Houston's Trusted Shopify Development Partner
Houston Shopify development for industrial suppliers and consumer brands operating across one of America's largest metros. Bulk and trade orders behave nothing like retail baskets, so we build quoting and volume pricing into the store from the start.
Real Mojo Dojo clients, on the record.
Quotes, volume pricing and trade accounts, built into Shopify.
Metro Houston had a record GDP of $697.0 billion in 2023, and a large share of it is industrial. The region holds 41% of US base petrochemical capacity, manufacturing employs about 238,271 people, and the Houston-Galveston Customs District shipped $180.9 billion of exports in 2024, the most in the country. Behind those numbers are thousands of suppliers selling valves, safety gear, tools, parts and consumables to other businesses.
Those orders look nothing like a retail basket. A buyer wants several hundred units at a tiered price, a quote for a custom spec, delivery to a plant gate or a rig supply base, and payment on terms against a purchase order. Put that buyer through a standard retail checkout and they will pick up the phone instead, or go to a competitor who makes it easy.
The consumer side is big and diverse as well. The metro added 126,720 residents in the year to July 2025, more than any other US metro, and about 30.2% of residents speak Spanish at home. Retail brands here need stores that work for bilingual shoppers across a region that covers 8,838 square miles.
We build Shopify and Shopify Plus stores with quoting, volume pricing and trade accounts designed in from the start, alongside consumer storefronts and eCommerce SEO foundations for technical product searches.
We also run this service nationally: see Shopify Development USA. Operating in other cities? See New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin and Miami.

Industries we help in Houston.
Six sectors where trade ordering or bilingual retail changes what a Shopify store has to do.
Energy and oilfield supply
Catalogs of parts, PPE and consumables for energy-related firms, with company accounts, site delivery addresses, purchase order numbers and approval rules for large orders.
Manufacturing and petrochemicals
Technical product pages with specifications, datasheets and compliance documents, plus quote requests for custom sizes and volume price breaks for standard stock.
Wholesale, distribution and export
Wholesale trade employs 166,334 people here. We build Shopify Plus B2B with customer price lists, minimum quantities, multi-currency for export buyers and ERP sync.
Medical and health supplies
With the Texas Medical Center nearby, suppliers sell to clinics and practices. We set up account pricing, reorder lists and gated catalogs for approved buyers.
Construction and home services supply
Construction employs 238,595 people. Suppliers get trade accounts, bulk pricing and local delivery zones, plus stock alerts for products that spike before storms.
Bilingual consumer retail
Retail and restaurant brands serving English and Spanish-speaking customers, with translated storefronts, bilingual support content and payment options that suit both audiences.

Why industrial and consumer brands choose Mojo Dojo for Shopify and Shopify Plus.
Bulk and trade orders behave nothing like retail baskets, so we build quoting and volume pricing into the store from the start. That is a lesson from 15 years of taking brands onto Shopify and Shopify Plus and replatforming others, including suppliers who had given up on selling online.
We are a web design and development agency with deep marketing expertise, so we can build the trade portal, the consumer store and the search and paid campaigns that bring buyers to both.
Shopify is a hosted platform that lets businesses of any size sell, ship and manage inventory. Its B2B tools now cover much of what industrial suppliers need, but configuring them for real procurement workflows takes an experienced Shopify developer and designer.
Our project managers, designers, developers and SEO experts make the project easy for your sales and operations staff and give you what you need to decide now and later. The approach has converted millions in sales for our clients.

Why Shopify beats a legacy ordering system.
Shopify takes care of hosting, security and updates. We build the trade and quoting logic that industrial buyers need.
Every non-standard order becomes an email chain
Custom sizes, large quantities and special delivery requests all go through sales reps by phone and email, which slows buyers down and ties up staff.
Quotes and volume pricing online
We add quote requests, tiered volume pricing and draft orders your team can approve and convert, so buyers get an answer fast and repeat orders become self-service.
