Yorkshire

Best Shopify Developers in Yorkshire

Leeds has one of the strongest Shopify clusters outside London, with Sheffield and East Yorkshire adding more. It also attracts plenty of agencies from other counties with Leeds landing pages. This guide separates them. We're a Shopify Select Partner in Kent, and we'd rather say so than rent a postcode.

Got something on your mind?

Real agencies, and a lot of borrowed addresses

Last reviewed October 2026. We wrote this and we are on the list, so read it with that in mind. Details of other firms are from their own sites and may have changed.

Leeds really is a serious ecommerce city. Onstate and Northern Artillery between them work with Mamas & Papas, World of Books, Abbott Lyon, Silver Cross and Micro Scooters. Herd, over in East Yorkshire, sit in Shopify's own Plus partner directory. There's real capability here.

What muddies the results is everyone else. Of the agencies ranking for Leeds and Sheffield searches, we found contact pages giving Stevenage, Manchester, Nantwich and Dorchester. Remote work is normal, and we do it ourselves, but you should be choosing it knowingly.

Quick comparison

Locations come from each agency's own contact page or Companies House record, never a regional landing page.

The five, one by one

  • 1. Dev Partners (that's us)

    We write code rather than configure themes. If your store needs to agree with your ERP, warehouse or accounts system, or you're moving platform, that's our ground. We build shops as well, but custom work is where we're strongest.

  • 2. Onstate

    Bespoke Shopify builds and migrations for established fashion and homeware retailers, based at The Boulevard in Leeds.

  • 3. Northern Artillery

    Custom themes, bespoke functionality and Plus migrations, and they say plainly that they integrate with ERP, CRM and fulfilment systems.

  • 4. Herd

    Creating, migrating and optimising Shopify stores alongside performance marketing, from Hessle, about an hour from Leeds.

  • 5. Cefar

    Shopify is one of nine services, next to WordPress, marketing and software. It suits a business that wants one agency for several things.

The honest summary

For a Leeds retailer who values being in the room, Onstate or Northern Artillery are excellent and you should talk to them. If you want an agency you can walk to, Leeds is well served, and we'd tell you that on a call.

For a store whose real problem is that Shopify can't see its stock properly, that's our day job. Most of what we do is custom code and integration rather than theme work: connecting Shopify to NetSuite, Peoplevox, Sage, 3PLs and bespoke back-office systems. When you get in touch you speak to Rob or Jase, and the people who scope your project are the people who build it.

Where we fit

We're the people you ring when the shop is fine and everything behind it isn't: stock that's wrong, orders being retyped, and apps nobody understands.

Over the years we've worked with AX Paris and Motel Rocks, connecting Shopify to NetSuite, 3PLs and returns. Here's how integrations work, or everything we do on Shopify.

How we judged them

We left out anyone we couldn't place properly, and judged the rest on five things.

  • Custom code or configuration

    There's a real difference between writing software and assembling a configurable platform. For simple needs either can work. For anything custom, only the first will do.

  • Integration

    Most projects need to connect to something. Doing that reliably is a distinct skill, and not everyone has it, even if they say they do.

  • Track record at your scale

    A firm whose usual job is small will be stretched by something business-critical, and the opposite is true too.

  • Who does the work

    Some firms pitch senior people and deliver through junior or outsourced developers. We favoured those where the people who talk to you write the code.

  • Where they really are

    A lot of firms publish a landing page for a county with no office there. Several well-ranked names were left out here for that reason.

How to choose

Check the address. Look at the contact page, not the Leeds landing page. Then decide whether it matters to you.

Ask them to name the system. "ERP integration" means little until someone names NetSuite, Peoplevox or whatever you run, and shows you one they've done.

Look at partner status properly. Tiers are partly self-reported on agency sites, so check Shopify's own directory. And ask who'll write your code. More in our guide to Shopify partners in the UK.

Questions we get asked

  • Are you based in Yorkshire?

    No, we're in Gravesend, Kent, and work with retailers remotely.

  • Can you work alongside our Yorkshire agency?

    Yes, happily. Plenty of stores keep a design or marketing agency and bring us in for the code behind it.

  • Do you build whole stores?

    We do, though custom apps, integrations and migrations are what we lead with.

  • Can you connect Shopify to our ERP?

    Yes. It's the most common thing we're asked to do.
