Every candidate comes from our pool of developers in Ukraine and Eastern Europe whom we know personally, chosen for your store, not taken from a bench. You see 2 to 4 vetted candidates, interview them and pick one. This page is about developers inside your team, paid by the hour. For a new store or a migration with a fixed scope and price, see Shopify development. For a whole group that we run for you, a dedicated team fits better.

Pricing
$45 to $65 an hour
The rate depends on seniority (middle, senior or lead), on full time or part time, and on niche skills: Plus checkout work, Shopify Functions or complex ERP integrations can move it up. Compared with a local hire, the cost is usually 40 to 60% lower.
You pay for the hours worked, with one invoice a month. The rate includes selection, contracts, equipment, HR support, replacements and the monthly reports. Your Shopify plan, paid apps, theme licences and other tools stay on your side.

FAQ
Which level of Shopify developer do we need?
For theme changes and new sections a middle developer is usually enough. Custom apps, integrations, checkout extensions and Plus call for a senior, and a lead fits when someone has to own the store's technical decisions.
Our theme is old and heavily customised. Can they work with it?
Yes. Vintage themes, heavily edited copies of Dawn and themes left by a previous agency are common. The developer maps what is custom first, then changes it step by step or plans a move to Online Store 2.0.
Can the same developer build apps, not only themes?
Say so in the role. We shortlist only people with both theme and app experience, and you test both in the interview.
What about time zones and hours?
Our developers are in Ukraine and Eastern Europe: 3 to 5 hours of overlap with Western Europe and 2 to 4 with the US East Coast, and most are flexible with hours and work well async. We work with companies in Seattle, across the US and in Europe.
What if the developer does not fit?
We replace the specialist and arrange the handover of the theme and open tasks.
Can we hire the developer in-house later?
Ask us. We discuss it case by case.