Features that need a rebuild
Adding capability to a custom-coded store usually means another development project.
Extensions that extend the store
Modifications can easily be applied by adding extensions which further the capabilities of your Shopify site.
Privacy and card processing risk
Handling payments and customer data yourself carries compliance and security risk.
A compliant, secure environment
Shopify provides an environment which is compliant with privacy laws and credit card processing laws, and payments are processed via the Shopify platform so your data and your customers' data is not stolen.
Spanish-speaking customers left to guess
A large share of shoppers speak Spanish at home, and an English-only store loses some of them at product details, delivery or returns.
Bilingual storefronts
We set up translated storefronts through Shopify Markets or translation apps, with Spanish product content, policies and notifications that are properly indexed.
Relying on your agency for every change
Is your site custom coded and difficult for you to use?
A store you can manage yourself
We create Shopify developments that work for YOU, easily managed and modified by you and your staff at the end of the day.
All our Shopify websites are.
An industrial catalog or a consumer brand, the same four standards apply to both.
SEO friendly. An SEO friendly Shopify store: our team of experts takes time to understand your business to ensure relevant keywords are built in to rank well.
On brand. Brand relevancy by creating a Shopify design aligned with your brand that meets customer needs.
Designed to convert. Developed around the ultimate user pathways, ensuring customers are converting and generating revenue.
Easily modifiable. Your Shopify store can be managed and modified by you at the end of the day, without relying on external parties.
Shopify development with a difference.
Shopify lets your team manage stock, pricing and accounts for both channels from one admin. You have the ability to:
Manage inventory
Keep track of your stock levels both in your bricks and mortar store and on your website. Make modifications to your products, offer variations in size, color, in bundles or singular items, and find the most efficient ways to categorize them.
Modify and customize your own site
Have you always relied on your agency or developers to modify your site? Shopify developments allow you to make changes to your site without relying on external parties.
Website maintenance
We highly recommend regular website maintenance to improve the security of your website. Regular updates bring new features and functionality and reduce the risk of being hacked.
Flexible shipping options
Choose fixed shipping rates, tiered rates, free shipping over a certain spend or as a standard inclusion, weight-based shipping or location-based shipping all over the world.
Secure payment facilities
Secure payment gateways and integrations with multiple applications ensure your payments are delivered to you safely and your customers' payment details are not compromised.
Manage customer information
Store customer information through customer profiles, categorize customers, export for marketing purposes and learn more about your customer groups through their buyer behavior.
Headless Shopify
Shopify headless uses a Jamstack approach and focuses on speed and scalability. A headless build with Hydrogen or your custom stack gives you the flexibility you need from your eCommerce platform.

Rodeo season, trade shows and storm season.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo drew a record 2,735,695 people over 23 days in 2025, a late-winter peak for western wear, food and event brands. The Offshore Technology Conference in May brings energy professionals from more than 100 countries, and it is often when new trade relationships start, so B2B stores need signup and ordering working smoothly beforehand.
Then there is the weather. Hurricane season runs from June to November, and it affects both demand and operations. We help suppliers set up stock alerts and pre-order options for storm preparation products, and we plan launch dates and migrations with enough slack that a disrupted week does not derail the project.
Our Shopify development services in detail.
What an industrial Shopify build includes
For suppliers, the core of the project is usually company accounts, price lists, quoting, purchase order checkout and ERP integration, with a clean technical catalog on top. Consumer brands focus more on speed, bilingual content and checkout. The services below cover both.
Shopify Store Development
Shopify is the world's leading ecommerce platform for good reason. It handles hosting, security, and payment infrastructure at a level that most businesses could not replicate themselves. What it does not do is tell you how to build a store that converts.
Over the last 15 years, Mojo Dojo has built hundreds of Shopify stores across retail, fashion, health, beauty, homewares, food, and industrial supply. Every store we build starts with your customers. How do they navigate? What do they need to see before they buy? Where do they drop off?
