Expert Shopify Development for Miami
Miami Shopify development for brands selling across bilingual audiences and into Latin America. Language, currency and payment preferences change conversion dramatically here, so we build the store to switch all three cleanly rather than translating text.
Real Mojo Dojo clients, on the record.
Language, currency and payments that switch cleanly.
About 67% of county residents aged 5 and over speak Spanish at home, and 54.5% of residents were born outside the US. Add a visitor economy that drew a record 28.3 million people in 2025, with Colombia, Brazil and Mexico among the leading international markets, and the typical customer of a brand here could be browsing in English, Spanish or Portuguese, paying in dollars, reais or pesos, and shipping to Doral, Bogotá or São Paulo.
Most stores handle that badly. Machine-translated menus sit on top of English product pages, prices show only in USD, checkout offers card payment and little else, and international shipping costs appear as a surprise at the final step. Every one of those gaps loses sales from exactly the customers a South Florida brand is best placed to serve.
The trade side is just as international. The county's international airport moved nearly 3.5 million tons of freight in 2025, making it the busiest US cargo airport, and trade, transportation and utilities is the largest employment supersector in the county. Distributors and exporters increasingly want Latin American buyers to order online.
We build Shopify and Shopify Plus stores where language, currency and payment options change together, cleanly, for each market, backed by eCommerce SEO foundations that let each language version rank on its own.
We also run this service nationally: see Shopify Development USA. The same service is available in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Austin.

Why bilingual brands choose Mojo Dojo for Shopify and Shopify Plus.
Language, currency and payment preferences change conversion dramatically, so we build stores that switch all three cleanly rather than translating text and hoping for the best. That approach comes from 15 years of launching and replatforming brands on Shopify and Shopify Plus, including stores that sell into several countries.
We are a web design and development agency with deep marketing expertise, so the multilingual store and the campaigns that target each market are planned together.
Shopify is a hosted platform for selling, shipping and managing inventory, and Shopify Markets gives it strong international tools. Using them well, so each market feels native, still takes an experienced Shopify developer and designer.
Our project managers, designers, developers and SEO experts keep the build simple for your team in both languages and help you decide which markets to open next. That thinking has converted millions in sales for our clients.

Why Shopify beats a custom store for international selling.
Shopify handles hosting, security and compliance. We make every market feel local.
Paying developers for every update
Custom platforms need developers to patch and update the code on a regular basis.
Free updates and platform uptime
You receive free updates to the code, uptime from the Shopify platform and access to a range of functions for a set monthly subscription.
Translations bolted on top of an English store
Machine-translated menus and untranslated product details tell Spanish and Portuguese-speaking shoppers the store was not built for them.
Native storefronts for each language
We set up translated storefronts through Shopify Markets, with properly translated product content, policies and emails, and language-specific URLs that search engines index.
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.
Card-only checkouts for international buyers
Many Latin American shoppers prefer local payment methods or installments, and a USD card-only checkout loses them at the last step.
Local currencies and payment options
We enable local currency pricing, relevant wallets and payment providers for each market, and show duties and shipping upfront so the total never changes at checkout.
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.
In English, Spanish or Portuguese, every storefront we deliver meets the same four standards.
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 every market 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.

Event season, storm season and the holiday peak.
Winter and spring bring the biggest events of the year. The tennis Open at Hard Rock Stadium drew a record 405,448 attendees in 2025, the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend an estimated 275,000, and Art Basel and Art Week more than 75,000 in December 2024. For luxury, fashion, art and hospitality brands, those are the moments when visitors discover a brand they will keep buying from online.
Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. We plan launches and migrations with enough slack for disrupted weeks, and help suppliers set up stock alerts and pre-orders for storm preparation products. We also make sure builds are finished before the Black Friday and holiday peak, when ecommerce sales are at their highest.
Our Shopify development services in detail.
What a multi-market store needs
For brands selling across the Americas, the build usually centers on Shopify Markets: translated storefronts, local currencies and payment methods, duties and taxes, and shipping rules by country, plus hreflang and URL structure for search. The services below explain each piece.
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, delivered remotely, with separate review and sign-off for each language and market before it goes live.
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.
Areas we serve in Miami.
We work remotely with brands across the county and the wider tri-county metro. Everything runs over video calls, with a staging store you can click through and reports on a set schedule. That includes Brickell, Downtown, Wynwood, Little Havana, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Key Biscayne and Miami Beach.
We also build for businesses in Doral, Hialeah, Kendall, Pinecrest, Homestead and Aventura, and to the north in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach.
Selected results.
Three featured client stories from our portfolio, used to illustrate how we approach multi-market stores. They are not Florida results.
“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 Miami businesses?
Yes, remotely. We run discovery, design reviews and training over video calls scheduled for US Eastern business hours, share a staging store so you can test every language and market, and send regular reporting. There is no office to visit.
Can one Shopify store sell in English, Spanish and Portuguese?
Yes. With Shopify Markets we publish translated storefronts from one store, each with its own URLs, currency and, where needed, payment methods and shipping rules. We use professional translation workflows for product content and make sure every language version is indexed correctly.
Can we sell to wholesale buyers in Latin America on Shopify?
Yes. Shopify Plus B2B supports company accounts, customer-specific price lists, quantity rules and payment terms, and catalogs can be translated. We also capture details such as freight forwarder addresses and tax IDs at checkout so export orders are complete.
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.
