What do you get when you hire Shopify developers from Web On Dev?

You get specialised engineers, not generalist contractors who picked up Shopify last quarter. Every developer we place is screened for real store-building work: Liquid templating, theme architecture, app logic, and performance.

• Dedicated, vetted developers matched to your stack, time zone overlap, and roadmap.
• A clear, itemised quote before you commit, with no long sales cycle.
• Direct communication with the developer plus a delivery lead who owns timelines.
• Code you own in your repo, documented and handed over cleanly.
• Flexibility to scale the team up or down as your roadmap shifts.
• Coverage of the full Shopify surface from quick theme fixes to Shopify Plus and headless storefronts.

Web On Dev is a software agency founded in 2015 in Lahore, Pakistan, with a team of 11 to 50. We work with founders, brands, and agencies who need senior Shopify capacity without the cost and lead time of in-house hiring.

Which engagement model is right for you?

Different projects need different commercial shapes. Below are the four models we offer with typical market rate ranges so you can budget before the first call. Offshore teams (including ours, based in Pakistan) generally sit at the lower end; US and Western Europe-based talent sit at the top.

What drives the cost?

• Location of the talent. This is the single biggest lever. Offshore Shopify developers in South Asia typically run $20-$45/hr; Eastern Europe and Latin America $30-$50/hr; US-based senior developers $90-$200/hr, with enterprise agencies higher still.
• Seniority. Junior theme tweaks cost far less than a senior building Shopify Functions or a headless storefront.
• Surface complexity. Standard Online Store 2.0 work is cheaper than Shopify Plus, checkout extensibility, or B2B engineering.
• Engagement length. Dedicated monthly retainers usually carry a lower effective hourly rate than one-off hourly work.

Rates above are typical market ranges drawn from public 2026 pricing guides, not a fixed Web On Dev price list. You receive a specific quote after a short scoping call.

What Shopify skills do our developers cover?

We staff against the actual Shopify technology stack, not a vague "e-commerce" label.

• Liquid & theme development — custom themes, Online Store 2.0 sections, metafields, and templating.
• Custom apps — private and public apps using the Shopify Admin and Storefront APIs, plus app extensions.
• Shopify Plus — scripts, Flow automations, Launchpad, wholesale/B2B, and multi-store Markets setups.
• Checkout extensibility — checkout UI extensions and Shopify Functions, which "enable you to customize Shopify's backend logic by running custom code during the checkout process" (shopify.dev).
• Headless & Hydrogen + Next.js — decoupled storefronts on Hydrogen/Oxygen or a custom Next.js front end against the Storefront API.
• Migrations — from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, or legacy custom carts onto Shopify with data and SEO preserved.
• App & service integrations — ERP, CRM, ESP, PIM, payment, and shipping integrations wired into your store.

How do you vet and onboard developers?

We screen for Shopify-specific competence, then onboard fast.

1. Scope. A short call to understand your store, stack, gap, and timeline.
2. Match. We propose developers whose Shopify experience fits your work. You review and approve the fit before anyone starts.
3. Onboard. Your developer joins your repo, tools, and rituals (standups, sprint board, Slack) and ships within the first sprint.
4. Manage & scale. A delivery lead tracks output and quality; you flex the team as the roadmap changes.

We are happy to run a paid trial sprint so you can assess code quality, communication, and delivery before committing to a longer engagement.

How fast can you start?

For most requests we can present matched, pre-screened developer profiles within a few business days. A dedicated developer or staff-augmentation engagement typically starts within the first week after you approve the match. Fixed-scope projects begin once scope and milestones are agreed.

Should you hire an agency, a freelancer, or hire in-house?

Each route trades cost, risk, and control differently. Here is an honest comparison.

If Shopify is a permanent core function and you can wait months to recruit, in-house can make sense. If you need senior capacity now, with cover and the ability to scale, a vetted agency team is usually the lower-risk path.
