The challenge

A store that fights your catalogue costs you sales

Slow product pages, a confusing checkout and a theme that does not fit your range lose buyers after you have already paid to bring them in. Shipping rules, stock and payments that need fixing by hand every week cost your team time as well.

01

Buyers drop off between the cart and payment, especially on mobile

02

Shipping, stock or tax handled by hand because the store cannot do it

03

A theme that blocks the way you want to sell, bundle or merchandise

Who it's for

Who our Shopify and WooCommerce builds are for

The service covers store design, the build, integrations, data migration, launch and staff training. It suits some businesses far better than others.

A good fit if

  • You sell physical products online, or plan to, and want a store your staff can run without a developer for every change
  • You are moving an existing store to Shopify or WooCommerce and need products, customers, past orders and old URLs carried across
  • The store has to work with an ERP, a 3PL or fulfilment provider, accounting software or email marketing
  • You already have a WordPress site whose content brings in customers and want to sell from it
  • You want the store built and its Google, Meta and email marketing run by the same team
  • You want the scope, price and timeline fixed before any work starts

Not the right fit if

  • You want an off-the-shelf theme installed with no changes: you can often do that yourself, and paying a developer adds little
  • You sell services or bookings with no product catalogue: our custom web development service is the closer match
  • You want sales figures guaranteed: we fix the scope, price and timeline, not revenue, which depends on your products, prices and traffic
What we deliver

Capabilities built for real business outcomes

Not generic packages. Every engagement is scoped around what actually moves the needle for your brand.

01

Shopify and Shopify Plus stores

Shopify includes hosting and an SSL certificate in every plan, so there is no separate server to buy, patch or back up. We build a custom theme or customise a licensed one, choose and configure the apps you need, and set up payments, shipping and GST. We work on both Shopify and Shopify Plus.

  • Custom or customised Liquid theme
  • App selection and setup
  • Subscriptions and bundles
02

WooCommerce on WordPress

WooCommerce is a free, open-source plugin for WordPress, so the store runs on hosting you choose and you keep full ownership of its content and data. It suits complex catalogues, wholesale or B2B pricing, and businesses whose WordPress content already brings in customers. WordPress, its plugins and the hosting need regular updates, which we can handle on a care plan or hand over to your team.

  • Custom product types
  • B2B and wholesale pricing
  • Content and commerce on one site
03

Migrations and conversion fixes

Shopify can import products, customers and past orders from another platform, and old URLs can be redirected in bulk from a CSV file. We map every old product and category URL to its new address before launch so bookmarks and search results still land on the right page. On an existing store, we start from your analytics and checkout drop-off data and fix the clearest problems first.

  • Product, customer and order import
  • Redirect map for old URLs
  • Product page, cart and checkout fixes
How it works

From brief to launch, with zero guesswork

A structured process with clear milestones, so you always know what's happening and what's next.

01

Scoping call and fixed proposal

We go through your products, shipping rules, payment providers and the systems the store must connect to, then send a proposal with the scope, price, timeline and exclusions. You: explain how orders are handled today, and approve the proposal.

02

Design and catalogue structure

We design the home, collection, product, cart and account pages mobile first, and plan the collections, filters and product templates around your range. You: supply product data using our import templates, photos and brand files, and sign off the designs.

03

Build, integrations and testing

We build the theme and connect payments, shipping, tax, email, analytics and any ERP or 3PL link in the scope, then run test orders from cart to fulfilment. You: place your own test orders and tell us what needs changing before launch.

04

Launch and handover

We put the store live, switch on redirects from any old URLs and train your staff, with written documentation to keep. The 30-day bug-fix guarantee starts on launch day. You: attend the training and tell us about anything that does not work as agreed.

What's included

Everything in the box

  • Store design for mobile and desktop: home, collection, product, cart and account pages
  • A custom Shopify theme, a customised licensed theme or a WooCommerce child theme, as named in the proposal
  • Products, variants and collections set up from your data, using our import templates
  • Payment gateway setup, with test transactions before launch
  • Shipping zones, rates and GST configuration
  • Apps or plugins selected, installed and configured for the features in scope
  • Connections to your ERP, 3PL, accounting or email platform, where the proposal lists them
  • Analytics and ad pixel tracking
  • Redirects from old URLs when the store replaces an existing one
  • Staff training session and written documentation
  • 30-day post-launch bug-fix guarantee
  • Transfer of IP, code and design files on completion and final payment
Why it works

Stores we have built, and one set of measured results

Puzzle Art Australia (puzzleartaustralia.com) is a Shopify store we built and also market. In January 2026 its Meta Ads returned 6.78x their spend, its Google Ads 4.34x and paid media overall 5.87x, and Klaviyo email produced 38.5% of net revenue, according to the ad and email platforms’ own reports for that month. Supacore (supacore.com), a Shopify store for injury and pain relief products, carries our credit in its footer. We publish a client result only when it has a source and a period, so for the other Shopify stores below we describe what we built.

