Why hire a dedicated Shopify developer through GlobalEmployees
Shopify makes launching easy — and scaling specific. Once your store outgrows off-the-shelf themes and public apps, you need someone who can write clean Liquid, build private apps against the Admin and Storefront APIs, and keep your theme fast as the marketing team piles on scripts. Hiring that person locally is slow and expensive; renting them from an agency means sharing them with every other client.
GlobalEmployees provides dedicated full-time Shopify developers who work exclusively for you, on your schedule. We've made 950+ placements over 12+ years from a pool of 2,800+ vetted candidates, for clients including Internet Brands and Fodor's Travel. We handle payroll, HR, office infrastructure, and compliance — you direct the work and save up to 70% versus a local hire.
What our Shopify developers do
- Theme development — custom Liquid themes and Online Store 2.0 sections, built for speed and conversion rather than page-builder bloat
- Custom and private apps — Admin API and Storefront API apps for pricing logic, inventory sync, and workflows public apps can't handle
- Headless builds — Hydrogen and custom storefronts on the Storefront API for brands that need full frontend control
- Shopify Plus — checkout extensibility, Shopify Functions, Launchpad, and Scripts migration for high-volume merchants
- Migrations — re-platforming from WooCommerce, Magento, or BigCommerce with product, customer, and order data intact and SEO redirects mapped
- Integrations and CRO — ERP/3PL connections, analytics, A/B testing support, and Core Web Vitals optimization

Skills our Shopify Developers bring
Frequently asked questions
How much does a dedicated Shopify developer cost?
Up to 70% less than hiring locally. One monthly rate covers the developer's salary plus payroll, HR, office, and equipment on our side. No recruitment fees. Contact us for rates by experience level.
Do your developers work with Shopify Plus?
Yes — including checkout extensibility, Shopify Functions, and Scripts-to-Functions migration for Plus merchants. Tell us you're on Plus and we'll match candidates with Plus project experience.
Can they build a headless storefront?
Yes. We have developers experienced with Hydrogen and custom storefronts built on the Storefront API with React or Next.js. Specify headless in your requirements and we'll shortlist accordingly.
Will the developer overlap with my working hours?
Fully. Dedicated developers work your business hours — US, UK, European, or Australian — as full-time members of your team, in your Slack and your sprint board.
How fast can I hire?
Matched resumes in 48 hours, unlimited free interviews, onboarding within days of selection. Most clients complete the whole process in one to two weeks.
What if the fit isn't right?
You interview free until you're confident, and every placement carries a 100% money-back guarantee with free replacement. The risk stays with us, not you.
