Do you build new Shopify stores or improve existing ones?
Both. Some brands need a full custom build or Plus migration; others need performance work, app cleanup, and ongoing support on a solid foundation. The strategy call decides which path fits.
When do we need Shopify Plus or headless instead of a standard theme?
When checkout customization, B2B/wholesale, multi-store, or serious traffic volume come into play. We'll tell you honestly if a standard theme is enough. We don't upsell tiers you don't need.
Can you migrate us from another platform without losing SEO rankings?
Yes. That's the whole point of a disciplined migration. Redirect mapping, metadata preservation, and staged QA are non-negotiable parts of every replatform we run.
Is ongoing maintenance included, or a separate service?
It's available as its own retainer, or bundled with a build. Either way, monitoring, updates, and priority fixes keep the store stable long after launch day.
How do you measure success on a Shopify engagement?
Conversion rate, page speed, uptime, and revenue per session. Instrumented cleanly so you see what actually moved, not vanity metrics.
How fast can we start?
Most builds start within a week of the strategy call, once your storefront, app stack, and go-live timeline are scoped.
Do we own what you build?
Yes. The store, theme code, custom apps, and Shopify account are all yours. DEVLIP builds and can maintain it, but nothing is locked to us.
What are the contract terms?
Scope, theme or Plus tier, timeline, and terms get confirmed in writing before development starts. No surprises, no fine print.
What does this cost?
DEVLIP runs three tiers built for scope, not a fixed price sheet: Launch, Scale, and Portfolio, each custom-quoted to your scope. A single storefront build or maintenance retainer usually fits Launch or Scale, while Shopify Plus, headless, and multi-brand work moves into Portfolio. See Pricing for the full breakdown, or book a free call for an exact number.
How do we pay you?
Bank transfer, wire, card through Stripe, or PayPal, for the build and any ongoing maintenance retainer alike. Whichever works best for you.
