Senior studio · Working with brands in the US, Latin America and beyond
Shopify development services.
Senior Shopify development services for brands that have outgrown templates: fast stores, UX that converts and direct access to the team doing the work. No account managers, no handoffs.
What we build.
Custom Shopify themes
Online Store 2.0 themes built in Liquid with JSON templates and sections everywhere, so your team can edit any page without touching code. Designed from scratch around your brand — not a premium theme with your logo dropped in.
Store setup & launch
Products, collections, navigation, payments, shipping, taxes, apps, analytics and a checkout ready to sell on day one. We run the whole launch and hand over a store you can operate yourself.
Migrations to Shopify
From WooCommerce, Wix, Magento, PrestaShop, Squarespace or a custom platform: products, customers, orders and redirects moved with your SEO intact, so you don't lose rankings or history.
Bundles & mix-and-match
Build-your-own-box, quantity discounts and fixed-price kits that lift average order value. We know this space from the inside — we built Comboo, our own Shopify bundles app — and can set it up or build custom bundle logic for your catalog.
CRO & UX audits and redesigns
A UX-first review of your product pages, collections, cart and checkout, followed by a redesign that removes friction and lifts conversion rate and average order value — measured, not guessed.
Ongoing support & optimization
Retainers or on-demand hours for new features, app integrations, performance work, seasonal campaigns and Shopify updates. Same senior team every time, no re-onboarding.
Recent Shopify builds include Dimont and La Avana in Miami, and Tres Almas, Latela, Mersee and Mim Skincare in Colombia. Browse the full portfolio in our projects.
Why brands choose Orbit for Shopify development.
- Senior team on every project: The people who scope your store are the people who design and build it. No juniors behind the curtain, no account managers in between.
- UX-first design: We design product pages, collections, cart and checkout around how people actually buy — then make it look unmistakably like your brand.
- Speed as the standard: Themes built for Core Web Vitals: lean Liquid, optimized images, no plugin bloat. Fast stores rank better and convert better.
- SEO foundations included: Clean URL structure, metadata, structured data, redirects and Shopify's SEO settings done right from day one — not bolted on later.
- US time-zone overlap: Medellín runs on UTC-5 — the same as US Eastern or Central depending on the season — so we're online during your whole workday.
- English-speaking team: Calls, documentation and day-to-day messages in English, with Spanish available if your team or your market needs it.
- Flexible engagement: One-off builds, migrations, CRO sprints or a monthly retainer — scoped to what your store needs now, with room to grow.

Frequently asked questions.
What's included in your Shopify development services?
Everything needed to design, build and launch a store that sells: UX and visual design, custom theme development (Online Store 2.0, Liquid), store setup (products, collections, payments, shipping, taxes, apps), integrations, performance optimization, SEO foundations, QA across devices, launch and training for your team. If you already have a store, we can scope a redesign, a migration or a CRO project instead of a full build.
How long does a Shopify project take?
A custom store typically takes 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on catalog size, integrations and how quickly content and approvals move on your side. A launch on a well-configured theme can go live in 3–4 weeks, a migration usually takes 3–6 weeks, and a focused CRO redesign 2–4 weeks. You see visible progress on a staging store every week.
Do you work with international clients? What about time zones?
Yes — our work is remote and we work with brands in the US, Latin America and beyond. The studio is based in Medellín, Colombia (UTC-5, no daylight saving), which lines up with US Eastern or Central time depending on the season, so we share your full working day. The team speaks English, calls are scheduled in your time zone, and day-to-day communication runs on WhatsApp, email or Slack.
Can you migrate my store to Shopify?
Yes. We migrate stores from WooCommerce, Wix, Magento, PrestaShop, Squarespace, BigCommerce and custom platforms. We move products, variants, images, customers, discount codes and order history (where the source platform allows it), rebuild your design on a Shopify theme, set up 301 redirects for every old URL and carry over your SEO metadata so you don't lose rankings. The migration runs on a staging store and we switch the domain only when everything checks out.
Do you build custom Shopify apps and integrations?
Yes. We build custom and private apps, theme app extensions, Shopify Functions for custom discount and checkout logic, and integrations with ERPs, CRMs, email platforms and fulfillment providers. We also built Comboo — our own bundles and mix-and-match app, listed on the Shopify App Store — so we know the platform from the inside, not just from the theme editor.
How do we start?
Message us on WhatsApp or email with a short description of your store and goals. We schedule a 30-minute discovery call, review your current setup and send a written proposal with scope, timeline and a custom quote — every store is different, so we don't publish fixed prices. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you honestly and point you in a better direction.