Our store builds cover everything from initial Shopify account setup and theme selection through to custom Liquid development, app configuration, and full launch support. We do not hand you a store and disappear.
Shopify Plus Development
Shopify Plus is the enterprise tier of the platform, built for high-volume merchants. It unlocks capabilities that standard Shopify does not offer, including checkout extensibility, advanced automation through Shopify Flow, dedicated support, and lower transaction fees at scale.
Our Shopify Plus work includes:
- Custom checkout UI extensions and checkout.liquid builds
- Shopify Flow automation design and implementation
- Wholesale / B2B store configuration
- Multi-store / expansion store architecture
- Launchpad campaign scheduling and flash sale configuration
- Enterprise ERP and OMS integrations (NetSuite, SAP, MYOB)
Headless Shopify / Jamstack
For merchants who need extreme frontend performance, a headless Shopify architecture decouples the storefront from the Shopify backend. Your frontend is built with a modern JavaScript framework (Next.js, Remix, Nuxt) and served via a CDN edge network, while Shopify handles the commerce logic through the Storefront API.
The result is a store that loads in under a second, scores 95+ on Google Lighthouse, and can support complex content experiences that are impossible in a standard Liquid theme.
We use Shopify Hydrogen for purpose-built headless storefronts and can integrate with Contentful, Sanity, or your existing CMS for content management. Headless is not right for every store, and we will tell you honestly if the complexity is warranted by your revenue and performance requirements.
Shopify SEO Optimization
Shopify has well-known SEO constraints out of the box. Duplicate content from collections and products, the /collections/*/products/* URL structure, and limited control over canonical tags are common pain points that affect organic performance.
Our Shopify SEO work addresses the platform's limitations directly:
- Product and collection page schema markup (Product, BreadcrumbList, FAQPage)
- Canonical URL management and duplicate content elimination
- Faceted navigation and filter page management
- Image optimization and alt text at scale
- Collection page content architecture for long-tail keyword targeting
- Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse score improvements
Magento to Shopify Migration
Migrating from Magento to Shopify is one of the highest-value platform decisions an ecommerce business can make. Magento carries significant technical debt, requires expensive dedicated hosting, and demands developer involvement for tasks that Shopify handles natively.
A migration done poorly destroys organic rankings built over years. Our migration process preserves your SEO equity through meticulous 301 redirect mapping, URL structure planning, and content validation before cutover. We have migrated stores ranging from 500 to 50,000 SKUs.
Our migration process covers:
- Product, customer, and order data migration
- 301 redirect mapping for all existing URLs
- SEO audit pre- and post-migration
- App stack rationalization and configuration
- Theme development on the new platform
- Parallel testing before cutover
- Post-launch monitoring and issue resolution
How we build your Shopify store.
Six stages, all run online, with sales, operations and finance each signing off the parts of the build that touch their work.
Planning and discovery
We map your customers, catalog, integrations and goals in a Shopify planning and discovery phase, then recommend Shopify, Shopify Plus or headless based on what your store actually needs.
UX and design
We design user pathways and a Shopify design aligned with your brand, focused on purchases via a refined UI/UX and conversion best practice.
Development
From Shopify account setup and theme selection through to custom Liquid development, app configuration and integrations.
SEO and data migration
Schema markup, canonical URLs and Core Web Vitals are built in. For replatforms we migrate product, customer and order data and map 301 redirects for every existing URL.
Testing
Parallel testing before cutover, plus a pre-launch crawl to verify nothing has been missed.
Launch and ongoing support
Full launch support, post-launch monitoring and issue resolution, with an ongoing maintenance and optimization retainer available.

“Their team understood our business before we even had to explain it. Enquiries are up 250% and the quality is better than ever.”
The framework behind the stores we build.
Most stores are optimised for traffic. This one is about revenue, the ten changes to a store that move the number at the bottom of the report, in the order to make them.

Free. 14 pages. In your inbox. Magic-link delivery, it arrives in about two minutes, and there's no sales call attached to reading it.
