Hire a Shopify developer for a DTC brand

A Shopify developer implements the theme section you approved, configures the app you chose, and fixes the cart or speed issue you can already describe. The hire is full-time, based in the Philippines, and starts from $2,500 a month. They ship inside your store. They do not redesign the offer.

Start in 14 days.

Tasks this hire takes on

DTC brands hire this seat when the backlog is theme and app work, not another ticket in the helpdesk.

  • Build a theme section from a design the brand already approved.
  • Install and configure an app the brand chose, and remove one that is slowing the store.
  • Fix a cart or checkout bug the brand can reproduce.
  • Work the speed items a report already listed: images, apps, and theme weight.
  • Connect a form, review app, or pixel the brand pays for.
  • Ship on a staging theme, and write down what changed.

Tools they work in

Ask for Liquid and the theme workflow you actually use. A page-builder-only background is a different match.

  • Shopify admin and the theme editor.
  • Liquid, and GitHub if the brand keeps the theme in git.
  • Shopify CLI.
  • A speed report the brand already ran.
  • Slack and a staging theme, so production is not the first place a change appears.

How the hire works

  1. You share the theme, the backlog, and whether the work is Online Store 2.0, a custom theme, or a page builder.
  2. We shortlist full-time Shopify developers in the Philippines. This role starts from $2,500 a month.
  3. The trial week is one scoped change on a staging theme, with a replacement or refund if it is the wrong developer.
  4. They ship the backlog you prioritized. Merchandising and the offer stay with the brand.

Support tickets, email sends, and product photography are other seats. This developer writes and configures the store.
