Skills
What a good Shopify developer brings
A developer should understand the edges of the platform as well as the code. That includes what your plan allows at checkout, how markets and currencies work, and where an app is needed.
- Editable themesBuild Liquid sections and blocks that you can add, remove and reorder in the theme editor without changing code.
- App decisionsWeigh an App Store app against a theme change or custom app, taking account of upkeep and ongoing app fees.
- Store connectionsBuild custom apps with the GraphQL Admin and Storefront APIs, handle order and inventory webhooks, and work within rate limits.
- Checkout logicUse Shopify Functions for discounts, payment and delivery options, and checkout validation.
- Speed checksKeep themes lean, compress images, limit app scripts and use lazy loading; check speed reports after each new app.
Use cases
What you can hire Shopify developers for
You can hire developers to move products, customers and orders from WooCommerce, Magento or another platform, with redirects for the existing pages. They can connect your store to inventory, shipping, accounting, marketplace or ERP systems through apps, webhooks and the Admin API.
Other work includes wholesale features, subscriptions, bundles and product configurators using apps, metafields and Functions. A headless storefront gives you control of the front end while Shopify handles products, cart and checkout.
Shopify fits when you want the platform to handle hosting, security, checkout and payments. Check plan and app fees alongside checkout and data-structure limits if your pricing or workflow is unusual. For deep custom logic or control of hosting, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce or a custom build are alternatives, with more maintenance.
How hiring works
How hiring works with us
The developers we provide already work on our client projects. A lead reviews code and keeps the work on track, so you have management as part of the engagement.
- 01
Priorities
We work from a shared backlog that you control and review with us regularly, so the next piece of work is clear.
- 02
Setup
Developers work in your repository, tickets and stand-ups. We agree the overlap hours before work starts.
- 03
Onboarding
Start with environment setup, a product and codebase walkthrough, and a small real task that touches the main parts of the system.
- 04
Access
Give each developer an individual account with only the permissions needed, starting in staging and adding production access after the review process is in place.
- 05
Working notes
Share your architecture, coding standards, branching and release process, plus local setup instructions; record gaps found during onboarding.
- 06
Progress
We provide regular updates and demos, with direct access to the people doing the work.
Time zones
Working hours between Austria and India
India is 4h30m ahead of Austria, or 3h30m during Central European Summer Time, from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. Agree a fixed overlap window for stand-ups and quick questions, and keep it free of other meetings on both sides.
We use Slack, WhatsApp or email alongside regular calls, and you work directly with the developers. Give tickets acceptance criteria, screenshots and links to reduce back-and-forth. Handover notes should record unfinished work, open questions and decisions, so each side can continue when the other is offline.
Rules
What an Austria Shopify project has to handle
For an Austrian store using tracking that is not strictly necessary, prior consent is needed before those cookies or similar technologies are set or read. We set up a consent banner and configure the relevant tracking to wait for consent.
Access to personal data from India needs attention in the project setup: India is not on the European Commission’s adequacy list, so an appropriate transfer safeguard or a specific exception is needed. We set up the work around documented instructions, confidentiality, security measures and returning or deleting data when the service ends.
Vetting
How to judge a Shopify developer before you commit
- Inspect live stores they worked on. Check speed on a phone, how product pages behave and whether a merchant can still use the theme editor easily.
- Describe a feature and ask how they would add it without installing another app. Listen for options such as metafields, theme sections, Functions or a small custom app.
- Set a paid taskask for a theme section with merchant settings and blocks, built in a development store and delivered through Git.
- Ask which jobs they would advise against doing on Shopify. Their answer should explain the platform limits behind that advice.
Checklist
What to have ready before developers start
A little preparation gives the developer real work to start with.
- Rank your backlog or write a first set of tasks with enough detail to act on.
- Identify the skills and seniority you need, including any legacy system experience.
- Set out your working hours, needed overlap and who will answer questions.
- Define doneinclude review rules, expected tests and how work is deployed and approved.
Cost & time
What affects the cost of hiring Shopify developers
The plan and the level of oversight shape the work involved.
Seniority
Experienced developers cost more and need less supervision; junior developers suit well-defined tasks with close review.
Overlap
The amount of your working day a developer needs to cover affects availability and how the plan is set up.
Management
Consider whether a lead will plan work and review code, or your own team will manage the developer directly.
Capacity
Scaling the plan up or down as your needs change alters the amount of development support you use.

Questions
Asked by businesses in Austria
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to hire a dedicated Shopify developer?
There is no fixed price. The scope of ongoing features and fixes, specialist skills, and the condition of your existing codebase drive the cost. Missing documentation or a niche framework also affects onboarding work. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed.
Should I hire a developer full time or part time?
Choose according to the backlog. Full time suits a full, ongoing backlog on one product; part-time or hour-based work suits maintenance, a side project or work that arrives in bursts. We offer full-time, part-time and fixed-hours-per-month arrangements, so you can choose the pattern that fits your work.
How do I hire a remote developer to work with my existing team?
Start by agreeing how the developer will fit into your existing review process. We work in your repositories and tools alongside your developers. Keep code reviews in place early, and judge progress through merged pull requests, demos and shipped features instead of the number of meetings held.
What technical work is included in Shopify development?
The work can cover themes, apps and checkout changes. Theme developers use tools such as Shopify CLI, Theme Check and development stores; app work commonly uses CLI templates, Polaris and app extensions. Checkout changes use UI extensions and Functions, with limits on the older checkout.liquid approach.
Who owns the code and store assets?
You own your domain, content and code, with no lock-in. We provide an NDA and hand code ownership to you. Keep repositories, cloud accounts and third-party services under your organisation, and confirm the assignment of intellectual property in the contract before work begins.
Can development support continue after launch?
Yes. You can scale the plan up or down, or pause it as your needs change. Support includes code reviews, tests and documentation to keep the work maintainable. Give people individual accounts instead of sharing an admin login, so access can be audited and removed when needed.