Do you work with Houston businesses?
Yes, remotely. Discovery, design reviews and training run over video calls scheduled for US business hours, every change is tested on a shared staging store and we send regular reporting. There is no office to visit, so sales and operations staff can join from the plant, the warehouse or home.
Can Shopify handle quotes and volume pricing?
Yes. We set up tiered volume pricing and quantity rules, quote request forms linked to draft orders, and customer-specific price lists on Shopify Plus. Your team can review, adjust and send a quote that the buyer pays or approves online.
Can our store be in English and Spanish?
Yes. We publish Spanish versions of your storefront with Shopify Markets or translation apps, including product content, policies and customer notifications. We also make sure each language version is indexed properly so it can be found in search.
How long does a Shopify build take?
A standard Shopify store with an existing theme and up to 500 products typically takes 4 to 6 weeks from design approval to launch. Custom theme builds or Shopify Plus projects with complex integrations typically take 8 to 12 weeks. Migration projects depend on the size of your product catalog and the state of your existing data. We provide a detailed project timeline as part of your quote.
Will my store rank on Google after you build it?
We build every Shopify store with Shopify SEO optimization as a baseline requirement, not an optional add-on. This includes schema markup, canonical URL management, clean URL structures, image optimization, and Core Web Vitals performance. For ongoing organic growth, our Shopify Ecommerce SEO retainer builds on that foundation with content strategy, link acquisition, and monthly reporting.
Do I need Shopify Plus or will standard Shopify work for me?
Shopify Plus becomes commercially justified when you need custom checkout extensibility, advanced automation via Shopify Flow, B2B wholesale channels, multi-store expansion store architecture, or when your transaction volume makes the lower transaction fees economically worthwhile. We will give you an honest assessment based on your current and projected revenue.
Can you migrate my store from Magento or WooCommerce without losing my SEO rankings?
Yes, and this is one of the most important parts of a platform migration. We conduct a full pre-migration SEO audit, document every indexed URL on your existing store, map 301 redirects to their new Shopify equivalents, and run a post-migration crawl before going live to verify nothing has been missed. We have successfully migrated dozens of stores from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and custom platforms without ranking loss.
What does a Shopify development agency do?
A Shopify development agency plans, designs, builds and launches your Shopify store. That covers account setup, theme selection or a custom theme, custom Liquid development, app configuration, integrations, data migration and SEO foundations, followed by launch support and ongoing maintenance.
Why choose Shopify over a custom-coded eCommerce site?
Shopify is a hosted solution, so the infrastructure, code updates and uptime are handled for you. It provides an environment that is compliant with privacy and credit card processing laws, processes payments securely, and lets you extend the store with apps rather than paying developers for every change.
Can I manage and update my Shopify store myself after launch?
Yes. Every store we build is designed to be easily managed and modified by you and your staff. You can update products, variations, collections, shipping rules and customer information without relying on your agency or developers.
Is headless Shopify right for my store?
Headless Shopify decouples your storefront from the Shopify backend for extreme frontend performance and complex content experiences, typically built with Shopify Hydrogen. It suits stores whose revenue and performance requirements justify the added complexity, and we will tell you honestly if a standard Liquid theme is the better choice.
Can you take over a Shopify store another developer built?
Yes. If your current developer cannot handle your Shopify customization or produces sub-par results, we audit the existing theme, apps and custom code, fix what is holding the store back and take over development and support from there.
Do you offer ongoing Shopify maintenance and support?
Yes. We do not hand you a store and disappear. We offer post-launch monitoring and issue resolution plus an ongoing retainer for maintenance, new features, conversion rate optimization and security updates.
Which systems can you integrate with Shopify?
We integrate Shopify and Shopify Plus with enterprise ERP and OMS platforms such as NetSuite, SAP and MYOB, content management systems such as Contentful and Sanity, and the Shopify app ecosystem for reviews, subscriptions, shipping and marketing.
