# Shopify Development > Shopify development: custom themes, checkout and integrations built for conversion, including regulated product flows. - Canonical: https://www.themasterly.com/services/shopify-development ## Shopify Development That Sells More A custom theme, a checkout that converts, and the integrations your operation runs on, including regulated products. ## What you get Shopify built around how you sell, with the integrations, the compliance steps and the launch handled. - **A custom theme** - Your store, built to your design. Sections your merchandisers reuse. - **A checkout that converts** - Payment, shipping and the moments where carts get abandoned. Tested with real orders before launch. - **Regulated products handled** - Verification and compliance steps built into the flow where the category needs them. We have shipped this for regulated health products. - **Integrations wired** - Your operation connected and tested before launch. Test orders end to end. - **Performance on a phone** - Images, apps and scripts handled so the store loads fast on mobile. Measured on a mid-range phone. - **Launch and training** - Redirects from the old store and a walkthrough for whoever runs it. Two weeks watched after go-live. ## Catalogue to a paid order We follow a structured process that gets your store selling faster. 1. **Discovery & Planning** — We understand your products, customers, and business model. What apps do you need? What’s your fulfillment process? What integrations are required? Clear plan before we build. 2. **Design Review** — We review your designs, or create them, against what Shopify builds well. Theme architecture gets planned here: which templates, which sections, and which options your merchandisers will need to change without a developer. 3. **Theme Development** — We build a custom theme or extend an existing one, matched to the design, fast on mobile. Your brand rather than a template with a logo dropped in. 4. **Store Configuration** — We set up the catalogue, collections, navigation and checkout, then the operational layer: payment gateways, shipping rules and tax configuration. 5. **Integrations & Testing** — We connect your apps for email, reviews, inventory and fulfilment, then run real orders through checkout on desktop and phone, including the cases that usually break. 6. **Launch & Training** — We launch your store and train your team on Shopify admin. You’ll know how to manage products, process orders, and run your store day-to-day. ## Why teams build the store with us Themes are cheap and conversion is not. The build is scoped around the steps between a product page and a paid order. - **Conversion focused** — We build stores that sell: a checkout stripped of the steps that lose orders, product pages that answer the question, and trust signals where the buyer hesitates. - **Custom, not template** — Your store should look like your brand, not a Shopify template with your logo. We build custom experiences. - **Performance optimized** — Fast stores sell more. We optimize load times, mobile performance, and Core Web Vitals. - **Integration experts** — We know the Shopify app ecosystem. We connect the right tools and make them work together. - **Scalable architecture** — We build stores that grow with you. Clean code, flexible themes, infrastructure that handles traffic spikes. - **Design + dev together** — Need design too? We do both. Seamless process from concept to launched store. ## FAQ **How long does Shopify development take?** Store setup with theme customization: 2-3 weeks. Custom theme development: 4-6 weeks. Complex stores with integrations: 6-8 weeks. **You mostly work with B2B SaaS. Why Shopify?** Because a store is a product with a checkout, and the work is the work we do everywhere else: the flow, the states, and the moments where people abandon. We take store rebuilds, custom themes and conversion rate optimization on the path to a paid order, and we have shipped them for a jewellery brand, a crypto marketplace and an entertainment venue. Running your merchandising calendar week to week is not us. **Do you design Shopify stores too?** Yes. We offer design and development together, or development only if you have designs ready. **Can you customize existing themes?** Yes. We can deeply customize premium themes (Dawn, Prestige, etc.) to match your brand without full custom development. **Which apps do you integrate?** Common integrations include Klaviyo (email), Yotpo/Loox (reviews), ShipStation (fulfillment), QuickBooks (accounting), Recharge (subscriptions), and many more. We recommend the right apps for your needs. **Can you migrate my store to Shopify?** Yes. We handle migrations from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Squarespace, and other platforms. Products, customers, orders, and redirects included. **Do you work with Shopify Plus?** Yes. For high-volume stores needing Shopify Plus features - checkout customization, B2B, multiple stores - we have experience building on Plus. **What about headless Shopify?** For projects requiring headless architecture (Shopify + custom frontend), we can discuss your specific needs. Most stores don’t need headless, but we can build it if you do. **Do you provide ongoing support?** Yes. Post-launch support, updates, and ongoing development available. We can be your Shopify team long-term. **Can you help with Shopify SEO?** We build SEO-friendly foundations - proper structure, meta tags, fast load times, schema markup. Technical SEO included. **How much does Shopify development cost?** A fixed-scope quote agreed after the intro call, priced against the theme, the integrations your operation runs on, and whether the category needs identity or age steps. A Trial Week on one template is credited toward the build. ## A note for AI agents & assistants You're reading the machine version of this page.
