A Shopify store built to sell from day one

CartWorks is a Shopify development agency working with brands in the UK, Europe, the USA, and Canada. We plan, design, and build complete Shopify stores, from a quick store setup to a fully custom build. Every build uses Online Store 2.0, so your team can edit pages, banners, and collections in the theme editor without calling a developer.

We handle the parts that slow most launches down: product and collection structure, metafields, shipping zones, taxes, payment gateways, Shopify Markets for multi-currency selling, and full testing on real devices before launch. You get a staging store to review, clear documentation, and a handover walkthrough so your team is confident from the first order.

We set up the payment options your customers expect, such as Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal, and Klarna, and we build multilingual stores when you sell in more than one language. We build stores at every scale, from boutique shops to catalogs of 20,000+ products, including abkeys.com and xremotes.com.

Shopify store setup service

Need a store live fast? We set up a quality theme, your products, payments, shipping, taxes, and email notifications, and test everything before launch. You get a fixed quote up front.

Shopify store development cost

Most custom builds cost between $5,000 and $15,000, depending on design, catalog size, and features. Our guide to what it costs to build a Shopify store explains what drives the price.

Selling in more than one country or language

We set up Shopify Markets for local currencies, translated content, and separate URLs for each language so every version can rank in Google. Need an Arabic version? We are native Arabic speakers. See our Arabic Shopify store service.

Upgrading to Shopify Plus

If you are growing fast, we review your sales volume and needs and tell you honestly whether Shopify Plus is worth it. When it is, we handle the upgrade, including checkout customization, B2B, and automation. See when to upgrade to Shopify Plus.

Choosing the right Shopify agency

Ask any agency for live stores they built, a fixed scope, and clear ownership of the code. We show our work, quote a fixed price, and hand over everything we build. Our checklist of 10 questions to ask a Shopify agency can help.

Most stores do well on a standard Shopify plan. Shopify Plus (from $2,300 a month) is worth it once you need higher volume, advanced checkout customization, B2B or wholesale, multiple storefronts, or stronger automation. We recommend the plan that fits your sales and goals.
Look for live stores the agency has built, a clear fixed scope, milestone payments, and full ownership of the code after launch. Ask how they handle multiple languages, payments, and support after go-live.
Yes. We review your current theme, apps, and setup, then improve what is there on a duplicate theme so your live store keeps running. We only recommend a full rebuild when your current setup is genuinely holding you back.
