Shopify Developer in Austin
TL;DR
I build Shopify stores for Austin food, beverage, outdoor and lifestyle brands, from subscription snacks and coffee to gear, with Amazon and retail channels tracked alongside DTC. Stores launch with TDPSA-ready consent, server-side tracking and Klaviyo flows. Austin Shopify builds start at $6,000.

How I work with Austin teams
Austin consumer brands often start with a farmers-market or local-retail following and then need a store that can scale nationally. I build subscription-friendly Shopify stores, wholesale portals for retailers and bundles that lift average order value. For better-for-you food and beverage brands, product pages carry nutrition and ingredient details in a structured format, which helps both shoppers and AI assistants recommend the right product.

The Austin context
- The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act has no revenue threshold and relies on the federal small-business definition instead, and even small businesses need consent before selling sensitive data.
- Companies relocating from California or New York bring an existing brand but often have to rebuild local credibility and Texas-specific search visibility from scratch.
Tracking and data collection follow Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) & CAN-SPAM. TDPSA gives Texans rights to access and delete their data and to opt out of targeted advertising and data sales, and businesses are expected to recognize universal opt-out signals. Tracking setups include a clear opt-out link, honor Global Privacy Control and treat sensitive categories, such as health or precise location, as opt-in only.

FAQ
Shopify Developer in Austin: FAQ
Can you set up subscriptions for our food or beverage brand?
Yes. I use Shopify-compatible subscription apps to offer flexible delivery schedules, skip and swap options and easy cancellation, all tracked so we can measure retention by cohort.
Can Shopify and Amazon work together for our brand?
Yes. I connect inventory and product data between Shopify and Amazon and set up reporting that shows how DTC, Amazon and retail sales interact, so ad spend isn't credited twice.
Do you work with Austin startups at seed and Series A?
Yes. Early-stage Austin companies often have a founder or one generalist running marketing. I add senior strategy and hands-on execution, focusing on measurement and one or two channels that can scale before the next raise.
Does the Texas privacy law apply to my company?
Possibly, even if you're small, because TDPSA doesn't use a revenue threshold. I review your tracking, forms and data flows during the audit and flag what needs attention; your attorney confirms your specific obligations.
