Choosing
Should you customise a theme or build your own?
An existing theme is a useful starting point when its layouts fit your products and the way you want to present them. Customising it keeps the initial setup lighter and makes later theme updates simpler. A custom theme gives you more room for unusual products and a distinct brand, but later layout changes need development work. Consider who will make those changes before choosing the route.
If you sell across countries, another decision is whether to use markets within one store or run separate stores. Markets support local-currency pricing, translations and international domains from one store. Separate stores suit businesses that need different catalogues or teams in each country, or payouts in different currencies. The choice changes what you manage day to day.
Payment setup affects ongoing costs too. A third-party gateway carries an extra Shopify transaction fee, even if Shopify Payments is also active. If Shopify Payments is unavailable to your business, compare the total cost per order across gateways before deciding which one to connect.
Local
What Melbourne businesses need from their stores
In Melbourne, Victoria’s capital, a retailer with a physical shop might want staff to see online and in-store stock in one system. Shopify’s point-of-sale app can sit alongside the online store for that purpose. The product catalogue also needs collections, shipping, taxes and payments configured for the market the retailer sells in, so both staff and customers can use the store as intended.
Melbourne is also a financial centre in the Asia-Pacific region. A brand based in the city and selling into several countries might need local-currency prices, translated content and market-specific shipping from one admin. That calls for product and market settings that staff can manage alongside their day-to-day work.
Rules
What an Australian Shopify store has to handle
For Australian sales, GST applies to most goods and services. We configure the store’s tax settings for your market as part of setup, using the details you provide for your business and products.
Australian Consumer Law applies to businesses selling goods and services in Australia, and a store policy or warranty cannot override its consumer guarantees. We set up the returns and terms policy pages for your business’s wording. Review any generated policy templates before using them, so the text on the finished store reflects your business.
How it runs
How a Shopify project runs with us
You talk directly to the people designing and building your store. India is 4h30m behind Melbourne, or 5h30m behind during daylight saving time, so we use that difference when arranging conversations and reviewing work remotely.
- 01
Discover
Tell us about your business, customers and goals. We agree the store’s scope with you before moving into design.
- 02
Design
We design pages for desktop and mobile. You review the designs and give feedback before we write theme code.
- 03
Build and preview
We work on an unpublished theme copy while your live store keeps trading. You preview and approve the work before publication.
- 04
Launch
We connect the domain, remove the password, switch payments to live and import redirects. We also place a real test order and refund it.
- 05
Handover
Your team learns how to manage orders, products and discounts, so staff can handle those tasks themselves.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
These materials help us understand the catalogue and the work involved.
- A Shopify account and plan in your business’s own name and billing.
- A product sheet with titles, descriptions, prices, SKUs, barcodes, weights, options and stock by location.
- Consistent product photos for each colour or style, plus specifications and care instructions.
- Size charts and other structured product details that could appear in their own theme sections.
- For a migration, exports of products, customers and orders, plus URLs bringing the most traffic and sales.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline
The scope determines how much design, development and testing the store needs.
Theme route
Adjusting an existing theme is smaller work than designing and building a custom theme for your brand.
Business rules
Custom logic adds development and testing. Custom apps containing Shopify Function APIs also need Shopify Plus.
Integrations and markets
Connections to systems such as accounting or warehouse tools add work, especially with two-way stock and price sync or extra market-specific settings.
Product choices
Shopify supports up to three options per product. A further choice, such as engraving text, needs theme line item properties or an app.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid when building your store
Loose product data
Keep tags, product types and vendors consistent. Automated collections and filters use those fields, so inconsistent entries can hide products or put them in the wrong place.
Too many apps
Check what each app adds and review theme files after uninstalling. Apps can add scripts and subscriptions, and some leave code behind.
Missing redirects
Prepare and import an old-to-new URL map at launch. Redirects only work from URLs that no longer load a page.
Unfinished content
Replace theme demos, placeholder policies and default notification wording before launch.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Melbourne
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to hire a Shopify developer?
There is no fixed price. The work is shaped by the depth of a migration, the features supplied by apps or custom code, and the maintenance those choices need. Moving products alone is lighter than moving order history, reviews, gift cards and redirects as well. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed.
Can I hire you to build my first Shopify store?
Yes. We can build a store for a first-time online seller and train your staff to run orders, products and discounts. Shopify also suits sellers who want their own staff to manage the store without taking on hosting, security or software updates themselves.
Can you change the Shopify checkout?
Some checkout changes are available, but the plan and the change both matter. Shopify runs checkout itself. Standard customisation works from the Basic plan up; apps that change the information, shipping and payment steps are limited to Shopify Plus. Shopify Functions can also change certain back-end rules, including discount and delivery options.
Can you move my existing store to Shopify?
Yes. We move products, customers and orders from WooCommerce, Magento or another platform, with redirects in place. When discussing the move, tell us which records you want carried over and where your current store runs, so the agreed scope reflects the material that needs to be transferred.
Who owns the store after you build it?
You own your domain, content and code. That gives you control over those parts of the store and means you are not locked to the team that built it. Keep your own access to them so your business can manage the store after handover.
What support is available after launch?
Ongoing support follows launch from the same people who designed and built the store. You can also review Shopify reports for conversion rate, cart abandonment, average order value and returning customers, and use Search Console to check organic clicks and product-page indexing. Review unused apps and access periodically too.
