Shopify & Shopify Plus Development Australia
Built for stores that are ready to scale.
We design and build on Shopify and Shopify Plus for Australian businesses — migrating stores in from other platforms, building custom themes and apps, and engineering stores that hold up at real volume. This is where we focus.
What’s included
Every layer of a Shopify build, covered.
Theme development, app development, platform migrations and Shopify Plus builds — run as one connected specialism, not a generic ecommerce package with Shopify’s name attached.
01
Custom Theme Development
A theme built from the ground up around your brand and catalogue, not a customised template fighting you at every edit.
We build custom Shopify themes in Liquid, designed around how your store actually needs to work — not the limitations of an off-the-shelf theme.
Theme
- Custom Liquid themes
- Section & block architecture
- Metafield-driven content
- Theme performance
Design
- Responsive design
- Mobile-first builds
- Brand-matched UI
- Accessibility
02
App & Feature Development
Custom Shopify apps and features for the exact functionality your store needs, when a marketplace app doesn’t cut it.
When off-the-shelf apps don’t fit or start stacking up and slowing your store down, we build custom functionality directly into your theme or as a private app.
Apps
- Custom app development
- Private apps
- Shopify Functions
- Checkout customisation
Features
- Custom product options
- Subscription features
- Loyalty & rewards
- Bundle & kit builders
03
Platform Migrations to Shopify
We move stores onto Shopify from Magento, WooCommerce or anywhere else, without losing data, rankings or a single order.
Migrating to Shopify is most of our platform migration work now — product data, customer history, SEO and order history moved across properly, not just re-keyed.
Migration
- Magento to Shopify
- WooCommerce to Shopify
- BigCommerce to Shopify
- Legacy platform migration
Preservation
- SEO redirect mapping
- Customer data migration
- Order history transfer
- Zero-downtime cutover
04
Shopify Plus
Built for stores running at real volume — multi-currency, wholesale, custom checkout, the features Shopify Plus unlocks.
Our focus is high-volume Shopify Plus builds — stores that have outgrown a template and need engineering to match their scale.
Plus
- Shopify Plus builds
- Custom checkout extensions
- Multi-store & multi-currency
- Wholesale channels
Scale
- Launch engineering
- Flash-sale readiness

Why Growth Digital
More than a digital agency. Your growth partner.
We’re more than a digital agency. We become an extension of your team—bringing strategy, design, development, marketing and AI together to solve problems, unlock opportunities and drive measurable business growth.
01
Results Before Everything
Every decision we make is guided by outcomes, not opinions. From websites and digital marketing to AI automation, we focus on the metrics that matter—qualified leads, conversions, revenue and long-term business growth.
“If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.”
02
Faster Execution. Smarter Delivery.
Traditional agencies lose momentum in meetings, approvals and internal processes. We keep communication focused, decisions fast and projects moving—so more time is spent delivering results, not discussing them.
“Ideas are easy. Execution is everything.”
03
AI Built In, Not Bolted On.
AI isn’t an extra service—it’s part of how we work. We use AI and automation to streamline workflows, accelerate delivery and help your business operate more efficiently as it grows.
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”
04
Different by Design.
Growth Digital was built to challenge the traditional agency model. No expensive offices. No unnecessary overheads. No sales-driven culture. Just an Australian-led team supported by experienced global specialists, delivering premium digital solutions with better value, faster turnaround and greater flexibility.
“The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking that created them.”
05
Your Long-Term Growth Partner
We’re here for more than a single project. As your business evolves, we continue to optimise, improve and support your digital ecosystem—helping you adapt, scale and grow with confidence.
“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.”
Why us for Shopify
Built for stores that have outgrown the basics.
This is where we specialise
We’re not a generalist agency that also does Shopify. Shopify and Shopify Plus are where our development team focuses, from custom themes through to enterprise-scale migrations.
Migrations that don’t lose a single order
Every migration is mapped product by product, customer by customer, before anything goes live — so your SEO, your order history and your customers survive the move intact.

