Develoci is a Shopify Partner and works across every layer of a Shopify operation, from catalog to checkout, from front-end to the physical store's back office.
- Implementation and migration: a new Shopify store or migration from another platform, with replatforming of catalog, order history, and critical integrations without commercial downtime.
- Liquid themes: development and maintenance of custom themes, front-end performance, and Core Web Vitals.
- Shopify Plus: checkout extensibility and Shopify Functions for pricing, shipping, payment, and promotion rules that the standard checkout doesn't cover.
- Headless with Hydrogen: decoupled React storefronts for brands with specific front-end or multi-channel needs.
- Shopify POS: implementation of physical point-of-sale integrated with e-commerce, with unified inventory and sales.
- Custom apps: installation of ecosystem apps and development of proprietary apps when an off-the-shelf app doesn't solve the business rule.
- Integrations and multi-market: ERP, TMS, payment methods, and operations across multiple countries on a shared codebase.
Why choose Develoci for your Shopify project
Develoci has worked in e-commerce engineering since 2016, headquartered in Canoas/RS, with operations in Brazil, the United States, and Europe, across 4 countries. The team includes more than 25 specialists and over 50 projects delivered on platforms like Shopify, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and VTEX IO.
The model is built on dedicated squads: you get engineers, QAs, and DevOps specialists in Shopify without the cost and delay of building that team internally. Delivery covers both fixed-scope projects (migration, new theme, Shopify Plus) and ongoing support, with performance and quality monitored after go-live.
Shopify case studies
Footwear, USA: Shopify POS unifying physical and online stores
Implementation of Shopify POS across a chain of physical stores, unifying online and in-store sales. Result: an omnichannel operation with unified inventory and sales, rolled out across stores without interrupting sales.
Automotive, USA and Mexico: two operations, one codebase
Shopify deployed across two markets for a tire retailer, with catalog, payment, and logistics adapted to each country. Result: two operations live on a shared codebase, enabling international expansion without duplicating platform costs.

We assess theme, installed apps, performance, integrations, and architecture to map out concrete risks and opportunities.
Proposal with a defined squad
We present scope, timeline, and the squad of engineers, QA, and DevOps dedicated to your project, without you having to hire internally.
Delivery
Development runs in short validation cycles with testing and controlled deployment, keeping the store live throughout the entire process.
Ongoing support
Performance monitoring, fixes, and continuous evolution of the store after go-live, with the same squad that delivered the project.
Frequently asked questions about Shopify development
What's the difference between Shopify and Shopify Plus for a growing operation?
Shopify Plus unlocks checkout extensibility and Shopify Functions, which let you customize pricing, shipping, and payment rules right at checkout. It also brings features built for larger operations, like expansion stores for other markets and B2B functionality.
Is it possible to migrate to Shopify without taking the store offline?
Yes. Migration is planned in stages, with a staging environment and validation of catalog, orders, and integrations before the production cutover, so your current store keeps selling throughout the process.
Does Develoci build Shopify themes from scratch, or only customize existing ones?
We handle both: custom Liquid theme development from scratch based on your own layout, or evolving and customizing an existing theme, including performance tuning and Core Web Vitals improvements.
Do you build custom apps for Shopify?
Yes. When an off-the-shelf app from the app store doesn't cover a specific business rule, we build custom apps integrated with the platform, in addition to installing and configuring existing ecosystem apps.
How does Shopify POS work for businesses with both physical and online stores?
Shopify POS connects your physical point of sale to the same catalog and inventory as your online store, enabling an omnichannel operation: inventory updates in real time across both channels, and customer purchase history stays unified.
Do I need to hire an internal team to maintain the store after delivery?
Not necessarily. Develoci's dedicated squad model covers both the initial project and ongoing support (fixes, performance, evolution), without requiring you to build that team internally.
Do you support Shopify operations in more than one country?
Yes. We've already structured Shopify operations across multiple markets, with catalog, payment, and logistics adapted to each country, while keeping a shared codebase to reduce the cost of maintaining separate platforms.
