Shopify Development Agency
in Calgary

Calgary independent retailers and makers often split sales between a physical shop and online orders that must reflect real stock and staff capacity.

A boutique on 17th Ave may sell limited size runs, while an Inglewood studio may offer made-to-order variants and counter collection.

We start with those operational facts: who updates inventory, how products are photographed, which parcels ship through Canada Post or Chit Chats, and where customers can pick up in Kensington, downtown or satellite communities.

The goal is a Shopify storefront with clear product detail, honest delivery windows and checkout paths shoppers understand before they pay.

Custom Shopify theme work earns its scope when your buying journey cannot be supported cleanly on a well-chosen existing theme.

Adjusting a suitable theme is often enough when navigation, mobile layouts, collection filters or inconsistent product templates are the main friction.

We walk through both options and the ongoing work each creates, including accessibility checks for keyboard use, form labels, contrast and meaningful image descriptions.

Page speed reviews look at image sizing, theme code and app scripts so each integration has a defined purpose instead of loading on every page by default.

Moving from WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace or BigCommerce requires more than a product CSV.

We inventory variants, collections, customer records and content worth keeping, then agree what imports cleanly and what needs rebuilding.

Before DNS changes, we map legacy URLs to relevant destinations with 301 redirects, preserve useful titles and descriptions where they still match the page, and check internal links, canonicals and sitemap entries.

Rankings can shift during any migration, so we monitor important landing pages and crawl errors after launch instead of treating the redirect spreadsheet as finished work.

Alberta checkout is GST-only with no provincial sales tax, which simplifies many in-province orders but still requires accurate CAD pricing and registration settings your accountant confirms.

Calgary merchants shipping to other provinces need GST, HST, PST or QST rules applied to the destinations and product types you actually sell.

We implement agreed tax settings and test representative carts. Canada Post and Chit Chats rates are reviewed against your parcel sizes and service levels.

Local delivery and pickup can cover Calgary neighbourhoods plus Airdrie, Cochrane and Okotoks when your team defines realistic zones, preparation times, collection instructions and stock locations.

Shops with a counter benefit from Shopify POS planning: shared inventory, location assignments, staff workflows and returns so web orders and in-store sales stay aligned.

Stampede-season traffic and holiday demand spikes need pickup cutoffs, dispatch messaging and stock flags your team can update quickly when hours or staffing change.

Selling to the US is planned through Shopify Markets with currencies, product availability and shipping copy that match your approved cross-border setup, rather than hidden assumptions at checkout.

Duties and import treatment remain decisions you confirm with your advisers.

Where Klaviyo is in scope, sign-up forms, consent records and store events connect to agreed email flows with checks for duplicate tracking.

We train your team on products, collections, discounts, orders and seasonal content updates, with written notes for repeat tasks. Mobile checkout and key collection paths are tested before handover.