Urszula Kelly
We’re really happy with Growth Digital. They built our new website and now take care of our SEO. The team was great to work with — professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with. The website looks clean, modern, and represents us perfectly.
Calamvale Medicine
We started Google Ads with Growth Digital for our pharmacy, and it’s made a real difference. More people are finding us online, and the ads actually bring in local customers. Very happy with their work.
Georgia Smith
They helped me build and customise my Shopify website exactly the way I wanted it. I had plenty of requests and lots of back and forth along the way, and they were always so patient, responsive, and accommodating. The end result is even better than I imagined.
Werner Obermeier
I signed up with Growth Digital to replace my website with a new design after about 20 years of mixed experiences with other IT companies. Jignesh and Heath exceeded all of my expectations and I am extremely happy with the outcome and their timely responses to all issues.
David Finnimore
The team at Growth Digital went above and beyond to deliver our project on-time and on-budget under testing circumstances including pushing through non-working hours. The results speak for themselves but the effort and energy put into our project was more than expected.
Bessette Bridal
My brand required a completely new website which had many moving parts. Jignesh, Heath and their team are calm, diligent, and prompt to assist. Nothing was ever a problem — very happy with how the new site has come together.
Maylene Slater-Burns
We are a First Peoples company and required a lot of time to facilitate community consultations. This company has been so supportive and patient and accommodating; we cannot brag up about them enough.
Sandy Prasad
I have used Growth Digital to set up my medical clinic. Heath has been the main IT specialist. He has been exceptional. Extremely talented. Very efficient and very high quality service.
Alison C
They took my idea and put it into a website that I am proud to go live on. They have been a great source of support during this time and I will continue to utilise their services further as my company grows. Highly recommend.
Jane Dunning
I recently worked with Growth Digital to create the new website for my business, Best in Show Photography, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. As a fine art photography company focused on the deep emotional bond between people and their dogs, it was incredibly important to me that the website felt warm, inviting, and premium. Growth Digital delivered exactly that. They beautifully showcased my portfolio, creating a clean, elegant layout that allows the images and stories to truly shine. Beyond the stunning design, the website is highly functional, easy to navigate, and perfectly set up for clients looking to invest in lifelong family portraits. The communication throughout the project was seamless, and their attention to detail made the entire process stress-free. If you are looking for a digital agency that listens, understands your brand identity, and delivers a high-quality product, I highly recommend Growth Digital!
Courtney Atkins
Growth Digital were amazing; they were very quick and so helpful. Heath was so great to work with and put together our website, very professional and highly recommended for anyone wanting to complete a website!

Working with Growth Digital on our new website was an incredibly smooth and positive experience. The entire process was clearly explained, well-organized, and professionally guided from start to finish. The end result is excellent — we’re truly proud of our new site.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Growth Digital and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.

Growth Digital is very professional and exceeded my expectations for an updated website. Great communication with Heath through out the process and was completed in said time frame. Can highly recommend.
Peter M
Very happy, they kept in good contact with me throughout, were well priced and provided exactly what I was after. Well done Growth Digital.
Travis Mcnaught
I’d definitely recommend this company for building a website and SEO. I had dealings with Jignesh & Heath and our company couldn’t be happier with the design and layout of our website. They made the process extremely easy and smooth, with explaining and answering questions that we had throughout the process. Heath was great to deal with and always quick with his work and with prompt response to my questions.
Dealivered
We recently worked with Growth Digital to set up our website and were extremely pleased with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the final launch, Heath was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. He took the time to understand our needs and ensured everything was running smoothly before going live.
YL
Big thank you to Heath and Jignesh! They were able to cater to my needs and freshen up my shopify store. From start to finish they were very transparent, knowledgeable and also competitive with pricing. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Kwong Keet Chan
This team is fantastic from first encounter to finished project. It was a pleasure to deal with Jignesh and Heath in the whole process. They were friendly, professional, patience and get things done promptly and to-the-point. We got our e-commerce store moved from Ecwid to Shopify and nothing is too big or too small to enquire or explore. More than satisfied with the result.
Lea Simmonds
Was very happy with Heaths service and setting up our Website.
Tendai Makanyanga
It was an excellent experience working with Growth Digital. Jignesh, Heath and the team were responsive to our needs setting up our business website, Tutum Mental Health. They were great teachers along the way as well. We would highly recommend this company.
Dave Sullivan
Jignesh and Heath provide an excellent service. My new website professionally reflects my product. One of my core requirements was the website needed to be easy to navigate and understand. My expectations were exceeded. All of my requests were promptly responded to and communicated back to me. I am not all that Tech savvy however, I was respected, and time was taken to explain some of the more complex issues with me. They are patient.
Leathercare Melbourne
Huge thanks to Growth Digital for an awesome website and SEO work! The team was super easy to work with, and the results speak for themselves — our site looks great, and we’re getting way more traffic. Highly recommend!
Antoinette Braybrook
Very thorough, responsive and supportive. I am new to Shopify and learning a lot from Heath. Thank you.