Supacore: technical spec sheets and product videos
Gripcore: customer accounts, payments, search and filters
Audiophile: detailed product specifications and customer reviews
Ongoing partnership

After launch: the 30-day guarantee, then optional care

For 30 days from launch we fix bugs in the work we delivered at no extra cost, meaning anything in the agreed scope that does not work as agreed. New features and content changes are not bugs; we quote them separately. When you message our team you get a reply within 24 hours; that is a reply time, not a promise that every fix is finished within a day. After the 30 days, care is optional: a monthly retainer for security updates, performance monitoring, content changes and technical support.

How we work, who leads your store, and how we quote

Digitalis Global works with businesses across Australia, with team members in Sydney and Newcastle NSW. Our developers and designers work from our development headquarters in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, and scoping and calls run in Australian business hours. We work remotely and have no walk-in office. Scope and price are fixed before work starts, and every build carries a 30-day bug-fix guarantee and a 24-hour response commitment.

E-commerce builds are led by Ameer Hamza, our Website Development Team Lead.

How we quote: we scope the store on a free call, then send a fixed proposal listing the scope, price, timeline and exclusions. The price moves with the size of the catalogue and its variants, a custom design versus a customised theme, the systems the store connects to, how much data moves from an old store, and custom features such as subscriptions or wholesale pricing. There is no price list, because two stores rarely share the same scope.

FAQ

Questions we hear most

Straight answers. If yours isn't here, book a call and we'll walk through it together.

Ask us anything →
Shopify or WooCommerce: which should I choose?

Choose Shopify if you want hosting, security and checkout managed for you, and WooCommerce if you already run WordPress or need unusual catalogue or pricing rules. Shopify includes hosting and an SSL certificate in every plan; WooCommerce is a free, open-source WordPress plugin, so you choose and pay for the hosting and keep full control of the data. We recommend one on the scoping call once we know your range and your systems.

Are you a Shopify Partner?

Yes, Digitalis Global is a Shopify Partner. We build new stores on Shopify and Shopify Plus and move existing stores onto Shopify from other platforms.

Can you move my existing store to Shopify or WooCommerce?

Yes. Products, customers and past orders are imported, and every old product and category URL is redirected to its new address so bookmarks and search results still reach the right page. Shopify supports importing all three and bulk-importing redirects from a CSV file, and we test the redirects before and after launch.

Do I pay Shopify fees on top of the build?

Yes. Our quote covers the build; the Shopify plan, card processing fees and any paid apps are separate running costs paid to Shopify and the app makers. Shopify also charges third-party transaction fees when you use a payment provider other than Shopify Payments, so the payment provider you choose affects what the store costs to run.

Can the store connect to our ERP, 3PL or accounting software?

Usually, yes. We connect Shopify and WooCommerce to ERPs, 3PLs and accounting tools through an existing app or plugin where one fits, and through custom API work where it does not. We confirm the connection for each system during scoping, because it changes the price.

Should we use a ready-made theme or a custom design?

A customised theme suits most stores with standard product pages and costs less to build; a custom design makes sense when your range, brand or buying process does not fit a theme’s layouts. We recommend one on the scoping call, and the proposal states which one you are paying for.

Will my team be able to run the store without you?

Yes, that is what the handover is for. Your staff get a training session and written documentation on the store as built, and the IP, code and design files transfer to you on completion and final payment.

Can you improve the conversion rate of our existing store?

Yes, by fixing what your own data shows first. We review your analytics and checkout drop-off, fix the clearest problems on product pages, the cart and checkout, and then test larger changes. We do not promise a conversion rate, because it depends on your products, prices and traffic as much as on the store.

Do you build wholesale or B2B stores?

Yes. Wholesale and B2B pricing is part of our WooCommerce work, and for Puzzle Art Australia we separated wholesale and retail sales onto their own platforms.

Can you run the store’s marketing after launch?

Yes. Our digital marketing team runs Google Ads, Meta Ads and email campaigns, and Puzzle Art Australia is a store we both built and market, with its January 2026 results on this page.

What do you need from us to start?

A short description of what you sell, your current store or website if you have one, and the systems the store must work with, such as payments, shipping, stock and accounting. Product data and photos can follow once the proposal is approved.
