Who this is for

If you don’t have a Shopify store yet, this is the page.

Not a redesign of a live theme. Not a cleanup of a DIY setup. A first store — from a blank Shopify account to a shop that can take a real order.

New Shopify storefront on mobile, with collections and a product ready to sell

First brand, first store

You’re launching for the first time

The product is ready. Shopify isn’t. We set up the storefront, catalog, payments and training so the first shoppers can buy — not bounce off a half-built shop.

Shopify storefront selling in multiple countries with local currency, duties and taxes

Retail, wholesale, pop-up

You already sell. You need a store that can sell anywhere.

You have a brand, products and customers — you need the ecommerce layer. Catalog, checkout and markets set up around how you already sell, including duties and taxes for the countries you’re entering.

Selling a product on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Amazon, eBay, Google and Facebook from one Shopify catalog

TikTok, Amazon, Instagram

You’re renting shelf space. You want your own store.

Social and marketplaces got you started. An owned Shopify store lets you keep the customer, the brand and the margin — and still sell on every channel from one catalog.

What’s in a first-store launch

Theme, catalog, checkout — then the keys.

Not a half-configured theme and a hope. Scope is fixed before we start so launch day has no surprises — and your team can run the shop without us.

Discovery & roadmap

Goals, audience, catalog shape and must-have features — subscriptions, markets, apps — locked into a timeline and a fixed quote.

Theme & storefront

Most first stores launch on a premium Shopify 2.0 theme customized to the brand. Need a from-scratch storefront? That’s a theme design path.

Catalog & content

Products, collections, pages and essential content structured for Shopify — ready to sell, and easy to expand after launch.

Payments, shipping & tax

Checkout configured for the markets you sell in — gateways, rates, duties and taxes — so the first order can actually go through.

Apps & integrations

Email, analytics, fulfillment and the tools your operations need — connected and tested. Custom features only where native Shopify or an app can’t do the job.

Training & handover

Hands-on sessions and guides so your team manages products, content and orders from day one — plus the first weeks of support after go-live.

Comes with Shopify

Checkout, hosting, and security — already built in.

A new store doesn’t start from zero on the hard parts. Shopify ships the checkout, the servers, and the security. We set up everything around them so the first order actually goes through.

Unbeatable checkout

Every Shopify store comes with the world’s best-converting checkout, built right in.

Free, reliable hosting

Globally distributed servers and speed-optimized storefronts won’t leave your visitors hanging.

Secure by default

All Shopify stores are PCI compliant and SSL certified, so your business and customer data stay protected.

The Sip Order

5+ drink brands into one Shopify store — live and selling.

We launched The Sip Order as a new storefront: catalog, checkout, shipping and subscriptions set up so 5+ drink brands could sell from one shop — three languages, eight countries, and a store the team could run from day one.

How a new store gets launched

Validate the stack. Then build.

Native Shopify, the right apps, or custom work — decided before development starts, so you don’t pay to find out later.

  1. 01

    Understand

    We start with your goals, customers, catalog and markets — and the features the store actually needs. Stakeholders leave aligned on scope, timeline and budget before anything is built.

    You get: A clear launch plan and a fixed price.

  2. 02

    Validate

    We work out what Shopify can handle natively, which apps make sense, and where custom development is needed — so you don’t pay to find out later.

    You get: A stack decision you can stand behind.

  3. 03

    Design & build

    We turn the agreed solution into the storefront: on-brand theme, catalog, payments, shipping, tax, apps and any custom features — built on a development store, never a half-live shop.

    You get: A working store on a preview link to test yourself.

  4. 04

    Test, launch & train

    Checkout, forms, mobile, speed and analytics get real-device QA. Then we go live, train your team on products, content and orders, and stay close through the first weeks.

    You get: A tested store, live — plus the training to own it.
