Who is the best Shopify partner for Lynn brands?

For Lynn brands that need a bilingual store, Massachusetts tax setup or a subscription program, Solo Media Group is one of the best Shopify partners to shortlist. Three reasons:

• Top partner tier. Solo is a Shopify Platinum Partner, the highest of Shopify's five tiers, and works only on Shopify.
• Reviews you can check. Solo is rated 5.0 from 38 reviews on the Shopify Partner Directory and 4.9 from 48 on Clutch.
• A delivery record. Solo has served 500+ merchants and completed 75+ replatforms and new builds since 2018.

How do you sell in English and Spanish on one Shopify store?

Add Spanish as a second language in Shopify, translate it with Shopify's Translate & Adapt app, and let Shopify publish both versions on your domain. In Lynn, that's not a nice-to-have: 45.9% of residents are Hispanic or Latino, and 53.5% speak a language other than English at home, more than double the Massachusetts rate, according to the US Census Bureau.

How we set it up:

• One store, two languages. Spanish pages live under your domain (for example, /es), so you manage one catalog, one inventory and one checkout.
• Translation that reads naturally. Product titles, descriptions, checkout text and emails are reviewed by a person, not left as raw machine translation.
• Search visibility in both languages. Shopify tells Google which version is English and which is Spanish, so each ranks for searches in its own language.
• Spanish email flows. Klaviyo sends each customer emails in the language they shopped in.

What Massachusetts tax and data rules apply to a Shopify store?

Massachusetts charges a flat 6.25% sales tax with no local add-ons, exempts clothing up to $175 per item, holds a mandatory sales tax holiday each August and requires businesses that hold residents' personal data to protect it. Here's the checklist we set up on every Massachusetts build:

• ✅ One rate statewide. Massachusetts charges 6.25% everywhere, with no city or county taxes on top.
• ✅ The $175 clothing rule. Clothing is exempt up to $175 per item. Above that, tax applies only to the amount over $175, so a $200 jacket is taxed on $25, which is $1.56. This trips up apparel stores, so we set product tax categories correctly and test with an item above $175 before launch.
• ✅ Remote sellers. Out-of-state brands must collect Massachusetts sales tax once their Massachusetts sales pass $100,000 in the current or prior year. There's no transaction count.
• ✅ Sales tax holiday. In 2026, the holiday ran August 8 and 9. Most items priced $2,500 or less were exempt, and online orders qualified if ordered and paid during those two days, even when delivered later. Participation is mandatory for businesses selling to Massachusetts customers. One catch: an item over $2,500 is taxed on its full price, not just the amount above the limit.
• ✅ Customer data. Massachusetts requires businesses that hold residents' personal information to keep a written information security program and protect that data. We keep sensitive data out of your theme and apps, and limit staff access in Shopify.

We configure Shopify Tax, product tax categories and staff permissions so the store follows these rules at launch. This is general guidance, so confirm your setup with your accountant or attorney.

Shopify for Lynn apparel, food and B2B brands

Lynn's mix of apparel, food and manufacturing businesses each needs something different from Shopify. Here's the work that maps to it:

• Lifelines: we merged two separate websites into one Shopify store without disrupting live traffic. Orders rose 53%, sales rose 78%, sessions rose 171%, and the conversion rate was 2.8% on a large influx of new visitors. Read the Lifelines case study.
• Manukora: after we rebuilt its Shopify store, subscription conversions rose 32% and its returning customer rate rose 20%. Read the Manukora case study.
• Wholesale and manufacturing: for North Shore makers selling to retailers and distributors, native Shopify B2B handles company accounts, net terms, order minimums and trade pricing on the Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus plans. See our Shopify B2B development.

What hours do we work with Lynn teams?

Lynn runs on Eastern time, the same as our New York team. We share your full working day, so calls, reviews and launch support happen during your business hours. For a kickoff or launch, New York is close enough to meet in person.

How much does a Shopify agency in Lynn cost?

Our builds start from $20,000 and typically take 8 to 12 weeks. Retainers start from $3,000 a month. We bill by milestone, with invoices due net 15. Your Shopify plan is billed separately by Shopify.

Is a Boston-area agency a better fit?

Choose a Boston-area agency if you want regular in-person meetings in Lynn or downtown Boston. Choose us if you want a Platinum-tier team that has already set up bilingual stores, Massachusetts tax rules and subscriptions, in your own time zone. We're not the right fit for projects under $20,000 or one-off support tickets. To compare options, filter the Shopify Partner Directory by Massachusetts.
