Shopify Development
Shopify Partner · Auckland, NZ
We don't build template stores and call it a day. As an official Shopify Partner based in Browns Bay, Auckland, we design conversion-ready stores around your products, your customers, and the NZ market — then back them with ongoing local support.
What's Included
From brand-new stores to complete rebuilds — designed around your customer journey and conversion goals, not a generic starter template. From $2,990 + GST.
Deep Liquid template editing, section schemas, and custom JavaScript. We bend Shopify themes to fit your brand, not the other way around.
Shopify Payments, POLi, Windcave, Afterpay, Stripe, PayPal — the payment methods your NZ customers actually use, all configured and tested.
Real-time rates at checkout with NZ Post, CourierPost, Aramex, and Mainfreight. Customers see accurate shipping costs before they pay — fewer abandoned carts.
Xero for invoicing, Klaviyo for email flows, Meta Pixel + GA4 for tracking, and CRM connections. Your store connected to the tools you already use.
Custom-trained AI assistants for your Shopify store — answering product questions and capturing leads 24/7, no staff required. A FrankDevs speciality.
We structure collections, write SEO-optimised product descriptions, and configure schema markup so Google can actually find and rank your store.
Moving from WooCommerce, Wix, or Squarespace? Full migration: products, customers, order history, SEO redirects — zero downtime, nothing lost. From $599 + GST.

FAQ
Yes — Shopify's Basic plan starts at around $39 USD/month (billed to you directly). You own your store and subscription. We'll recommend the right plan for your expected sales volume. As a Shopify Partner, we can also help you get started.
Absolutely. We handle the full migration: products, customer records, order history, and SEO 301 redirects to protect your Google rankings. Most migrations complete within 1–2 weeks.
We configure Shopify Payments (lowest transaction fees), POLi (direct bank transfer — very popular in NZ), Windcave, Afterpay (buy-now-pay-later), Stripe, and PayPal. We'll recommend the right mix based on your customers.
Yes — our Shopify Care Plans start at $49/month. Unlike WordPress maintenance, Shopify's platform handles security updates. Your monthly task hours are used for performance tuning (removing ghost scripts from uninstalled apps) and marketing pixel health checks.
Shopify is a fully hosted, all-in-one platform — no servers to manage, no plugin conflicts, automatic scaling. WooCommerce (on WordPress) gives more flexibility but requires more hands-on maintenance. We can advise which is right for your situation in a free consultation.
Yes — this is one of our specialities. We build custom-trained AI assistants that answer product FAQs, handle returns enquiries, and capture leads 24/7 without staff involvement. Ask about this in your consultation.
We specialise in a wide range of Shopify customisations, including layout changes, adding custom sections, dynamic product bundles, custom filters, colour swatches, cart logic, animations, metafield integrations, and more. If you have a specific idea or feature in mind — chances are, we can build it!
Yes! We can replicate the design pixel-perfectly, whether it’s a reference store, a Figma/Photoshop design, or just a screenshot. Let’s bring your vision to life.
Yes, we always prioritise minimising disruptions. All customisations are done on a duplicated and unpublished theme version of your live store. This ensures your store stays fully functional and visible to customers while we work behind the scenes.
Yes! We always build with the Shopify admin in mind. You’ll be able to manage text, images, products, and even custom sections easily — no coding required. We also provide a short walkthrough after delivery.
We begin with a thorough discussion of your requirements. Once we've outlined the scope, we'll provide a detailed proposal and timeline. We work closely together, providing regular communication and progress updates until the final launch.
Project scope changes or additional feature requests can impact the timeline. However, we're committed to working closely with you to manage these changes effectively and ensure they align with your project's goals.
Our revision policy includes dedicated rounds of revisions to ensure your satisfaction. We ask for clear and specific feedback to help us implement changes efficiently. Note that significant scope changes may impact the timeline and cost, which we will discuss upfront.
