Hire Shopify developers for your team in Canada

Look for someone who understands both the merchant’s editing needs and the technical limits of the platform. Their choices affect how easily your team can maintain the store.

• Editable themesBuild Liquid sections and blocks your team can add, remove and reorder in the theme editor.
• Product informationUse metafields and metaobjects for details such as size charts or ingredient lists, then show them in the theme.
• App choicesWeigh an existing Shopify app against a custom app or theme change, including upkeep and ongoing app fees.
• Custom connectionsBuild apps with the GraphQL Admin and Storefront APIs, handle order and inventory webhooks, and work within API rate limits.
• Store speed and limitsCompress images, keep app scripts lean and check speed reports after adding an app. Understand checkout, markets and currency limits on your plan.

You work with developers already building on our client projects, with a lead who reviews code and keeps work on track. We agree how the developer fits into your working process.

1. 01

   Choose capacity

   Pick full-time, part-time or a fixed number of hours a month. You can scale the plan up or down, or pause it as your needs change.

2. 02

   Agree the routine

   We work in your repository, tickets and stand-ups, with overlap hours agreed before work starts.

3. 03

   Start with a real task

   The first-week plan covers environment setup, a product and codebase walkthrough, and a small task touching the main parts of the system.

4. 04

   Document the setup

   Share your architecture, coding standards, branching and release process, plus local setup instructions. We write down gaps found during onboarding.

5. 05

   Control access

   Use individual accounts with only the permissions needed, starting in staging. Add production access after the review process is in place.

A store collecting customer information needs clear wording when that information may be processed abroad. We set up a notice at the point of collection explaining that processing may happen in a foreign country and that the information may be accessible to that country’s law enforcement and national security authorities.

For personal information communicated outside Québec, the work needs a privacy impact assessment before the transfer and a written contract with the recipient. We arrange the contract and record the assessment before access to that information is provided.

Prepare the work before hiring so your developer has useful tasks to pick up.

• Rank your backlog, or write a first set of tasks with enough detail to start real work.
• Share your working hours, the overlap you need and the person who will answer developer questions.
• Define doneagree review rules, expected tests, and how changes are deployed and approved.
• Make tasks available before the developer starts, so time is not spent waiting or filling gaps with low-value work.
