- Shopify & Shopify Plus Development Agency
We Build Shopify Stores That Scale
WebBirds is a US-based Shopify development agency building custom Shopify and Shopify Plus storefronts for brands that take commerce seriously. Not websites commerce infrastructure. The kind that holds during a flash sale, doesn't require a developer ticket to change a banner, and keeps working when you add a market, a currency, or a warehouse.
Ten years in. Headless storefronts on Hydrogen, metaobject content architectures, ERP and 3PL integrations, custom checkout extensions built with Shopify Functions. Every build is engineered for the brand it serves never templated from the last project we shipped.

126%
Sales Growth Year Over Year
Shopify runs the commerce layer; how well it performs depends entirely on how it's built. We engineer for the constraints that break stores at scale catalogs past 20,000 SKUs, wholesale and DTC running from one storefront, real-time inventory syncing to an ERP, and checkout logic no App Store app supports. Whether you're launching or replatforming, the architecture is built for where you're going, not where you are.
10 Years of Untangling Shopify Complexity
Shopify
The commerce foundation: catalog, checkout, and payments. We build custom Liquid themes and headless Hydrogen storefronts on top of it, engineered for speed and merchandiser control.
Klaviyo
Email and SMS revenue. We wire Klaviyo into your catalog and order data so segmentation, abandoned-cart flows, and post-purchase sequences run on real behavior not guesses.
Okendo
Reviews and UGC that actually convert. We implement structured review capture, star-rating schema for search results, and on-site social proof placed where it moves the decision.
Global-e
Cross-border selling done properly. Duties, currencies, and localized checkout configured alongside Shopify Markets so international customers see prices they'll actually pay.

Shopify Development Questions, Answered
Straight answers on cost, timelines, migrations, and Shopify Plus from the team that builds them. No sales language, no hedging.
01 What Shopify services does WebBirds offer?
End-to-end Shopify development: custom store design and build, Shopify Plus, theme customization, headless Hydrogen storefronts, app development, platform migration, third-party integrations, speed optimization, and ongoing post-launch support.
02 How long does it take to build a Shopify store?
A basic Shopify store takes 4–6 weeks. Custom builds run 8–12 weeks. Shopify Plus projects with migrations and integrations typically take 12–16 weeks. You get a firm timeline in discovery, before design starts.
03 How much does it cost to build a Shopify store?
Absolutely! We handle seamless migrations from platforms like WooCommerce, Magento, or BigCommerce to Shopify, ensuring no data loss and minimal downtime during the transition.
04 Can you migrate my store to Shopify from another platform?
Yes, WooCommerce, Magento, Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce, and legacy Shopify. Products, variants, customers, order history, subscriptions, and content move intact, with a complete 301 redirect map live at launch.
05 Will I lose SEO traffic when I migrate?
Not with proper planning. Losses come from missing redirects, rewritten metadata on ranking pages, and slower performance after launch. We baseline every indexed URL first, map each to a destination, and monitor Search Console for 90 days.
06 What's the difference between Shopify and Shopify Plus?
Shopify Plus is the enterprise tier. It adds checkout customization, Shopify Functions for custom backend logic, native B2B and wholesale, higher API limits, staging environments, and expansion stores. Most brands should wait until they hit a real constraint.
07 Do I need headless Shopify?
Usually not. Headless costs more to build and maintain and moves merchandising work into a developer queue. It earns its cost for editorial-grade content, very large catalogs, or one front end serving multiple back ends. A well-built Liquid theme beats a poor headless build.
08Can you build custom Shopify apps?
Yes, public App Store apps and private apps for internal use. We build with app extensions and Shopify Functions so your custom logic survives platform updates instead of breaking with them.
09 Do you offer support after launch?
Yes. Every launch includes 30 days of monitored hypercare. Beyond that, retainers cover maintenance, performance work, feature development, and platform updates.
10 Will my store be mobile-friendly and accessible?
Yes. We design mobile-first because most sessions are mobile, and build to WCAG 2.2 AA tested during development, not audited afterward.
