Are you looking for the best Shopify agency in Mexico City?

Solo Media Group is one of the best Shopify agencies for Mexico City brands that want Platinum-level engineering and a team that knows the US market they may be expanding into. We hold Platinum status, the highest of Shopify's five partner tiers. We've served 500+ merchants and completed 75+ replatforms and new builds since 2018, and we're rated 5.0 from 38 reviews on the Shopify Partner Directory and 4.9 from 48 on Clutch.

What that means for a CDMX brand:

• One partner for Mexico and the US. We set up your Mexican store and your US market on the same Shopify store, with USD pricing and US shipping.
• Proof you can check. Every result below comes from a published case study.

What does a Mexican Shopify store need at checkout?

Prices with IVA included, a way to pay in pesos and a way for customers to request a factura. Here's how each one works on Shopify.

Prices must show the total, with IVA

Mexico's consumer protection law (Ley Federal de Protección al Consumidor, article 7 Bis) requires sellers to show the total amount to pay "de forma notoria y visible," including taxes, fees and any other charges. In Shopify, we turn on tax-inclusive pricing so the price on every product page already includes the 16% IVA.

Shopify Payments works in Mexico, online only

Shopify Payments launched in Mexico on March 3, 2025. It accepts major credit and debit cards in multiple currencies and pays out to Mexican bank accounts in MXN. It's only available for online sales in Mexico, so a store with physical locations needs a separate processor for Shopify POS. We plan that split before launch.

Customers can request a factura (CFDI 4.0)

Business buyers in Mexico expect to invoice their purchases. Shopify apps such as CFDI Express let customers generate their own CFDI 4.0 factura at checkout or later from their account, online and at POS. We install and configure the app with your SAT certificates and product keys, so facturas don't pile up in your inbox.

Is your store ready for El Buen Fin 2026?

El Buen Fin 2026 runs for five days, from November 13 to 17, and business registration closes on November 12 at 23:59. Registration requires a valid RFC. What we set up in Shopify before the weekend:

• Scheduled pricing and collections that switch on at midnight on November 13 and off after November 17.
• IVA-inclusive sale prices, so the advertised discount matches the final amount at checkout, as the consumer law requires.
• Load and checkout testing, plus inventory buffers for your best sellers.
• Factura volume. CFDI apps charge per invoice or cap invoices by plan, so check yours before the sale.

What does Mexico's 2025 privacy law mean for your store?

Mexico replaced its private-sector data protection law on March 20, 2025, and the new law took effect the next day. The Secretaría Anticorrupción y Buen Gobierno now enforces it, replacing INAI. For a Shopify store, the core requirements are:

• An aviso de privacidad (privacy notice) that lists the personal data you collect, and separates necessary purposes from optional ones, such as marketing.
• New consent if you use data for a purpose your notice doesn't cover.
• A way to handle ARCO requests: access, rectification, cancellation and opposition.

We publish the notice, link it from checkout and set email consent in Klaviyo to match. This is general guidance, so confirm your setup with your lawyer or contador.

Selling from Mexico City into the US

Shopify Markets lets one Mexico City store sell in pesos at home and in dollars in the US, with Spanish and English content. As a US-based team, we handle the US side directly: USD pricing, US shipping rates, US sales tax setup and US-focused CRO.

How do we work across time zones?

Mexico City is on Central Standard Time all year, with no daylight saving. The gap to our New York team changes when the US changes its clocks:

Either way, we share almost your whole working day.

What results have we delivered?

• Lifelines: merged two domains into one Shopify store. Sessions rose 171%, sales 78% and orders 53%.
• Manukora: a New Zealand brand selling internationally. Subscription conversions rose 32% after a Shopify rebuild.
• Bravo Pouches: recurring revenue grew 563% and active subscribers reached 1,436 on Stay AI, according to Stay AI's case study.

How much does a Shopify agency cost?

Our full builds start from US$20,000 and typically take 8 to 12 weeks. Retainers start from US$3,000 a month. We bill in US dollars, by milestone. Shopify's plan is billed separately.

Should you hire a Mexico City agency instead?

Choose a CDMX agency if you need Spanish-speaking project management or in-person meetings in Polanco or Roma. Choose us if you want Platinum-tier engineering, published results and a team on the US side for cross-border growth. We're not the right fit for projects under US$20,000.
