Hiring a Shopify Developer: FAQ

How much does it cost to hire a Shopify developer?

At SPLIT Development, Shopify developers start at $35 per hour. The rate covers the developer, a project manager, a tech lead and a backup developer. Unused hours roll over for one month.

Can I hire a Shopify developer part-time?

Yes. You can hire a dedicated Shopify developer for a fixed number of hours per month or full-time. Many stores start with part-time hours and add more as the task list grows.

What is the difference between a Shopify expert and a Shopify developer?

Shopify expert is the name Shopify uses in its partner directory, and it covers designers, marketers and developers. A Shopify developer writes code: Liquid themes, apps, integrations and checkout logic. SPLIT Development is a Shopify Partner, and the developers on this page do the coding work.

Do your developers work on Shopify Plus stores?

Yes. Our developers build B2B catalogs, multi-store setups and Checkout Extensibility on Shopify Plus. Meroda Cosmetics runs five Shopify Plus stores supported by SPLIT Development.

Who owns the code your developer writes?

You do. Theme code and private apps built for your store belong to you, and if the engagement ends you get full access and a handover.

Why hire through an agency instead of a freelancer?

A freelancer works alone, so work stops when they are sick, busy or gone. At SPLIT Development a backup developer already knows your store, and a tech lead reviews the code before release.
