Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Shopify development services

How long does a custom Shopify theme take to develop?

It depends on complexity and the features you need. Simple theme customizations move faster than complex custom builds with advanced features. We provide a detailed timeline during discovery based on your requirements and desired launch date.

Can you work with my existing Shopify theme?

Yes — We specialize in customizing existing Shopify themes, whether you are using a premium theme, a free theme, or a legacy custom theme. We can add new features, optimize performance, improve mobile experience, enhance conversion elements, and integrate third-party apps—all while maintaining your brand identity and core functionality. We also provide theme audits to identify optimization opportunities.

What is the difference between theme customization and custom theme development?

Theme customization modifies an existing Shopify theme (like Dawn or a premium theme) to match your brand and add specific features. It is faster and more cost-effective. Custom theme development builds a unique theme from scratch, with more design freedom and specialized functionality. Verlua builds websites and stores as one-time projects in the $2,500 – $5,000 range. Stores with large catalogs, subscriptions, or custom integrations are scoped after discovery, and we quote a fixed price before work starts.

Do you integrate third-party apps with Shopify stores?

Yes! We have extensive experience integrating popular Shopify apps for inventory management, shipping, marketing automation, customer service, reviews, subscriptions, and more. We can integrate apps like Klaviyo, Yotpo, Gorgias, ReCharge, ShipStation, and hundreds of others. We also develop custom app integrations and private apps when third-party solutions do not meet your specific needs.

How do you optimize Shopify stores for conversion?

Our Shopify conversion optimization includes strategic UX improvements, streamlined checkout flows, trust signals and social proof, mobile-first design optimization, fast page load times, compelling product page layouts, strategic CTA placement, A/B testing frameworks, and analytics implementation. We use data-driven insights from user behavior, heat maps, and conversion funnels to identify and fix friction points throughout the shopping experience.

Can you migrate my store from another platform to Shopify?

Yes. We migrate stores to Shopify from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, and custom platforms. The process covers data migration (products, customers, orders), URL structure preservation for SEO, design replication or improvement, app setup, thorough testing, and post-launch support, with downtime kept short.

Do you provide ongoing support after the Shopify store launches?

Yes. Ongoing support can include theme updates and bug fixes, performance monitoring, app management, seasonal design updates, new features, and technical troubleshooting. We scope support to what your store needs.

How do you ensure my Shopify store is fast and performs well?

We start with clean, optimized code that follows Shopify best practices, efficient theme architecture, image optimization and lazy loading, and careful app selection to avoid performance-heavy apps. We build toward Core Web Vitals in the green range and run regular performance checks.

Can you build custom features that are not available in existing Shopify apps?

Yes — We develop custom Shopify features and functionality using Shopify Liquid, JavaScript, and Shopify API integrations. This includes custom product configurators, advanced filtering and search, subscription models, custom calculators, unique checkout experiences (Shopify Plus), member portals, wholesale functionality, custom inventory management, and B2B features. If you need functionality that does not exist in the Shopify app ecosystem, we can build it.

How much does Shopify development cost?

Verlua builds websites and stores as one-time projects in the $2,500 – $5,000 range. Stores with large catalogs, subscriptions, or custom integrations are scoped after discovery, and we quote a fixed price before work starts. Add-ons such as app integrations or custom features are priced in the same quote.
