Shopify store setup and development for Philippine brands
Move your sales out of Messenger and onto a fast Shopify store that takes GCash, Maya and card payments, ships to every island, and is ready for Google from day one. When an app store app won’t do what you need, we build a custom app for your store.

Still selling through chat and screenshots?
Social selling gets you started, but it doesn't scale. Every order costs time, and every slow page or awkward checkout costs a sale.
Orders stuck in Messenger
Every sale means replying to “how much po?”, sending a GCash number and checking screenshots by hand.
A slow, app-heavy theme
Each app adds its own scripts. Pages crawl on mobile data and shoppers leave before they see a product.
Checkout that doesn’t fit PH buyers
No GCash or Maya, shipping rates that ignore islands, and no clear COD option, so carts get abandoned.
Messy product data
Hundreds of SKUs in spreadsheets, variants set up inconsistently, and stock that never matches reality.
A store set up properly from day one
Everything a Philippine online store needs to take orders, get paid and ship, without a pile of monthly apps.
Custom theme built for speed
Sections built into the theme instead of stacked apps, so your store loads fast on mobile data.
GCash, Maya & cards
A Philippine payment gateway that works with Shopify, set up and tested, plus COD if you offer it.
PH shipping zones
Rates for Metro Manila, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, free-shipping thresholds, and store pickup.
Product & data migration
Products, variants, images and collections moved from spreadsheets, Lazada/Shopee exports or another platform.
SEO & GA4 wired in
Clean titles and descriptions, structured product data, a sitemap and Google Analytics 4 tracking from day one.
Shopify Functions
Custom discount rules, bundle pricing and checkout validation as native Shopify Functions, not fragile scripts.
Inventory & system sync
Connect Shopify to your POS, ERP, warehouse or accounting system so stock and orders stay in step.
Handover you can run
A recorded walkthrough so your team can add products, run sales and manage orders without calling us.
When the app store doesn't have it, we build it
Native custom apps (formerly private apps) made for your store only: your rules in checkout, your systems connected, and fewer monthly app fees.
Shopify Functions
Discount, bundle, shipping and payment rules that run inside Shopify’s own checkout, for logic no app store app quite covers.
Checkout validation
Block orders that break your rules, like quantity limits, member-only products or unshippable addresses, before payment.
Admin API & webhooks
A custom app installed only on your store that reacts to orders, customers and inventory changes as they happen.
System integrations
Sync orders and stock with your POS, ERP, warehouse, accounting or subscription billing, with retries so nothing is lost.
Admin tools for your team
Screens inside the Shopify admin for jobs your staff do by hand today, such as bulk edits, approvals or reports.
Replace paid apps
Swap several monthly app subscriptions for one app built for your store, with no per-order fees and no extra scripts.
Already have a store? A custom app can be built on its own, without a redesign.
Discuss a custom appDeal Dunk: 2,000+ stalled Shopify orders released
Deal Dunk runs a subscription membership storefront on Shopify. A single missing database write was silently stalling a growing backlog of paid orders. We traced it across the Shopify and subscription-billing webhook streams, shipped the fix behind a guarded backlog drain, and built their native Shopify Functions app for custom cart discounts and checkout validation.
The same engineering goes into every store we set up: checkout and order flows tested end to end, not just a theme that looks right.
From scope call to first order
A fixed scope and a staging preview, so you know what you're getting and can see it before it goes live.

Launch and support
We connect your domain, test real orders end to end, hand over a walkthrough, and stay on for 30 days of post-launch fixes.

Shopify store questions
How much does a Shopify store setup cost in the Philippines?
Our Shopify setup package has a fixed starting price, shown on this page, and covers the theme, product setup, payments, shipping, SEO and 30 days of support. Larger catalogs, custom integrations or Shopify Functions are quoted on a scope call before any work starts.
Can my Shopify store accept GCash and Maya?
Yes. We connect a Philippine payment gateway that integrates with Shopify, so customers can pay by GCash, Maya or card at checkout, and we can add cash on delivery or bank transfer as manual payment methods.
Can you move my products from Shopee, Lazada or a spreadsheet?
Yes. We import products, variants, images and collections from spreadsheets, marketplace exports or another platform, and clean up the data so variants and stock are consistent.
Do you use a premium theme or build a custom one?
We build a custom theme, or extend a fast base theme, with the sections your store needs built in. That keeps the number of apps, and the scripts they load, to a minimum.
How long does it take to launch a Shopify store?
It depends on your catalog size, integrations and how ready your product photos and copy are. We give you a fixed timeline with the quote, before any work starts.
Can you build a custom or private Shopify app?
Yes. Shopify replaced private apps with custom apps, which are installed only on your store. We build them with the Admin API, webhooks and Shopify Functions for custom discounts, checkout validation, integrations and admin tools. We have shipped native Shopify Functions in production.
Can you fix or speed up my existing Shopify store?
Yes. We audit the theme and installed apps, remove what’s slowing the store down, and fix broken checkout, discount or order flows. Larger rebuilds are scoped as a project.
Do you work with brands outside Cebu?
Yes. We’re based in Cebu and work remotely with brands across the Philippines and abroad.