Where we build
Different cities, different scale.
Melbourne
Melbourne’s fashion and retail brands scaling past a basic storefront are a natural fit for Shopify Plus, particularly once multi-currency or wholesale channels come into play. Migrations off older platforms are common here as retailers outgrow what they launched on.
- Fashion & retail Plus builds
- Multi-currency stores
- Wholesale channel setup
- Platform migration demand
- Scaling retail brands
- Enterprise theme development
Sydney
Sydney’s larger and enterprise retailers most often need the custom checkout extensions and multi-store setups that only Shopify Plus unlocks, alongside the complex migrations that come with moving an established store off legacy infrastructure.
- Enterprise Shopify Plus
- Custom checkout extensions
- Multi-store architecture
- Legacy platform migration
- Complex catalogue builds
- High-volume engineering
Brisbane
A lot of Brisbane brands come to us mid-migration, having outgrown a DIY platform and needing Shopify built properly the first time rather than patched together.
- Growth-stage Shopify builds
- DIY-to-Shopify migration
- Foundational theme development
- Scaling-brand support
- First proper Shopify build
- Migration-led engagement
Perth
Trade-supply and B2B-leaning stores in Perth increasingly move to Shopify Plus for its wholesale and B2B ordering features, since generic ecommerce platforms rarely handle bulk pricing and account-based ordering well.
- B2B Shopify Plus
- Wholesale channel builds
- Trade-supply stores
- Bulk pricing & ordering
- B2B checkout customisation
- Practical enterprise builds
Adelaide
Adelaide brands moving to Shopify Plus tend to be doing so deliberately, having already proven demand on a smaller platform and now needing the infrastructure to handle real growth.
- Growth-validated migrations
- Deliberate Plus upgrades
- Proven-demand scaling
- Local brand Plus builds
- Considered platform moves
- Right-timed migrations
Gold Coast
Tourism and lifestyle retailers on the Gold Coast see genuine seasonal order spikes, which is exactly the kind of load Shopify Plus is built to absorb without a store buckling during a launch or sale.
- Seasonal-load Shopify Plus
- Tourism & lifestyle retail
- Flash-sale engineering
- Peak-season reliability
- Launch-day readiness
- Seasonal migration timing
Canberra
Corporate and consulting-adjacent retail in Canberra occasionally needs Shopify Plus for procurement-style B2B ordering, alongside the accessibility standards that come with a more formal buyer base.
- B2B procurement ordering
- Corporate-adjacent retail
- Accessible Shopify builds
- Compliance-aware development
- Formal buyer requirements
- Professional-services-adjacent stores
Hobart
Hobart’s food, wine and craft retailers selling interstate need shipping and freight logic built into checkout from day one, since Bass Strait freight costs and timelines behave nothing like standard interstate shipping.
- Freight-aware checkout
- Food & wine ecommerce
- Interstate shipping logic
- Statewide Tasmania builds
- Small-catalogue Shopify
- Craft & produce retail
Ready to build on Shopify properly?
Send us your current store — or the platform you’re migrating from — and we’ll show you what a properly engineered Shopify or Shopify Plus build looks like. No cost, no obligation.

Shopify & Shopify Plus development, built for scale
Shopify and Shopify Plus are where our ecommerce development work is focused — not because it’s the only platform, but because it’s the one we’ve chosen to go deep on, for stores serious about scaling rather than launching something quick and basic. Migrating in from another platform is one of the most common ways that starts.
We build and migrate Shopify stores for businesses across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Canberra and Hobart — catalogue size, seasonal demand and growth stage differ from city to city, and the build reflects that.

What’s the actual difference between Shopify and Shopify Plus?
Standard Shopify covers most stores well. Shopify Plus adds enterprise features — custom checkout extensions, multiple stores under one account, native multi-currency, wholesale channels and higher API limits — built for stores running at real volume rather than a straightforward single-storefront setup.
Do you only build Shopify Plus stores, or standard Shopify too?
Both, but our focus is stores that are scaling or migrating in with real volume behind them, rather than a first, simple storefront. If standard Shopify is genuinely the right fit for where your business is at, we’ll say so rather than pushing Plus before it’s needed.
What does migrating to Shopify actually involve?
Every product, customer record, order and URL from your current platform gets mapped and migrated across, with redirects set up so search rankings carry over rather than resetting. We test the migrated store thoroughly before cutting traffic over, so there’s no gap where orders or data could be lost.
How much does a Shopify or Shopify Plus build cost in Australia?
Cost depends on catalogue size, migration complexity and how much custom theme and app work is involved — a straightforward migration costs meaningfully less than a full Shopify Plus build with custom checkout extensions. We scope every project against your actual catalogue and growth plans, not a flat package price.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
What’s included in a Shopify development project?
A typical project includes discovery and platform audit, custom theme development, any required apps or Shopify Functions, data migration if you’re moving from another platform, testing and launch, and ongoing support afterward.
Can you migrate my store from Magento, WooCommerce or another platform?
Yes — this is most of our platform migration work now. We map your full catalogue, customer data and order history before migrating, with redirects in place so your SEO carries across.
Do you build custom Shopify apps, or just themes?
Both. When a marketplace app doesn’t fit your exact requirements, or you’ve got several apps stacking up and slowing the store down, we build custom apps or Shopify Functions to replace them with something purpose-built.
How do I know if I need Shopify Plus, or standard Shopify is enough?
It generally comes down to volume and complexity — multiple storefronts, wholesale or B2B channels, high order volume, or custom checkout requirements are the usual signals. We’ll assess your actual catalogue and growth plans and give you a straight recommendation.
Will migrating to Shopify affect my SEO rankings?
Handled properly, no. We map redirects for every existing URL and preserve your content and metadata, so search engines see continuity rather than a new site appearing from nowhere.
Do you offer ongoing support after launch?
Yes. We stay on to monitor performance, fix issues and extend the build as your store grows, rather than handing over the keys and disappearing after launch.
Do you only work with businesses in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Canberra and Hobart?
No — those are simply the cities where Shopify build priorities tend to differ enough to be worth calling out specifically. We build Shopify and Shopify Plus stores for businesses anywhere in Australia; the approach is built around your actual catalogue and growth plans, wherever you are.
