Shopify Developer in Melbourne
TL;DR
I build Shopify stores for Melbourne fashion, food and lifestyle brands, connecting online and in-store sales through Shopify POS and setting up Afterpay, Klaviyo and reliable tracking. Every store is built for mobile speed and repeat purchases, with sustainability claims presented carefully. Store projects start at about A$9,100.

How I work with Melbourne teams
Melbourne brands often sell through a flagship store, markets, wholesale and their website at once, and the data rarely lines up. I build Shopify stores that unify those channels with POS, wholesale ordering where needed, subscriptions for consumables like coffee or skincare, and loyalty features that reward repeat customers. Growth is part of the build from launch: fast templates, clean analytics and email flows that turn first orders into second ones.

- App integrations — Klaviyo, Recharge, Judge.me, Gorgias, plus ERP and 3PL systems
- Migrations from WooCommerce, Magento and other platforms with full 301 redirect mapping
- Speed and Core Web Vitals optimization
- Shopify Markets for multi-currency, multi-language and international selling
- GA4, server-side tracking, Meta CAPI and Google Enhanced Conversions live at launch
The Melbourne context
- Melbourne fashion and lifestyle brands face ACCC scrutiny on environmental and sustainability claims, so 'eco' messaging on product pages and in ads needs evidence behind it.
- Health, allied health and cosmetic clinics must follow AHPRA advertising guidelines, which restrict testimonials and certain claims, so growth tactics that work in retail need adapting before they can be used.
Tracking and data collection follow Privacy Act 1988 (APPs), Spam Act 2003 & Health Records Act 2001 (Vic). Victorian health service providers handle health information under state rules as well as the federal Privacy Act, so clinic and medtech tracking is set up to keep health data out of ad platforms. Email and SMS lists are built on recorded consent with a working unsubscribe in every message.

FAQ
Shopify Developer in Melbourne: FAQ
Can Shopify handle both our Melbourne store and wholesale customers?
Yes. Shopify POS runs your retail counter, and wholesale price lists and order forms can sit in the same admin, so stock, customers and reporting stay in one system.
Can you set up subscriptions for a Melbourne coffee or food brand?
Yes. I configure subscription apps, delivery intervals and customer portals, then build email and SMS flows that reduce churn and encourage customers to add products to their regular orders.
Can you work with Melbourne brands that sell in-store and online?
Yes. I connect Shopify POS or your retail system with ecommerce and email data so you can see customer value across channels, then use that view to decide where to open, promote or invest next.
Do you work with AHPRA-regulated health businesses?
Yes, with the guidelines built into the process. Ads, landing pages and review requests are planned to avoid prohibited testimonials and misleading claims, and your practitioners or compliance advisers approve anything clinical before it goes live.
