An award-winning Shopify agency focused on your needs. Are we a match?
We would love the opportunity to work with you, but we understand that you may have some additional questions. This quick Q&A covers a lot of the basics. If you have any additional questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.
What's included in your Shopify store setup service?
We handle the full setup: theme installation and configuration, payment gateway integration (Shopify Payments, PayPal, etc.), shipping zones and rates, tax settings, product and collection uploads, navigation structure, domain connection, and essential app installations. We also configure your email notifications and set up basic SEO foundations so your store is ready to be found.
How long does it take to set up a Shopify store?
A typical store setup takes 2–4 weeks depending on the number of products and level of customization. Stores with under 50 products and a premium theme can launch faster, while larger catalogs or custom functionality may extend the timeline. We’ll give you a clear schedule during our discovery call.
Do I need to have my products and content ready before we start?
It helps, but it’s not required. We can work in parallel — configuring your store while you prepare product photos, descriptions, and pricing. We’ll provide a simple content checklist so you know exactly what we need from you and when.
What happens after my store launches?
We don’t disappear after launch. We provide a training session so you’re comfortable managing products, orders, and basic content updates. We also offer a post-launch review to catch any early issues. If you need ongoing support, our Shopify Maintenance Membership is designed for exactly that.
How much does a Shopify store setup cost?
Our store setup projects start at $5,000 and vary based on the number of products, integrations needed, and level of theme customization. We’ll scope everything during a free discovery call so there are no surprises.
