Hire Shopify developers for your store
PromotEdge International is an international web, digital marketing and AI company. Brands and agencies in the USA, Canada and other markets can hire Shopify developers from us, by the month, for steady store work. Our delivery team is in India, and every change ships under your store's name or your agency's.
In short
Hiring a Shopify developer gives you someone who knows your store and works through your list every week, whether that list holds theme changes, new sections, app set-ups or speed fixes. It suits a brand that changes its store often, or an agency with several Shopify clients. [CONFIRM: U13 the Shopify skills we can staff, and the smallest engagement]
If you need one new store or a rebuild, a Shopify project is usually the better buy.
Shopify work you can hand to a hired developer
Most stores need a mix of these from week to week.
Theme changes and sections
New sections, layout changes and fixes in Liquid, built so your team can rearrange them.
Landing pages for campaigns
Pages for launches, sales and ads, ready when your marketing calendar needs them.
App set-up and clean-up
Adding apps that earn their place, and removing the leftover code of ones you dropped.
Speed work
Lighter images and scripts, and fewer apps loading on every page.
Integrations
Links to your inventory, ERP, reviews and email tools, through apps or custom code.
Help for agencies
A developer who works across your clients' stores, under your brand.
Who does the work, and from where
The work is delivered by our team in India. We travel to our clients every 3 to 4 months.
How your store stays safe while someone else works on it

A staff account with the right role
Shopify lets you give each user a role with only the permissions they need. Our developer works under that account, which you can remove.
Changes on a copy of the theme
Work happens on an unpublished copy of your theme, and you approve it before it goes live.
Version control
Theme code is kept in your Git repository, so any change can be traced and reversed.
No surprise apps
No app is installed, and no paid plan started, without your yes.
Your client stays yours
For agencies, the developer works under your name. [CONFIRM: white-label contract terms: an NDA, that your client never learns we exist, and a non-solicit clause]

Why Shopify work goes wrong, and what we do about it
These are typical situations, not results from a named client.
Every Shopify expert seems to do something different
Some build themes, some build apps, and some mostly install apps. We say up front which kind of work our developer does well, and which we would hand to someone else.
A quick edit broke the live store
Editing the published theme by hand is how this happens. Changes go to a theme copy and your Git repository first.
The store slowed down over time
Each app adds weight, and removed apps often leave code behind. An app and script audit is often the first job.
The checkout cannot do what was promised
Shopify controls the checkout, and what you may change depends on your plan. Your developer tells you what is possible before anyone promises it to a customer.
Agency clients pile up at once
A hired developer gives you steady capacity across stores, and you set the order of the work each week.
Questions buyers ask us
What should I check before hiring a Shopify developer?
Ask to see theme work they built, and whether it was Liquid code or a page builder. Ask how they test changes before they go live, and where the code is kept. Then give them a small real task and see how they ask questions.
Do all Shopify experts do the same thing?
No. Theme developers, app developers and store set-up specialists are different skills. Match the person to your list: if most of it is theme and section work, you need a theme developer.
Should I hire a developer or buy a Shopify project?
Hire a developer for a steady stream of changes. Buy a project when you need one large job done, such as a new store or a move from another platform, with a fixed scope and date.
Can a hired developer work on Shopify Plus stores?
[CONFIRM: U13 Shopify Plus work we can staff, such as checkout extensions and B2B]
What hours will the developer work?
We agree overlap hours with your working day for questions and reviews. India is about 10 to 13 hours ahead of the USA and Canada, so a change you approve in the evening can be live by your morning.
Can one developer work across several of our stores?
Yes. Agencies and brands with more than one store often share a developer between them. You set the order of the work each week, and each store keeps its own access, so nothing crosses between clients.
How much does it cost to hire a Shopify developer?
We do not publish a price list. The cost depends on the hours per month, the seniority and whether you need app development as well as theme work. You see it in writing before anything starts. [CONFIRM: U13 the smallest engagement]
Who looks after the developer?
Benjamin Sardar, our Web Lead, and Avijit Bhattacherjee, who leads the website coding team on front end and back end, oversee our Shopify developers. We are available round the clock, 24x7, as per your location.
