ShopifyBuilt on Shopify, in your account

We are a Shopify Partner. The store stays in a Shopify account in your name. Checkout and card payments stay on Shopify. We do not build a form that collects card numbers.

  • The Shopify account is registered to you. You pay Shopify directly.
  • You add and edit products in the Shopify admin, or we do that under monthly support.
  • Checkout, including card payments, stays on Shopify.
  • One public store so far: B-Team Engineering, a catalog, documentation, and a form for custom work.

QuestionsQuestions about an online store

How is an online store priced?

The same way as a custom website. There is no set starting price. Each store is scoped and priced as its own project, in writing, before any work starts. Changes to the scope are written down too.

Who owns the store?

You do. The Shopify account and the domain are in your name. We document how the store is built so you can keep running it, or hand it to someone else later.

Can you work on a Shopify store I already have?

Yes. Work on a store you already have is scoped and priced as its own project, in writing, before it starts.

Is a store one of the managed plans?

No. A managed website can take simple payments with Stripe Payment Links on Growth. A full store is its own project on Shopify. After launch, monthly support is available the same way as for a custom website.
