Shopify Developer in Sydney
TL;DR
I build Shopify stores for Sydney DTC brands that are fast, conversion-focused and measured properly, with Afterpay and other instalment options, GST-inclusive AUD pricing and server-side tracking. Stores launch ready for paid traffic and trans-Tasman selling via Shopify Markets. Projects start at about A$9,100.

How I work with Sydney teams
Sydney shoppers are comfortable buying online but quick to abandon a slow site or a confusing checkout, and buy-now-pay-later is an expected option in fashion, beauty and homewares. I build lean themes that load fast on mobile, set up Shopify Payments, Afterpay and Shop Pay, configure shipping rules for metro and regional delivery, and wire in Klaviyo and GA4 so every campaign is judged on orders and margin.
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 Sydney context
- Financial services brands must meet ASIC requirements, including design and distribution obligations, so targeting, landing pages and ad copy need to reflect who a product is actually designed for.
- The ACCC actively enforces the Australian Consumer Law on misleading claims, fake reviews and hidden fees, which affects pricing pages, review programmes and promotional copy.
Tracking and data collection follow Privacy Act 1988 (Australian Privacy Principles) & Spam Act 2003. Businesses above the small-business threshold, plus smaller ones in areas such as health, must follow the Australian Privacy Principles, and ongoing reforms are tightening obligations. Commercial email and SMS need consent, sender identification and a working unsubscribe, so CRM and tracking setups record consent at the point of collection.

FAQ
Shopify Developer in Sydney: FAQ
Can you add Afterpay to our Shopify store?
Yes. I enable Afterpay at checkout and add instalment messaging on product and cart pages, then track whether it lifts conversion and order value so you can decide how prominently to promote it.
Can one Shopify store sell to Australia and New Zealand?
Yes. Shopify Markets handles AUD and NZD pricing, local domains or subfolders, and tax settings for each country, so you can run both markets from one store while keeping reporting separate.
How do you plan for EOFY, Black Friday and Boxing Day sales?
Offers, budgets, creative and stock are planned back from each date, so the June EOFY push and the Black Friday to Boxing Day run are prepared months ahead rather than rushed. After each peak, results are reviewed by channel and margin, so the next promotion starts from what actually drove profitable sales.
Can you invoice an Australian Pty Ltd company?
Yes. I invoice in AUD or USD. For cross-border B2B services to a GST-registered Australian business, GST is generally not charged on my invoice, but your accountant should confirm how it is treated on your side.
