01 — Context
Why founders in Australia hire us for shopify developer work.
Hire a Shopify developer to build custom 2.0 themes, headless Hydrogen storefronts, or checkout extensions — with measurable conversion lift.
Australian founders get senior React, Shopify, and SaaS engineering with AEST morning overlap and USD-denominated pricing — roughly half the rate of a Sydney senior contractor (Sydney senior devs average A$800–A$1,200/day). One engineer accountable end-to-end.
02 — Approach
How we work.
Most "custom" Shopify work on the marketplace is a modified free theme. We build from Dawn or ship a headless Hydrogen storefront, customise checkout with extensions, and instrument analytics so you can see what moves AOV.
AEST morning overlap for standups and reviews. Async updates via Slack outside that window. Billed in USD via Stripe or Wise. Direct communication with the engineer building your product — no agency layer.

- Production Shopify theme or Hydrogen storefront

06 — FAQ
Questions about hiring in Australia.
How does timezone work with Australia?
We overlap with AEST/AEDT mornings (your 10am-2pm is our 5:30am-9:30am IST) for standups, code reviews, and synchronous planning. Everything else is async.
Do you work with Australian e-commerce brands on Shopify?
Yes. Most AU Shopify work is multi-currency with Shopify Markets (AUD / USD / NZD). We handle Stripe / Shopify Payments, GST-compliant invoicing on the merchant side, and Afterpay / Zip / Klarna integrations.
Can you work with Australian early-stage startups?
Absolutely. Fractional engineering retainers (10–30 hours/week) are available for funded pre-seed and seed-stage Australian startups — a fraction of the cost of a Sydney-based senior, with direct founder access.
Do you work with clients in India, the USA, and Australia?
Yes. I work with clients globally and have served teams across India, the USA, Australia, the UK, and Singapore. Indian clients are billed in INR; international clients are billed in USD (AUD on request).
How much does a custom SaaS or web app cost?
Custom web apps start at $10,000 for a focused MVP and scale with the feature set you choose on the quote estimator. Each additional feature (auth, payments, admin dashboard, real-time, etc.) adds $100. You get a full fixed quote before any work begins.
