Shopify Platinum Partner Serving

Seattle, WA

Custom Shopify development for Seattle-area brands — from Capitol Hill and Ballard to Bellevue and Redmond.

Shopify Agency Seattle, WA

We're a Shopify Platinum Partner building custom Shopify stores for Seattle brands: direct-to-consumer subscription storefronts for the region's coffee, CPG and outdoor-apparel companies, and B2B portals with ERP integration for its manufacturers and distributors.

We don't have a Seattle office and would rather say so than imply otherwise. Pacific time gives partial working-day overlap with our New York development team, and we handle the gap with written handoffs rather than leaving you to manage it.

Why Shopify businesses in Seattle choose SOLO MEDIA GROUP

Seattle combines a powerhouse technology sector with aerospace, maritime trade, and a nationally influential coffee, food, and outdoor-apparel scene. For the region's coffee, consumer packaged goods, and apparel brands we build direct-to-consumer subscription and conversion rate optimization storefronts engineered for loyal repeat buyers, and for its manufacturers and distributors we develop B2B portals with ERP and inventory integrations on Shopify Plus. Multi-location retailers rely on our Shopify POS work, and every build meets ADA accessibility standards.

SOLO MEDIA GROUP is a Shopify Platinum Partner with offices in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles, serving Seattle remotely. Our senior developers and AI-assisted workflows support mid-market to enterprise merchants.

Are AI shopping agents changing what Seattle brands need from a Shopify agency?

Yes, and the direction is the opposite of what most brands assume. Shopify reports AI-driven orders grew 15-fold through 2025, and president Harley Finkelstein has said 75% of AI-attributable orders in Q2 2026 came from outside Shopify's largest 100 categories. Agent-led discovery is favoring niche and mid-market brands, not enterprise ones, because AI agents match on structured product data rather than on keyword popularity.

That single fact changes what ecommerce development work is worth paying for. Search engines rank by popularity against a handful of keywords. AI agents make multiple calls into Shopify's Catalog and match against richer structured data, so the brand with complete, well-structured product information wins the recommendation regardless of domain authority. A Seattle coffee subscription with 40 SKUs and clean metafields can now outrank a national competitor inside a ChatGPT conversation.

Shopify made this infrastructure available to millions of merchants through Agentic Storefronts, co-developed the Universal Commerce Protocol with Google, and syndicates product data across ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Mode and Gemini. The platform layer is handled. What isn't handled is whether your product data is good enough to be chosen.

Which is why top Shopify development companies are being asked a different question in 2026. Not can you build us a store but is our data structured well enough for a machine to recommend us. Most Shopify developers are still answering the first one.

Why Seattle brands work with us

Seattle's mix of technology, aerospace, maritime trade and a nationally influential coffee, food and outdoor-apparel scene produces a specific kind of ecommerce brand: technically literate founders, subscription-heavy categories, and wholesale relationships running alongside direct.

Seattle's tech scene changes the conversation

More brands here have a technical founder or an engineer on staff, which means integration approach, API access and site performance get scrutinized rather than taken on trust. That's a better conversation than most, and it's the one we prefer.

What does a Seattle Shopify agency need to get right?

Three things. Subscription cadence matched to actual consumption rather than a default 30 days, which matters for coffee and CPG more than any other category. Wholesale and direct running on one catalog without channel conflict. And migrations that preserve organic traffic, because technical SEO is where replatforms fail rather than where they're planned.

Everything else is standard Shopify work. Those three are where Seattle projects go wrong.

"We worked with SMG to rebuild our site from the ground up. The project involved migrating from Magento, cleaning up years of technical debt, and setting up a new Shopify experience that finally feels clean, fast, and modern."
Say It With A Condom, Shopify Partner Directory review

Our core Shopify services

Shopify web design and custom themes

Custom Shopify design built on Shopify 2.0 in Liquid rather than configured from a template. Theme customization and custom theme work that carries your brand identity, because a visually appealing store and one that converts aren't automatically the same thing. Cohesive style guides make every later campaign cheaper to produce. See Shopify Plus development.

UX design and creative direction

UX design, modern website design and creative design decisions made from behavioral data. User experience work has a direct, measurable effect on conversion and average order value, which is why we treat web design as an engineering input rather than a finishing layer.

Shopify web development

Full-stack Shopify web development, custom development and app development where the platform doesn't cover what the business needs. Custom app development addresses requirements no App Store app fits. See Shopify app development.

ERP and systems integration

Connecting Shopify stores to ERP, OMS, PIM, inventory and CRM so data flows correctly at scale rather than at demo volume. Shopify integrations are where operational efficiency actually comes from. See Shopify ERP integration.

B2B and wholesale

Shopify Plus supports company accounts, custom pricing catalogs, order minimums and net terms for wholesale customers, connected to your ERP. See Shopify B2B development.

