A Shopify development agency builds, customises, and maintains your store on Shopify or Shopify Plus, from theme work and custom apps to checkout, integrations, and migrations. Dcrayons has run Shopify and e-commerce builds since 2016 from Delhi, with a US entity for overseas brands. We write our own Liquid, Online Store 2.0 sections, and custom apps instead of stacking paid plugins that slow the store down.
How we approach shopify development
A digital marketing agency that also writes the code, so the store ranks and converts.
1
Step 1: Audit and plan the build
We start with your current store, catalogue size, and the apps you already pay for. We map the data model, the checkout path, and the third-party tools you need connected, such as payment gateways, ERP, or a review tool. You get a written scope before any code is written.

Step 2: Theme and storefront
We build on Online Store 2.0 with reusable sections and JSON templates, so your team can edit pages without a developer. Liquid, CSS, and JavaScript are written by hand and kept light to protect Core Web Vitals. We avoid stacking page-builder apps that inject heavy scripts into every page.

Step 3: Custom apps and integrations
When a theme cannot do the job, we build private or custom apps with the Admin API, GraphQL, and webhooks. This covers product bundling, subscription logic, B2B price lists, and syncing orders to your ERP or accounting system. On Shopify Plus we also use Functions and checkout extensions instead of editing checkout.liquid.

Step 4: Migration, launch, and handover
We migrate products, customers, orders, and URLs from WooCommerce, Magento, or a custom store, with 301 redirects so rankings hold. Before launch we test checkout, tax, shipping rates, and analytics on the live theme. After launch you get the code, documentation, and a maintenance plan.

“Harshit Handa”
Dcrayons provided website development and design services for our regulatory compliance and taxation company. On-time delivery was commendable. The team was supportive, provided timely deliverables, and communicated with us through virtual meetings throughout the engagement.
The process was smooth and professional. Dcrayons delivered digital marketing for our beauty brand and the work landed measurable outcomes. 35% traffic increase, 45% social growth, and first-page Google rankings, with responsive management throughout.
They ensure all campaigns go live as scheduled without delays. The e-commerce and digital marketing support raised engagement, website traffic, and sales, and the project oversight stayed organised and responsive across the engagement.
Dcrayons made everything right. We commissioned a website design + development build from scratch. it shipped on schedule with responsive adjustments through the review cycles and met the Google feature compatibility we needed.
Their attention to detail and compliance-focused approach helps build a stronger and more sustainable business. Initially they ask for documentation many sellers find difficult to provide. that is exactly what sets them apart. They now also offer USA seller account management. Loved the service. Bestseller in 3 category.
Dcrayons took our Amazon account from steady but flat to explosive growth: 180 percent more revenue, from Rs 1.82 crore to Rs 5.10 crore.

Why brands choose Dcrayons for Shopify
Many Shopify stores break because the build and the marketing are handled by different vendors who never talk. At Dcrayons the same team handles the theme, the custom apps, the technical SEO, and the paid campaigns. That means clean product schema, fast pages, working tracking, and a checkout that holds up under ad traffic. We have built and run e-commerce stores since 2016 from our Delhi office, with a US entity for brands selling overseas.

Developers, SEO, and PPC sit on the same team, so the build is search-ready and ad-ready from day one
We write Liquid and custom apps in-house rather than charging you for a stack of monthly app subscriptions
You receive the full code, theme files, and documentation, with no lock-in to a private platform
Real questions people ask Dcrayons about shopify development. Honest answers, no jargon.
It builds and customises your store on Shopify, including the theme, custom sections, apps, integrations, and checkout. A capable agency also handles data migration, technical SEO, page speed, and ongoing maintenance. At Dcrayons the same team also runs SEO and paid campaigns, so the store is built to rank and convert, not just to look right.
We work on both. Standard Shopify suits most growing brands and covers themes, apps, and most integrations. Shopify Plus adds checkout customisation through Functions and extensions, B2B wholesale, script-level promotions, and higher API limits, which matter for larger catalogues and high order volumes.
Yes. We migrate products, variants, customers, orders, and content, and we map old URLs to new ones with 301 redirects so search rankings carry over. We test checkout, tax, and shipping on a staging theme before the switch. We also flag anything that needs a custom app on Shopify because the old platform did it differently.
We use a reputable app when it does the job well, such as a review or subscription tool. When an app is slow, costly per month, or cannot do exactly what you need, we build a custom or private app instead. The goal is a fast store with a controlled app stack, not a page weighed down by plugins you do not use.
A focused theme customisation can take a few weeks, while a full custom build with migrations and integrations takes longer. The timeline depends on catalogue size, the number of integrations, and how much custom app work is involved. You get a written scope with stages before we start, so the schedule is clear.
Yes. You receive the theme files, any custom app code, and documentation at handover. The store stays in your Shopify account under your billing. We can stay on for maintenance and marketing, but you are never locked into a private platform to keep the store running.
