Hire Shopify developers for your store
PromotEdge International is an international strategy, technology, marketing and design 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.
Someone who knows your store works through your list every week.
In short
A Shopify developer who knows your store and works through your list every week. For one new store, a Shopify project is the better buy.

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.

Common challenges
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.
How we work
How hiring a Shopify developer works
- 01
Show us the store
Share the store and your list of jobs, and say how many hours a week you expect to need.
- 02
Meet the developer
You interview the person who will work on your store about your theme and apps, and approve them before they start.
- 03
A paid trial week
The first week is a paid trial on real tasks from your list, then you decide.
- 04
A weekly rhythm
Each week begins with an agreed list and ends with a note of what shipped.
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. We sign an NDA, your client never learns we exist, and we never approach your clients.
Checked before you meet them
Every developer passes four checks before you meet them: a technical test, a code review, a spoken interview in English and a reference check.
What hiring a Shopify developer gets you
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. Hourly work comes in blocks of 40 hours, part-time is 80 hours a month and full-time about 160, all month to month.
If you need one new store or a rebuild, a Shopify project is usually the better buy.
Cost
What a Shopify developer costs
There is no public price list, because the cost follows the job.
What affects the cost
- The hours per month
- The seniority
- Whether you need app development as well as theme work
How we price
You see the rate and the terms in writing before anything starts. Every engagement is covered by an NDA, and the contract assigns the code and every deliverable to you once paid for; we keep no rights in it.
Questions buyers ask us
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.
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.
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.
Your developer is online at least 4 hours a day inside US Eastern time for questions and reviews. India is 9.5 to 13.5 hours ahead of most of the USA and Canada, so a change you approve in the evening can often be live by your morning.
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.
Tell us, and we replace them within 10 business days at no extra cost.
Hourly work is bought in blocks of 40 hours; part-time is 80 hours a month and full-time about 160 hours a month, all month to month with no long lock-in. Every engagement is covered by an NDA, and the contract assigns the code and every deliverable to you once paid for; we keep no rights in it. You interview and approve every person before they start, and the first week is a paid trial on a real task. The people you hire are online at least 4 hours a day inside US Eastern time. If someone is not the right fit, we replace them within 10 business days at no extra cost. Every developer passes four checks: a technical test, a code review, a spoken interview in English and a reference check (for designers, a practical design test and a review of past work take the place of the first two). You get an estimate before work starts, hours go into a shared weekly timesheet that you approve before we bill, and the block you buy is your monthly cap unless you add hours in writing. Staff augmentation ends on 30 days' notice, with a handover.
Avijit Bhattacherjee, who leads our website coding team, front end and back end, oversees our Shopify developers. We are available round the clock, 24x7, as per your location.
