• 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. That matters in San Antonio: 64.6% of residents are Hispanic or Latino, and 40.4% speak a language other than English at home, 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 Texas tax and privacy rules apply to a Shopify store?

Texas stores charge a 6.25% state sales tax plus up to 2% local tax, follow an annual sales tax holiday and, if they're large enough, must meet the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act. Here's the checklist we set up on every Texas build:

• ✅ Sales tax rates. Texas charges 6.25% statewide, and local taxes can add up to 2%, for a maximum of 8.25%. San Antonio is at the 8.25% maximum.
• ✅ Remote sellers. Out-of-state brands must collect Texas sales tax once their Texas sales pass $500,000 a year. Remote sellers can choose the state's single local use tax rate instead of tracking every local rate.
• ✅ Sales tax holiday. In 2026, the holiday ran from August 7 to 9. Most clothing, footwear and school supplies under $100 per item were exempt. Online orders qualify when payment is made during the holiday, and shipping counts toward the $100. A $95 item with $8 shipping is taxable.
• ✅ Privacy. The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act has been in effect since July 1, 2024. Covered businesses need a clear privacy notice and must let shoppers opt out of targeted ads and data sales. Most small businesses are exempt, but every business needs consent before selling sensitive data.

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

Shopify for San Antonio food, beverage and subscription brands

Food, beverage and consumer brands grow fastest on Shopify when repeat buyers subscribe. That's where much of our work sits:

• Manukora: after we rebuilt its Shopify store, subscription conversions rose 32% and its returning customer rate rose 20%. Read the Manukora case study.
• Bravo Pouches: recurring revenue grew 563% and active subscribers reached 1,436 on Stay AI, according to Stay AI's case study.
• Alp N Rock: a Shopify 2.0 rebuild cut page load time by about 40% with zero SEO impact. That matters for San Antonio shoppers on mobile.

We set up subscriptions on Stay AI, Recharge or Skio. See our Shopify subscription setup.

What hours do we work with San Antonio teams?

San Antonio runs on Central time, one hour behind New York. That gives us a full shared working day, so calls, reviews and launch support happen during your business hours.

How much does a Shopify agency in San Antonio 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. Shopify's plan is separate. Basic starts at $29 a month billed yearly, and Plus at $2,300 a month on a 3-year term.

Is a San Antonio-based agency a better fit?

Choose a local agency if you want to meet in person in Alamo Heights or Stone Oak. Choose us if you want a Platinum-tier team that has already set up bilingual stores, Texas tax and subscriptions, and you're comfortable working over video in nearly the same 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 Texas.
