About Shopicrew

What is Shopicrew?

Shopicrew is a specialist Shopify agency, founded in 2020, that builds custom themes, Shopify apps, and high-converting storefronts for growing brands worldwide. Unlike generalist web agencies, Shopicrew works exclusively on Shopify — from a brand's first launch to Shopify Plus scale. The team has shipped 120+ stores and averages a 38% conversion-rate lift, with a 4.9 out of 5 client rating.

What makes Shopicrew different from other Shopify agencies?

Shopicrew is Shopify-only — every project, every day — so you get deep, specialized expertise instead of a jack-of-all-trades. Shopicrew pairs conversion-focused design with clean, maintainable Liquid and app code, and tunes every build for Core Web Vitals, averaging a 98 Lighthouse score. Most stores go live in 2–4 weeks, and clients work directly with senior specialists rather than account managers.

Who does Shopicrew work with?

Shopicrew works with growing e-commerce brands at every stage — from founders launching their first Shopify store to teams running multi-million-dollar Shopify Plus operations. Typical clients include apparel, coffee, skincare, outdoor, and consumer-electronics brands that have outgrown templates and want a faster, higher-converting storefront. Shopicrew operates remotely and serves clients worldwide.

When was Shopicrew founded?

Shopicrew was founded in 2020 by a team of Shopify developers and designers who wanted an agency that treats every store like its own. Since then, Shopicrew has delivered 120+ Shopify stores for brands across apparel, food and beverage, beauty, outdoor, and consumer electronics.

Services

What services does Shopicrew offer?

Shopicrew offers six core Shopify services: store setup, custom theme development and customization, Shopify app development, performance optimization, store redesign, and integrations & automation. Each is delivered by a senior Shopify specialist. Whether you are launching a new store, rebuilding an existing one, or connecting Shopify to your ERP, CRM, or 3PL, Shopicrew covers the full lifecycle from launch to scale.

Does Shopicrew build custom Shopify themes?

Yes. Shopicrew builds custom Shopify themes on Online Store 2.0 — fast, flexible, and on-brand. That includes custom Liquid sections and blocks, pixel-perfect Figma-to-Shopify implementation, theme-editor-friendly setups your team can manage, and builds tuned for accessibility and Core Web Vitals. Shopicrew can also extend or refactor an existing theme rather than starting from scratch.

Does Shopicrew develop Shopify apps?

Yes. Shopicrew develops both public and private Shopify apps using modern, scalable architecture. Work includes embedded Polaris admin apps, Shopify Functions and checkout extensions, Storefront and Admin API integrations, and App Store listing optimization. If you need custom backend logic — a quote builder, a subscription flow, or a bespoke workflow — Shopicrew can design and ship it.

Can Shopicrew migrate my store to Shopify?

Yes. Shopicrew migrates stores from platforms like Magento, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce to Shopify and Shopify Plus, preserving SEO rankings and avoiding downtime. A past Shopicrew migration moved a brand from Magento to Shopify Plus with zero downtime and no lost rankings. Product data, URLs, and 301 redirects are all handled as part of the move.

Does Shopicrew work with Shopify Plus?

Yes. Shopicrew builds and scales Shopify Plus stores for high-volume merchants, including custom checkout extensions, Shopify Functions, B2B setups, and replatforming from legacy systems. Shopicrew's architecture is designed to grow with you — from your first sales to $10M+ in revenue.

Does Shopicrew build headless or Hydrogen storefronts?

Yes. Shopicrew builds headless Shopify storefronts using Hydrogen and composable commerce when a brand needs maximum control over performance and UX. A past project delivered a headless Hydrogen storefront with a bespoke product configurator. Shopicrew will also advise honestly when a standard Liquid theme is the better, lower-maintenance choice.

Can Shopicrew improve my Shopify store's speed and performance?

Yes. Performance optimization is a core Shopicrew service. The team audits and fixes Core Web Vitals, optimizes images, fonts, and scripts, removes third-party app bloat, and targets Lighthouse scores of 90 or higher — Shopicrew builds average 98. Faster pages typically lift conversion and improve both search and AI-answer visibility.

Getting started

How do I start a project with Shopicrew?

To start, email [email protected] or submit the form on the Shopicrew contact page with a short description of your project. Shopicrew replies within one business day with clear next steps and, where scope allows, a recommendation and quote. There is no obligation and no hard sell — NDAs are welcome before you share sensitive details.

How long does it take Shopicrew to build a Shopify store?

Most Shopicrew stores go live in 2–4 weeks, depending on scope. A typical project runs in four phases: Discover (week 1), Design (week 2), Develop (weeks 3–4), and Launch (week 4 and beyond), with rolling QA throughout. Larger custom builds or app development can take longer; Shopicrew gives a realistic timeline before any work begins.

What does Shopicrew need from me to begin?

To begin, Shopicrew needs a short brief on your goals, your current store or platform (if any), and any brand assets or designs you have. From there, Shopicrew scopes the work precisely during a Discovery phase. You don't need everything ready — Shopicrew can help define scope, priorities, and the fastest path to launch.

Does Shopicrew offer a consultation or quote?

Yes. Shopicrew offers a no-cost initial consultation. Send a short note about your project and the team replies within one business day — usually faster — with a clear recommendation rather than a sales pitch, plus a quote where scope allows. You can reach Shopicrew at [email protected].

Pricing & terms

How much does a Shopify store from Shopicrew cost?

Shopicrew project budgets typically range from a few thousand dollars for focused work — a redesign, performance pass, or theme customization — to $25,000 or more for complex custom builds, apps, or Shopify Plus migrations. Pricing depends on scope, which Shopicrew defines up front so there are no surprises. Email [email protected] for a quote tailored to your project.

How does Shopicrew price projects?

Shopicrew prices each project by scope, defined during a Discovery phase, so you get a clear quote before work starts. Budget ranges run from under $2,500 to $25,000 and above, which helps match the right service to your goals. Shopicrew does not publish fixed package prices because every store, integration, and timeline is different.

Does Shopicrew offer ongoing support and maintenance?

Yes. Shopicrew provides go-live support and ongoing maintenance as your store grows and evolves — from small fixes and new sections to performance tuning and feature work. Many clients keep Shopicrew on as their long-term Shopify partner, working like an embedded, in-house team.

Will I own my Shopify store and code?

Yes. You own your Shopify store, theme, and any custom code Shopicrew builds for you. Shopicrew writes clean, documented, theme-editor-friendly code so your team — or any future developer — can maintain it. There is no lock-in to Shopicrew.

Edge cases

I'm on WooCommerce or Magento — can Shopicrew move me to Shopify?

Yes. Migrating brands from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, and other platforms to Shopify is a core Shopicrew service. Shopicrew preserves your SEO with proper 301 redirects, transfers products and content, and aims for zero downtime at cutover. A past Shopicrew project migrated a brand from Magento to Shopify Plus without losing a single ranking.

Does Shopicrew work with small or brand-new stores?

What if I only need a small fix or change?
