Quick answer

What does a Shopify development agency do?

A Shopify development agency plans, designs and builds Shopify stores: custom themes, migrations from other platforms, apps and integrations, performance and conversion work, and ongoing maintenance, so the store sells reliably without the owner managing code.

Zrafted is a Shopify Partner based in Toronto. We work with brands that outgrew a template, are leaving WooCommerce or Magento, or need integrations with inventory, ERP, CRM or marketing tools.

Best for
Growing ecommerce brands, B2B sellers and teams replacing an older platform.
Typical projects
Custom theme, migration, Shopify Plus build, app or integration, store audit.
Includes
Scoping, design, build, QA, launch, redirects and post-launch support.
Not ideal when
You only need a template installed with no customization.

Launch and support

A planned cut-over, monitoring after go-live and a support window for fixes.

The difference

Template store vs a Zrafted build.

Typical template setup

  • Generic layout every competitor resembles
  • Many apps slowing every page
  • Migration without redirect planning
  • No one owns fixes after launch

With Zrafted

  • Layout built around your products and buyers
  • Lean code with controlled apps
  • Redirects and SEO checks before cut-over
  • Support plan after launch

Customer and order data is handled only as needed for the project and in line with our Privacy Policy.

We build to accessible patterns and set up cookie, tax and policy pages. Legal requirements remain your responsibility; confirm them with qualified counsel.

FAQ

Shopify development questions, answered.

How much does a Shopify development project cost?

Cost depends on catalogue size, design complexity, integrations and whether you are migrating. We confirm a fixed scope and price after a short discovery conversation rather than quoting from a menu.

How long does a Shopify build or migration take?

A focused build can take a few weeks, while a larger migration with integrations takes longer. We give a timeline during scoping, based on your catalogue and requirements.

Will I lose my search rankings when I migrate to Shopify?

Rankings can dip if URLs change without redirects. We map 301 redirects for important pages, carry over titles and descriptions, and monitor Search Console after launch to reduce that risk.

Can you migrate from WooCommerce, Magento or BigCommerce?

Yes. We migrate products, customers, orders and content from these and other platforms, test-import first and check the data before cut-over.

Do you build custom Shopify themes?

Yes. We build custom Liquid themes on Online Store 2.0 with sections your team can edit, rather than modifying a stock template.

Do you offer Shopify website maintenance?

Yes. Monthly support covers fixes, edits, updates and monitoring so small changes do not wait in a queue.

Do you work with clients outside Canada?

Yes. We are based in Toronto and work with ecommerce brands in Canada, the United States and other regions.
