White-label Shopify development
SoftVolt AI offers white-label Shopify development for agencies whose clients sell on Shopify. We customise themes, build Liquid sections, connect apps and run migrations, working as staff on the client's store or through your Partner account. Your client sees your agency and nobody else.

Shopify, run the way agencies need it run.
Websites, stores and apps your clients will put their name on.
Send the brief and a named producer turns it into a written scope: 6 deliverables, each priced, with the assumptions and the tools listed — Shopify, Liquid, Shopify Functions, Metaobjects, JavaScript. Nothing is built until you have agreed that document, and the price on it is the price you pay.
It is the brief we see most often from branding & design agencies, web design agencies, digital marketing agencies. Everything ships under your agency's name — the staging link, the commits, the checklist and the handover — and your client never learns we were involved.

Shopify: what you get.
Every item here appears in the scope document with a price against it. Nothing starts until you approve it.
- 01Theme customisation or custom sections in Liquid and JSON templates
- 02Metafields and metaobjects for structured product content
- 03App integrations: reviews, subscriptions, loyalty, shipping
- 04Checkout extensibility and Shopify Functions where the plan allows
- 05Migrations from WooCommerce, Magento or legacy platforms with redirects
- 06Speed and conversion pass before handover
Our white-label Shopify development service covers the work a store’s theme editor cannot do. We build in a duplicate theme, so the live store keeps trading while you review changes on a preview link. At the end, we hand over a store the client’s team can run.
What white-label Shopify development covers
Most briefs fall into theme work, structured product content, apps, checkout or migrations. Here is what each involves in practice.
- Theme work. Custom sections and blocks in Liquid and JSON templates, so merchandisers can rearrange pages in the theme editor without breaking the design.
- Structured product content. Metafields and metaobjects for specifications, size guides or ingredients, edited once and shown wherever the theme needs them.
- Apps. Reviews, subscriptions, loyalty and shipping apps installed and styled to match, with a check that each one does not slow the store.
- Checkout. Checkout extensibility and Shopify Functions for discounts or delivery rules, where the client’s Shopify plan allows them.
- Migrations. Products, collections and content moved from WooCommerce, Magento or a legacy platform, with a redirect map for every old URL.
Shopify is one part of our white-label web development service, so the same team can handle the client’s other sites too.
How we work inside your Shopify setup
We join as staff on the client’s store, or work through your agency’s Shopify Partner account, with only the permissions the job needs. Credentials stay in a shared vault, as set out on our security page.
All changes go into a theme copy first. You review on a preview link, and we publish only when you approve.
A named producer runs the project in your shared Slack Connect or WhatsApp channel. Before handover, the store gets a speed and conversion pass and our published QA checklist, then we remove our access and confirm it in writing.
Shopify or WooCommerce
Shopify suits clients who want hosting, security and checkout handled by the platform for a predictable monthly fee. WooCommerce suits clients who need custom pricing, checkout logic or full control of their data and hosting.
We build on both, so the scope recommends the platform that fits the client’s catalogue and team. For a WooCommerce example, see Heat Pumps 4 Pools, a full store build followed by ongoing maintenance.
Pricing
Shopify work is scoped at a fixed price within two business days of the brief, from a single custom section to a full migration. The number of templates, the apps involved and the size of the catalogue move the price most.
Shopify subscriptions and app fees stay in the client’s account, and we never mark them up. For ongoing work, compare the monthly plans on our rates page.
Shopify: when to send it.
- A client's theme needs changes the editor cannot make
- A migration to Shopify is scoped and needs a developer
- Product pages need structured content the theme does not support

Questions agencies ask about white-label Shopify development
01Do you need the client’s owner login?
No. We work as a staff account on the client’s store, or through your agency’s Shopify Partner account, with only the permissions the job needs. Credentials sit in a shared password vault, never in email. When the work is done, we remove our access and confirm it in writing.
02Will changes affect the live store while you work?
No. We build in a duplicate of the live theme and share a preview link for review. The live store keeps trading on the current theme until you approve and we publish. If something needs rolling back after launch, the previous theme is still there.
03Can you build custom checkout features?
Within Shopify’s limits, yes. Checkout extensibility and Shopify Functions allow custom fields, discount rules and delivery logic, but some features depend on the client’s Shopify plan. We check the plan before scoping and tell you what it allows, so nobody promises the client something the platform will not do.
04Can you migrate a WooCommerce store to Shopify?
Yes. We move products, collections and content, then map every old URL to its new home with redirects. The migration runs on a preview first, and you check it before the switch. No one can guarantee rankings after a migration, but every redirect is documented.
05Will the client’s team be able to manage the store?
Yes. Sections and blocks let merchandisers change pages in the theme editor. Product content lives in metafields they can edit without a developer. We hand over an editing guide in your brand that shows where everything lives and what each setting does.
