it afterwards?

    Yes. We stay on, with the people who built it.

Signs you've outgrown your setup

Someone exports orders into a spreadsheet every morning. Stock is right in one system and wrong in another. Your app bill keeps growing, and three of the apps are there to fix problems caused by the other four. A wholesale customer wants trade pricing and you've run out of workarounds.

None of those is a design problem, so a new theme won't help. They're engineering problems, and they're what we like.

We'd start by looking at what you've got and how orders really flow through the business. If a simple change sorts it, we'll say so. If it needs building, you'll get a clear plan with a fixed price for each step, and it's built on a development copy of your store so your live site is never at risk.

We use AI, carefully

AI helps us get through custom Shopify work much faster. Our developers still design it, read every change and test it against your real data. How we use it.
