Shopify development services for stores you fully own.
We set up, customise and extend Shopify stores for brands in Pakistan, the UK, the Gulf and beyond. You get a written fixed-price scope, a staged build you can preview, and a store, theme and apps registered in your name.
What are Shopify development services?
Shopify development services are the technical work of setting up, customising and extending a Shopify store so it fits how a business sells. That covers store setup, custom Shopify theme development in Liquid on Online Store 2.0, product and collection structure, metafields for extra product data, Shopify apps and integrations, checkout and payment configuration, and Shopify migration from platforms such as WooCommerce. At Ozairwebs, a Shopify developer in Lahore leads each build, and the scope is agreed in writing at a fixed price before any code is written. You see the work on a private preview theme, test it on real phones, and approve it before it goes live. The store, domain, theme files and app accounts stay registered to your business. Some clients need a fresh store, others need an existing theme fixed or a new feature added. We cover both, and optional maintenance keeps the store updated after launch.
What our Shopify store development covers
Pick the parts you need, from a first store setup to a single custom feature on an existing theme.
Shopify store setup
We configure products, collections, navigation, shipping zones, taxes, payment methods and notification emails, then load your catalogue so the store is ready to take real orders on day one.
Custom Shopify theme development
We build or adapt Online Store 2.0 themes in Liquid, with sections and blocks your team can rearrange from the theme editor without asking a developer for every change.
Metafields and product data
Size guides, ingredients, delivery notes and specifications are stored in metafields and metaobjects, so product pages show structured details that are easy to edit and filter.
Shopify apps and integrations
We choose and configure Shopify apps for reviews, subscriptions, bundles and email, and connect the store to ERPs, couriers, Klaviyo or Google Merchant Center through APIs.
Shopify migration
We move products, customers, order history and URLs from WooCommerce or other platforms, set up 301 redirects and check that search traffic and links keep working after launch.
Shopify Plus and scaling stores
For larger merchants we work with Shopify Plus features such as checkout extensibility, Shopify Functions and expansion stores, while keeping the theme fast as the catalogue grows.

How the Gifts for Haramain store is organised
Customers of Gifts for Haramain buy from many countries, so the store needed to explain a service that happens far away and build trust before checkout. The Liquid theme groups offers into clear collections, and dedicated trust and how-it-works pages answer the questions people ask before paying. Shopify checkout handles payment, and a currency selector lets buyers see prices in a familiar currency. The result is a store that stays simple to manage from the Shopify admin.
- Collections that group gifts and charitable acts by type
- How-it-works page explaining each step after an order
- Trust page that answers common questions before checkout
- Currency selector for customers buying from different countries
- Shopify checkout for secure, familiar payment
- Theme sections the owner can edit without code
Shopify or WooCommerce: which should you choose?
Both platforms run serious stores. The right choice depends on who will manage the store, how much control you need and where your customers are.
| Factor | Shopify | WooCommerce | Custom Next.js store |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting and updates | Hosted by Shopify, updates handled for you | You choose hosting and keep WordPress and plugins updated | Hosted on your own cloud account, maintained by your developer |
| Running costs | Monthly Shopify plan plus paid apps | Hosting plus premium plugins and maintenance | Hosting and maintenance, no platform plan |
| Design control | High within Liquid and Online Store 2.0 rules | Very high through themes and PHP | Complete, every page is custom code |
| Checkout | Shopify checkout, extended on Shopify Plus | Fully editable, including Cash on Delivery rules | Fully custom, including COD and local gateways |
| Selling abroad | Shopify Markets for currencies, languages and domains | Plugins for multi-currency and translation | Built to your exact market rules |
| Usually suits you when | You want a managed platform and fast setup | You already use WordPress or need deep checkout control | You need custom flows or your own dashboard |
How a Shopify build runs from scope to launch
Every Shopify project follows the same six stages, so you always know what is being built and when you will see it.
- 01
Free consultation
We talk through your products, markets, payment methods and current platform, in English or Urdu, and note what the store must do.