Migrations from custom platforms

From Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce or custom platforms, with product data and customer records verified before transfer, and search engine optimization preserved through one-to-one 301 redirects. Data migration has to preserve SEO, customer and order history — technical SEO is the critical discipline during replatforming and the reason organic traffic survives or doesn't. See Shopify Plus migration services, and if a replatform has already cost you rankings, a migration SEO audit finds the cause in 48 hours.

Conversion rate optimization and A/B testing

A CRO strategy built on testing rather than assumption. Conversion optimization targets average order value alongside conversion rate, since both move revenue. See conversion rate optimization.

Site performance

Core Web Vitals tracked against real user field data, verified before go-live rather than after. See Shopify speed optimization.

Retention

Subscriptions and email marketing flows driving repeat purchase. Retention marketing is where long-term success actually compounds for subscription categories. See Shopify subscriptions setup.

Ongoing support

Ongoing optimization, maintenance and performance monitoring past launch. Our approach is monthly rather than quarterly, because compounding beats a single push.

How to choose among Seattle Shopify agencies

The same test applies whether you hire us or not.

  • Verify Partner status through the official Shopify Partner Directory, not the badge on the site. Five tiers: Registered, Select, Plus, Premier, Platinum. A Shopify Premier Partner sits one below Platinum, and reportedly around 150 agencies globally hold Premier. We're listed at Platinum, the tier above. Verify it.
  • Ask for relevant experience in your market. Shopify development companies vary enormously by category depth. A firm that's never built a subscription coffee business will learn on your budget.
  • Press on technical depth. Ask what they've built with Shopify APIs and custom themes rather than theme configuration. Technical expertise and strategic guidance are different things and most agencies are stronger at one.
  • Check client reviews on the directory, where Shopify verifies reviewers are actual clients.
  • Ask about communication structure. Clear delivery structure and defined reporting is what separates a reliable partner from a good pitch.
  • Ask what happens after launch. Post-launch maintenance and performance monitoring is where most of the value accumulates, and it's the question people forget.

Our fuller guide: how to choose a Shopify agency.

Do you need Shopify Plus?

Shopify Plus is built for enterprise-scale operations, and Plus partners are qualified for high-volume sales and complex automations. It's reported to handle in excess of $10 million in daily transactions and includes 24/7 support. But you need it for a named capability — custom checkout, multi-store, per-account B2B pricing, more than ten inventory locations — not because you crossed a revenue number.

The leading ecommerce platform for growing brands is often standard Shopify, and we'll say so rather than upsell. Shopify Plus is used by some of the world's fastest-growing brands, and it's also sold to plenty of enterprise brands who didn't need it. See Shopify Plus vs Shopify.

What makes us different from other Shopify agencies

Design and engineering sit in one embedded team, so a finding doesn't become a ticket in someone else's backlog. That's the whole difference, and it's why brands stay.

We're a Shopify Platinum Partner with 500+ merchants served since March 2018 and 75+ replatforms delivered, with clients generating more than $500M a year on stores we built. For HUK Gear that meant ERP integration plus inventory synced across 59 Shopify POS locations, built working directly with their CIO.

Before working with them, we went through four or five different providers, and none came close to the level of service we've received from Johnathan, Michele, and their team.

ADEGEN, skincare brand — Shopify Partner Directory review

That pattern is common. Brands cycle through agencies that can build a storefront but can't solve the operational problem underneath it, and each rebuild starts over.

We're a Shopify design agency and development partner, not a full-service marketing firm. We don't run paid search, digital marketing campaigns, mobile app development or marketing efforts beyond the retention work coupled to how the store is built. That focus is deliberate. If you need acquisition and development from one partner, we'll say so on the call.

Seattle Shopify FAQ

Working with us in Seattle

No. Our offices are in New York, Miami and Los Angeles. Pacific time gives partial overlap with our New York team, and we handle the rest with written handoffs and a project lead who owns the timezone gap. If daily in-person contact matters, hire locally and we'll say so.

Published industry figures put an expert-built Shopify store anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000 depending on scope. Our design-and-build projects start around $20,000 as a line-item estimate, with retainers from 20 hours or $3,000 a month.

Yes, and they're the most common Seattle project. The work is cadence matched to real consumption rather than a default 30 days, dunning for failed payments, and a portal where skipping takes under ten seconds.

Yes. Product data and customer records are verified before transfer, redirects are mapped one to one before launch, and your existing store stays live while we build and test. Cutover is a DNS change.

Not if technical SEO is planned rather than retrofitted. URL structures differ between platforms, so nearly every URL changes. One-to-one redirect mapping before launch is what preserves rankings. If it's already happened, a migration SEO audit finds the cause in 48 hours.

Yes. A support window on original scope, then a retainer covering maintenance, performance monitoring and iterative optimization. Most of our client relationships run for years rather than a single project.

Technical SEO, yes — site architecture, structured data and Core Web Vitals are part of how we build. Paid search, social and content marketing, no. For acquisition you want a specialist.
