Hiring a Shopify agency: What you need to know

Hiring guide
01
When should I hire a Shopify agency?

Hire one when the work needs several skills at once: a new store, redesign or replatform that combines strategy, design, development and QA, or a roadmap too big for one freelancer to deliver on your timeline.

02
What skills should I look for in a Shopify agency?

Look for Shopify stores they have shipped for consumer brands, a team covering UX, design, theme and app development and QA, and Shopify Partner experience. Strong agencies scope clearly, name who works on your project and explain tradeoffs.

03
How much does it cost to hire a Shopify agency?

Costs depend on scope and team size. Full custom theme builds typically cost $10,000-$35,000, migrations often $10,000-$50,000 and Shopify Plus builds $25,000-$150,000+. Agencies quote price, timeline and scope upfront, and getting quotes is free.

Specialist skills and tasks

01
Design-to-Launch Builds

Take a new store from sitemap and content model through design, development and QA to launch, with strategists, designers and developers on one team.

02
Brand-led Store Design

Turn your brand guidelines into mobile-first UX and UI designs in Figma, handed straight to the developers on the same team.

03
Custom Theme Development

Build custom themes or extend premium ones with sections, blocks and metafields your team can edit without touching code.

04
Replatforming & Migrations

Run a move from Magento, WooCommerce or BigCommerce as one project, combining data and redirect mapping with a redesign, so order history moves across and redirects help protect search rankings.

05
Apps & Integrations

Connect Shopify to ERPs, 3PLs, subscriptions, reviews and email tools, and build custom apps where App Store apps fall short.

06
Ongoing Support & Optimization

Keep the store fast and stable after launch, with a retainer for fixes, new features, tests and seasonal campaigns.

Common Questions

Still not sure? Book a demo

A freelancer often costs less and suits a defined task or a backlog one person can own. An agency adds a project lead, a wider bench and cover when someone is away, which helps on bigger builds with fixed deadlines. Storetasker’s network includes both, so you can compare quotes.

Storetasker accepts small studios of 2-10 people alongside independent experts. Before you start, ask who will lead your project day to day, who designs and builds it, and how the team covers holidays and peak trading periods.

Scope by template and feature, the theme or architecture they recommend, apps and integrations, content and data migration, QA and launch plans, and post-launch support. A clear breakdown makes quotes from different agencies easy to compare and shows where costs could grow.

A good one should not. A premium theme customized to your brand is faster and costs less, and suits many stores. A custom theme makes sense when your brand, catalog or content needs layouts a theme cannot handle well. Ask each agency to explain its recommendation before you compare quotes.

It depends on the number of templates, integrations and markets, and how quickly feedback comes back. Customizing a theme is quicker than a custom build or a migration. Ask for a phased plan with milestones and a launch date that avoids your peak sales period.

Agree in writing that your brand owns the theme code, custom app code and design files once they are paid for. Ask for code in a repository your brand controls and designs in your own Figma account, so another team can pick up the work later.

Most agencies offer a monthly support retainer for fixes, updates and new features, so the team that built the store keeps it running. On Storetasker, you can start with a single project and set up a retainer later, with payments handled through the platform.