- 02
Written fixed-price scope
You receive a scope listing pages, features, apps and integrations with a fixed price in PKR or USD before any work starts.
- 03
Store and data setup
We configure the store, import products and customers, set up metafields, shipping and taxes, and prepare any migration redirects.
- 04
Theme build on a preview
We build the theme on an unpublished preview, so you can review real pages on a private link while the current store stays live.
- 05
Real-device testing
We test browsing, search, cart and checkout on real phones and desktops, including test orders through each payment method.
- 06
Launch and handover
We publish the theme, connect the domain, confirm redirects and analytics, and hand over every login, file and app account.
Running a Shopify store for customers in Pakistan
Shopify works for Pakistani customers, with a few practical differences. Shopify Payments is not offered to stores registered in Pakistan, so local stores usually rely on Cash on Delivery, bank transfer and local payment gateway apps where they are available. Courier booking with services such as TCS or Leopards is often handled through apps or a simple integration. For brands selling abroad from Pakistan, Shopify Markets helps show local currencies and pricing per country.
- Cash on Delivery set up as a manual payment method
- Local payment gateway apps reviewed for your business type
- Courier booking and tracking through apps or APIs
- Order confirmation messages on WhatsApp Business
- Shopify Markets for UK, Gulf and US pricing
- Urdu or English store content as your customers need
Questions people ask
How much does a Shopify store cost?
A Shopify store's cost depends on the theme approach, the number of products and templates, custom features, apps, integrations and whether data must be migrated. Shopify also charges its own monthly plan, and some apps add fees. We do not publish fixed prices, because scopes vary widely. After a free consultation you receive a written fixed-price quote in PKR or USD.
How long does it take to build a Shopify store?
A Shopify store usually takes a few weeks from approved scope to launch. A setup on an adapted theme with a small catalogue is faster, while custom Shopify theme development, many integrations or a large migration take longer. The timeline is set in the written scope, and you see progress on a private preview theme throughout the build.
Can you customise a Shopify theme?
Yes, we customise existing Shopify themes and build new ones in Liquid on Online Store 2.0. That includes new sections and blocks, product page layouts, metafield content, filters and speed fixes. We work on a duplicate or unpublished theme, so your live store keeps selling while changes are built and reviewed on a private preview link.
Can you migrate my store from WooCommerce to Shopify?
Yes. A WooCommerce to Shopify migration moves products, variants, images, customers and order history, and maps old URLs to new ones with 301 redirects. We check SEO titles, descriptions and structured data so search traffic carries over. Before launch we compare product counts and test sample orders, and we keep the old store available until you approve the switch.
Does Shopify work for customers in Pakistan?
Yes, Shopify works for customers in Pakistan, though Shopify Payments is not available to stores registered there. Local stores usually offer Cash on Delivery, bank transfer and supported local gateway apps. Courier booking and order updates can be added through apps or integrations. For selling abroad from Pakistan, Shopify Markets helps with currencies and country pricing.
Shopify or WooCommerce: which should I choose?
Choose Shopify if you want a hosted platform with updates and security handled for you and a quick setup. Choose WooCommerce if you already run WordPress, need deep checkout control or want to avoid monthly platform fees. Both can sell well. We compare your catalogue, team skills, payment needs and budget in the consultation before recommending one.
Do you work with Shopify Plus stores?
Yes, we work on Shopify Plus stores, including checkout extensibility, Shopify Functions for discounts and delivery rules, and expansion stores for new markets. Shopify Plus is an enterprise plan sold by Shopify, and we help you decide whether its features justify the cost. We are not a certified Shopify Plus partner, and we say so plainly.
Who owns the Shopify store and theme after launch?
You do. The Shopify store is created under your account, the domain is registered to you, and the theme files and app subscriptions sit in your name. We work as a staff account with the access you grant. At handover we pass on every login and file, and you can remove our access at any time or keep us on a maintenance plan.
