Shopify Development Agency New York

New York has more Shopify agencies than almost any city in the US. Most of them build stores. Fewer understand what it takes to run one at scale where operational waste shows up on the bottom line faster, CAC runs higher than the national average, and store architecture either holds the business or holds it back.

Years in eCommerce

Shero has been building eCommerce stores since the early years of the industry, long before Shopify became the dominant platform. That history covers every major platform shift, API change, and checkout migration since, and it informs every build decision we make for New York brands.

Shopify

Premier Partner

Shero Commerce holds Shopify Premier Partner status one of fewer than 150 agencies globally that have reached this tier. It means direct access to Shopify's priority support and engineering teams. For New York brands on tight launch timelines, that line matters.

$1B+

In Digital Growth

Shero's team has contributed to over a billion dollars in digital commerce growth across DTC brands, B2B manufacturers, and enterprise retailers. That includes work done for New York headquartered brands across fashion, beauty, and specialty retail.

98%

Client Retention

98% of clients stay on a retainer after their project closes. In a market like New York where agencies are easy to find and hard to evaluate, that number is the most honest signal we have about the quality of the work and the relationship.

Working with Shero Commerce for the past three years has been a game changer for our B2B ecommerce business. Their expertise in website support and ecommerce strategy has significantly improved our online presence.

Shopify Development in New York: What It Actually Takes

New York's eCommerce market is unlike anywhere else. Fashion and beauty DTC brands here compete on margin as much as product, which means every dollar of operational waste in your Shopify stack shows up on the bottom line faster than in other markets. The brands that scale here have their store architecture, integrations, and back-end operations running properly, not just a storefront that looks good. Shero is a Shopify Premier Partner based in New York. Our team covers the full stack:

  • Shopify Plus development
  • Custom Shopify theme development
  • Shopify developer for hire
  • ERP and OMS integrations
  • Magento to Shopify migration
  • WooCommerce to Shopify migration
  • Shopify support and maintenance
  • Conversion rate optimisation

Why New York Brands Work With Shero

Shero is a Shopify Premier Partner headquartered in New York. Here is what separates us from the other agencies on your list.

01

We Build for Operations, Not Just Launch Day

Most Shopify agencies optimise for a clean handoff. Shero optimises for what happens after: how your team manages the store, how your systems connect, and whether the build holds under the load that New York's high-CAC, high-velocity market puts on it. That is the difference between a store that looks good at launch and one that runs well at scale.

02

Shopify Plus Expertise That Goes Beyond the Theme

Shero works on Checkout Extensibility, Shopify Functions, custom app development, and multi-store setups. Our Shopify developers in New York have been building on Plus since before most agencies had heard of it. That history means your project does not pay for our learning curve.

03

Integrations Are Half the Work

New York brands at any meaningful scale are connecting Shopify to ERP systems, order management platforms, 3PLs, CRMs, and marketing stacks. Shero has built these integrations across NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and Klaviyo. Our Shopify integrations practice is where we go deepest on the connections that determine whether a store actually runs.

04

Migration Without the Horror Stories

Shero has moved brands from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and custom platforms to Shopify without downtime, without data loss, and without the SEO drop that turns a migration into a six-month recovery. The Shopify migration services page covers what that process looks like in detail.

05

Support That Doesn't Disappear After Launch

98% of Shero's clients stay on retainer after their project closes. For New York brands running product drops, seasonal campaigns, and high-traffic launches, having a development team that carries context between cycles is not optional. Shero's Shopify support services are built around that model.

06

A Real Agency, Not a Freelancer with a Website

Shero is a Shopify Premier Partner headquartered in New York with teams across the US, UK, Finland, and Albania. You get a full team: developers, designers, SEO specialists, and strategists under one retainer. Not a single developer who disappears when something breaks.

How We Work

01

Discovery

We start by understanding your business, not just your store. What systems are you running? Where are the manual workarounds? What has broken before and why? For New York brands with operational complexity, this conversation determines whether the build is right from the start or expensive to fix later.

02

Architecture and Scoping

We map every integration, data flow, and custom requirement before writing a line of code. You get a clear scope with defined deliverables, timelines, and what success looks like. No vague estimates that expand after the project starts.

03

Development

Our Shopify developers build against the spec. Theme development, custom apps, Shopify Functions, integrations, and checkout customization all handled in-house. Nothing is subcontracted. The people who scoped the project are the ones building it.

04

QA and Launch

We test across devices, browsers, and user flows before anything goes live. For migrations, we run parallel environments and validate data at every stage. Launch is planned, monitored, and handed over with documentation your team can actually use.

05

Ongoing Support

Most clients move to a support retainer after launch. That means a dedicated team carrying context from the build, defined response times, proactive monitoring, and access to the same developers who built the store. Not a ticket queue staffed by whoever is available.

Invisible Bead Extensions®

Working with Shero Commerce on our migration from WordPress to Shopify was honestly such a pleasant experience. We’d been on WordPress for five years with tons of content and very specific styling, and moving all of it into one cohesive Shopify site was no small feat — this was a genuinely complex, highly technical migration. But they pulled it off on deadline with zero errors and zero issues. Their team showed up with everything we needed: a project manager, multiple developers, marketing leads, email specialists, and CRO experts, all coordinated through dedicated meetings and a real task management system. They also designed several high impact conversion pages so our digital presence didn’t just function better — it looked beautiful too. Since migrating, we’ve seen an increase in revenue thanks to having one simplified, cohesive platform. I’m so grateful for how seamlessly they executed this, and I’d recommend Shero Commerce to anyone facing a migration like ours.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“
