Shopify Developer in Seattle
TL;DR
I build Shopify stores for Seattle outdoor, coffee and wellness brands that also sell on Amazon, with inventory synced across channels, subscriptions for repeat products and consent flows designed around Washington's health data law. Server-side tracking is standard. Seattle Shopify builds start at $6,000.

How I work with Seattle teams
Seattle consumer brands often need their Shopify store to earn its place next to Amazon. I build stores with richer product storytelling, plus bundles and subscriptions Amazon doesn't offer, and test Buy with Prime where it may help conversion. For wellness and supplement brands, I set up tracking and forms that avoid collecting health data without consent, which matters under Washington's My Health My Data Act.
What’s included
- Custom Online Store 2.0 themes in Liquid, with sections and blocks your team can edit
- Headless storefronts on Hydrogen and Oxygen when the brand genuinely needs them
- Shopify Plus — Checkout Extensibility, checkout UI extensions and Shopify Functions
- 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 Seattle context
- Washington's My Health My Data Act defines consumer health data very broadly and allows private lawsuits, so fitness, wellness, beauty and supplement brands may need separate consent before collecting or sharing health-related signals, including through ad pixels.
- Washington's Commercial Electronic Mail Act prohibits false or misleading subject lines in commercial email, which puts urgency-driven promotional copy under real legal risk.
Tracking and data collection follow Washington My Health My Data Act, Commercial Electronic Mail Act & CAN-SPAM. MHMDA requires consent before collecting or sharing consumer health data plus a separate health data privacy policy, and it can reach non-health brands that infer health information. Pixels on wellness-related pages are audited and moved server-side or removed, and email subject lines are reviewed so promotions stay accurate.

FAQ
Shopify Developer in Seattle: FAQ
Should we add Buy with Prime to our Shopify store?
It can raise conversion among shoppers who trust Prime delivery, but it carries fees and shares some data with Amazon. I test it on a subset of products first and compare results before rolling it out.
Can you set up coffee or consumables subscriptions?
Yes. I configure subscriptions with flexible frequencies, easy skipping and cancellation, and reminder emails, then track retention by cohort to see which offers keep customers longest.
Do you work with brands that sell mainly on Amazon?
Yes. I look at Amazon and DTC together: advertising efficiency, margin after fees and how much customer data you own. The aim is profitable growth on Amazon while building a direct channel that doesn't depend on a single marketplace.
Does Washington's My Health My Data Act affect my brand?
It can if you sell fitness, wellness, beauty or supplement products, because the law's definition of health data is broad. I audit where pixels and forms might capture health-related data and recommend changes; your legal counsel makes the final call.
