Quick Answer: Shopify Development for a Canadian Business

Shopify handles hosting, payments and security for you. What still needs a developer is the theme, the integrations and a store structure that converts, and that is what we build.

You are in the right place if:

  • You are launching a Shopify store in Canada
  • Your theme needs custom sections or features
  • You are migrating to Shopify from another platform
  • You need apps connected to inventory, accounting or shipping
  • Your store is slow or converting poorly
  • You want a developer on call for your Shopify store
A regular business website starts at $2,000 CAD; stores and custom features are quoted per project. Book a free consultation and we will tell you honestly what your business needs.

Shopify Development for Canadian Businesses

We provide shopify development for businesses across Canada, from the GTA, where our office is, to every province and territory. The work is done by our own developers in Mississauga, Ontario, quoted in Canadian dollars, and delivered to you wherever you are.

Canadian clients get a team in their own country and currency: a fixed, itemized quote with no exchange rate to work out, a developer contact on Eastern Time, and the domain, hosting and code registered in your company's name from day one. Clients in the Greater Toronto Area can meet us in person; everyone else works with us over video calls, email and a shared project board.

Every project is handled in-house by our shopify development team, and you can see recent work in our portfolio. Reviews are on our Google Business Profile.

What an Online Store Costs in Canada

A regular business website starts at $2,000 CAD. Larger sites, online stores and custom features are quoted per project, because every website is different. After a free consultation you get a fixed, itemized quote before any work begins. Online stores fall under the custom tier.

Most business websites

Regular Website

From $2,000 CAD

A business website that tells people what you do, where you are and how to reach you. Built on WordPress so your team can update it, with a fixed quote before work starts.

Custom Project

Quoted per project

Every website is different, so anything beyond a regular site is scoped with you first and quoted as a fixed, itemized price before any work begins.

  • Online stores on Shopify or WooCommerce
  • Large or multi-location sites
  • Booking, quote carts and member areas
  • Integrations with your CRM, email or inventory
  • Custom web apps in React or Next.js
  • Moving a large existing site without losing rankings

Best for: Retailers, growing companies and anything with custom functionality

Prices are in Canadian dollars. Every project starts with a free consultation and a fixed, itemized quote, and if the scope changes later we quote the change first. More in how much a website costs.

How a Project Runs

The same five steps for every client, whether you are across the street from our office or across the country.

1

Discovery call

A free call over video or phone about your business, your customers and what the project needs to do. No pitch deck, just questions.

2

Scope and quote

A written scope and a fixed, itemized quote. You know the price and the schedule before any work begins.

3

Design and build

Designs reviewed in your browser, then the build on a private staging site you can test from anywhere.

4

Launch and training

A launch checklist, training for your team and everything registered in your company's name.

5

Ongoing care

Optional maintenance plans from $149 a month, or hand the site to your own team with full documentation.

Who We Are

A Mississauga, Ontario web and software development team, working with businesses in every province and territory.

We hold a 5.0 rating on Google from 90+ reviews. You can read them on our Google Business Profile, see recent projects in our portfolio, or read more about the team.

Shopify Development in Canada FAQs

Questions Canadian business owners ask before starting.

Ask Us Anything
Do you build custom Shopify themes or customize existing ones?
Both. For most Canadian stores a well-chosen theme with custom sections is faster and cheaper. Brands with specific design requirements get a theme built from scratch. We tell you which is sensible after seeing your catalogue and designs.
Can you connect Shopify to my accounting or inventory system?
Yes. QuickBooks, Xero, inventory tools, 3PLs and POS systems are common integrations, either through existing apps or a custom connection when no app does the job.
Do you offer Shopify maintenance?
Yes. Our Shopify maintenance plans cover theme backups, app and theme update testing, checkout checks and fixes, from $149 a month.
Do you work with businesses anywhere in Canada?
Yes. We are based in Mississauga, Ontario and work with clients in every province and territory. Discovery calls, design reviews, testing and training all happen over video and screen sharing, so the project runs the same way in Halifax, Winnipeg or Victoria as it does in the GTA.
Are your prices in Canadian dollars?
Yes. Every quote is in Canadian dollars, fixed and itemized, so there is no exchange rate to work out and no surprise on the invoice. You can pay by card or bank transfer.
Can we meet in person?
In the Greater Toronto Area, yes: our office is in Mississauga and we meet GTA clients in person when it helps. Everywhere else in Canada the project runs over video calls and email, which is how most of our clients prefer to work anyway.
How do time zones work for clients outside Ontario?
Our office is on Eastern Time. That lines up with Ontario and Quebec, is an hour behind the Atlantic provinces, and is one to three hours ahead of the Prairies and British Columbia, which still leaves most of the working day for calls. Meetings are scheduled around your time zone.
